Toups, I wonder why you can't get an interview with your favourite writer, with all those industry connections... Just ask his agent if he would accept to be interviewed by SON. Maybe he can send you a signed photo. :D

I asked to interview her and Dena didn't care, as in she would do the interview.

That's what puzzled me, she didn't care but would still accept the interview.

  • Member
Well, the point is, she said she would do it.

Yes, precisely. Why don't you pursue that? I mean, she's hated everywhere, but still... Maybe she has something clever to say. (As if...) B)

Toups, where did you get that picture. I would love to get one of someone who is actually writing something good. :)

I would like to know that, too. :)

Certainly, she wouldn't know anything about that... :D

She knows nothing about this. Well she may now, if she comes and sees. Your right Ron.

Was it Pam Long that someone here mentioned networks were trying to rehire? But she constantly refused?

Pam Long's had two very successful head writing stints on GL, for which she's won two Emmy's for. However, her writing stints on Santa Barbara and OLTL have been considered total flops, but word is, she hated network interference.

I wish she came back... I really don't understand the attitude - yes, the honchos are a crazy bunch, but still why not give it a try and then if it doesn't work, just flutter away?

Networks have wanted Nancy Curlee for a long time, but when she left GL, she said she it was purely out of wanting to raise her children. Well, it's been almost 15 years and she has yet to come back. There's also speculation that she hated network interference as well. She is married to Stepehen Demorest btw...

:huh:

Jill Farren Phelps was the executive producer of GL when Curlee/Demorest/Reilly/Broderick were wriiting the show. She was also the EP of both SB and GH when Guza and Pratt were writing both shows.

I understood that, I was just surprised somewhat she had been a part of such a successful GL team. :)

Make no mistake, Jill's first 2.5 years on GL were superb, in every sense of the word. It wasn't until Beverlee McKinsey walked and Jill had the character of Maureen Bauer killed off did things start to unravel. Needless to say, JFP should never again stick her head into the affairs of the writers...

There's bad blood between Broderick and Frons. When he demoted her from OLTL in 2003, he asked her to go back to AMC and head write there, she apparently refused and told him to go to hell.

I wanted Broderick back at AMC for the longest, but that will NEVER happen.

Lorraine certainly was offered AMC before McTavish came back (oh what a difference that would've made) but she was sick and tired of being a HW. I certainly don't think Broderick was nasty to Frons, because she remained on OLTL for a whole year after she turned down AMC. Then she was fired.

That would've gotten AMC back on track in a huge way! Her tone and style, IMO, is what AMC represents. Plus the dialog during her last tenure was fabulous.
