I noticed yesterday's script writer for DAYS was Co-HW Meg Kelly. This isn't the first time she has written a script.

Isn't it unusual for HW's or Co-HW's to write a script? Are there any other writers that do that?

[Andre]

I guess Meg had a vision for that episode and didn't want anyone else tainting it. She must be a Chick fan.

[Poloma S]

Meg was always a script writer before she became a co-HW, she may just want to occasionally step back in that every once and a while.

It's just like executive producers who like to direct episodes once in a while (Valentini, Goutman, Wheeler)

[Sylph]

They do that all the time. It just depends how lazy they are. Or how much time they've got.

[Toups]

Y&R:

- Janice Ferri Esser back as Script Writer on February 5

Also, Jim Houghton could be gone from B&B. He hasn't written a script since December 26.

[RavenWhitney]

cbs.com has ujpdated GL and ATWT writer info

ATWT

Gary Sunshine added

Judith Donato dropped probably going to DOOL

Grant Alexander added as director

GL

new directors added

BTW:

I believe Jim Houghton is gone from B&B

[RavenWhitney]

Tom Casiello gone from DOOL; I guess no contract for him.

[aMLCproduction]

I wonder what happemd

I find myswlf FF'ing the Belle and shwan scenes but i love Nick and Chelesea

[ClassicsSoapFan]

On DAYS,Hannah Shearer was gone today in the writing credits.

On ATWT,on again,off again writer Gary Sunshine has now been listed for the third consecutive show.So I would assume he is a permanent member of the staff.

There wasn't anyone new to replace Shearer.

[aMLCproduction]

why does days have so many writers. One would think they kould kut the budget by firing some of them writers?

[Toups]

I had a feeling she would be leaving since it was Beth Milstein who brought her over to DAYS.

[Sylph]

Marlandian six months haven't passed yet.

[Andre]

He was in today's (Feb. 20) credits.
