2007: The Directors and Writers Thread

[aMLCproduction]

well is he any good?

[Tzelkos]

I think McTavish is totally safe again, unless she walks because of what they did to her good friend Cady. Not to mention it was Megan who put the effort into getting Cady back. She did all the wooing and then JHC and Frons threw a contract in front of her. I'd be steaming mad if I was her.

But she knows she'll never get another job so...

As for Alden & Smith, nothing is ever going to come of it IMO. I think we'll hear somewhere down the road that they and ABC parted ways months earlier due to creative differences.

[Tzelkos]

Apparently both Alden & Smith's stints are very temporary.

I don't think any regime changes are going to happpen.

[R Sinclair]

I believe their last stint was on OLTL under Malone and Griffith -- I'm not sure. Once Higley came on and started bringing over some of her Days people, they were gone. I don't know what, if any, show they were on staff between OLTL and Days.

[Toups]

B&E's last wrote for OLTL.

Caseillo's at DAYS now? He doesn't really get me excited. Glad Girl, does he have the same agents as Hogan's crew or did he come to DAYS because he worked with Hogan at ATWT or both.

[aMLCproduction]

well the ratings are going up on both OLTL and AMC but the complaints are still there,. Sounds like what Days fans just went trhough.I just kant blivev that McT used to write with Nixon and she totlally disrespected her with the so kalled un abortion story

[GladGirl]

You're getting good at this, Toups. It's both.

Hannah Shearer

Frederick Johnson

***

Gordon Rayfield

Tom Casiello

Barbara Esensten

James Harmon Brown

Sofia Landon Geier

Jodie Scholz

Mike Cohen

Bettina Bradbury

and

Bruce Neckles

I have added the astreiks show a page break. The latest Soap Opera Weekly says that Esensten and Brown are story editors.

This is Casiello's profile,taken from SON's Resource Archive:

At ATWT,Mimi Leahey is back in the credits. She wasn't listed Friday.

[Andre]

When is Bruce Neckels leaving Days?? I thought his episode today (1/22) seemed a little disjointed and just didn't gel. I have never liked him.

[Toups]

- Janice Ferri Esser last listed as Associate Head Writer on January 22

Lynsey Dufour took her place in the everyday credits as of January 23.

So now it goes:

Paula Cwikly

Natalie Minardi Slater

Lynsey Dufour

[aMLCproduction]

I love me some Paula Cwickly. Her year stint at DAYS with P. Brash was great!

[RavenWhitney]

I thought I saw Jeanne Ford's name back in the DOOL credits with the scriptwriters, on Jan 29th episode. Can anyone confirm.

CBS.com has updated YR credits again, taking out Josh McCaffrey and Bernie Lechowich (Latham fired her own husband!) and reordering the writers in the credits list, with Lyndsey DuFour with the senior writers and Janice Ferri as first in the list of scriptwriters.

[Mason]

LMAO!

[Toups]

The Canadian credits didn't have her listed, but Sofia Landon Geier was gone. Can someone who has the NBC credits confirm that Ford's name was added and Geier's not listed?

Bernard hasn't written a script in January. Wonder why he left.

[Chris B]

Strange that Bernie has left! He should be Latham's co-headwriter, not Hamner.
