I noticed that. Can't remember he ever impressed me on Y&R, he definitely did not on his first B&B show. Although it was boring anyway, so let's see...

Still, I rather want Jim Houghton back!

Anthony Morina was listed as the director for today's episode of All My Children.

I guess he's left Y&R? That's strange because I think he was listed as the director also for Y&R today

[Sylph]

Maybe he is a freelancer.

Peter Brash's last episode at "Days" was on 2/27.

[PhoenixRising05]

Oh, that sucks.

I love Brash.

[aMLCproduction]

aww thas real sad. He was great when he wrote the show with Cwickly in 2002. Why does Days have so many writers any way? Kan some one please answer that for me?

[Toups]

Hogan and Meg's writing team is still in transition trying to find out who they can work well with. Bruce Neckles is suppose to be leaving too since he was on the list of writers who were fired.

The current writing team:

Hogan Sheffer

Meg Kelly

Beth Milstein

Frederick Johnson

Gordon Rayfield

Tom Casiello

Barbara Esesten

James Harmon Brown

Bruce Neckles

Jodie Scholz

Mike Cohen

Bettina F. Bradbury

Jeanne Marie Ford

[Andre]

You'd think that a group of 13 people (considered at least competent at what they do) could put their heads together and create something well-written and exciting. I just don't get it.

Toups,

I can't wait until you can type...

AMC

Megan McTavish last listed as Headwriter on....

That is going to be a magical day!

[Poloma S]

So now that Megan is out at AMC, any prediction which writers will be following her out the door?

The one we can predict with certainty...Courtney Bugler...who is Megan's neice.

Peter Brash was back in the credits today,3/1.

I remember Michael Slade was out and then he was back in and then gone so maybe he will be gone tomorrow.

On ATWT Gary Sunshine has been in and out for several weeks now.

[ClassicsSoapFan]

Bruce Neckles is gone as a DAYS SW.No replacement yet.

Brash was only back for one day.

[Adam]

Of the current Associate Headwriters (breakdown writers) I'd only get rid of Chip Hayes. AMC has a very strong writing team.

I'd though completely overhaul the script writing team. Joanna Cohen and Marla Kanelos at this point are the only ones worth keeping.

Rebecca Taylor, Courtney Bugler and Karen Lewis can all go as far as I am concerned.
