And I think it's the right way. I think there's some WGA regulaton that states you must write a writer's name in the credits. Or something like that. And why (and how) would someone jump from writers' assistant to BDW in a blink?

No.

Two separate issues.

Loved Kate Hall's writing yesterday, and loved last week with AMC's more dramatic writers, Joanna Cohen (writing 3 scripts) and Kate Hall (writing her debut script) writing the dialog. Someone mentioned Beall possibly leaving the building, and I said something along the lines of Amanda Beall just taking time off to learn how to write drama instead of sitcom (her annoying overuse of one liners undercutting every single scene) because she hadn't written a breakdown OR script at all last week. I was just taking a shot at Beall.

Then as I typed that sentence last night, I had a premonition that today would be a Beall day because I recall seeing a lot of bitchiness in the previews (which Beelzebub is notorious for).

Sure enough, I called it. Right on the money, I called it!

I not not think so. ;)

Well Kate writing is so much better the Beall's! Beall's a lot different from Kate

Yesterday's show with Kate as SW was a great episode. The Tad/Joe/Jamie scenes were great! But today is so much different

OK, I'm confused about how GL listed their writers from the 90-94 era, when Curlee/Demorest/Reilly/Broderick were a head-writing team. I stumbled upon a clip from 92, Curlee wasn't credited for this particular episode, but Broderick, Reilly, and Demorest were the first three credited. There's a scene proceeding the credit, with great dialogue btw! That's one thing I've always admired about Broderick in particular, she always infuses great dialogue into her writing.

Yep, the blackout was so JER, but it worked very well. GL will never again have the writing staff they had from 90-94. I mean having people like Wisner Washman, Trent Jones, Patrick Mulchaey, Michael Conforti, ect all supporting Curlee/Demorest/Reilly/Broderick was nothing but luck and a stroke of genius. Damn, GL was so lucky back then. Even storylines that seemed out of the ordinary could be spun into gold, with a writing staff like that.

I'd even go as far as to say GL was better written than it's sister-soap, ATWT, during this time, even if Marland is a soap writing god.
