I think it's hilarious how they're firing and hiring everyone on that writing team and Passanante is safe.

I think we'll hear an announcement soon. :)  I just hope they fire Kreizman along with Passanante. Won't happen, though.

I thought Tom Casiello was at DAYS.

He is, it was wishful thinking on my part. :) That man jumps so much, I think he will be back at OLTL. I know nothing. Dont take me seriously. :)

This is excessive info. We know that! ;):P

So why did he? Why did I have to tell him? :) I do know some things sometimes too.

Gotcha, Jay, thanks.

Thing is...? I'd MUCH rather see Casiello back at ATWT, or even replacing Tita Bell or Christopher Dunn at GL.

Screw ATWT! :angry: They have good writers. We DONT. I told Ryan the other night, OLTL's writers all for the most part, OLD Hacks. Fran Meyers, Michelle Poteet Lisanti, have past their prime. Mark Christopher, no need to explain my beef with him.

I'd like LML to re-hire Casiello. Y&R is lacking in BDW (3) & SW (1). I bet that more ex-GL writers will turn up on Y&R.

Christopher is such a bad writer that I will not be watching any eps written by him. Not one. I don't care if the previous ep was really good or something major will happen on that ep, simply won't watch. Some say he's Higley's hubby, so does that mean he'll be fired sometime soon? I can't see Carlivati keeping him on board.

My biggest gripe with OLTL's writing staff is that they don't even have ONE SW who's out of this world. Lucky GH is 5 of 5 (Val Jean, Price, Wald, Thomson & Harris), while OLTL is 0 for 6. What OLTL has are typical daytime SW. Daytime needs much more Val Jeans & Prices. They should all enroll in the Michele Val Jean School of Scriptwriting. She writes like nobody's bizness.

Anyone notice the decline in quality of Cherie Bennett & Jeff Gottesfeld's scripts on Y&R? They used to be very good- in fact, Y&R's best SW. When's Friewald retiring? The man was born in the 1930s, maybe even 1920s.

Will ex-2007 Y&R writers join B&B? Sara A. Bibel? Chris Abbott?

Paula Cwikly to DOOL? I don't see Cwikly returning to ATWT. (She quit ATWT, right?)

The Y&R Son: Vincent Lechowick (formerly known as Vincent Latham Lechowick) should NOT be writing solo scripts. Pair him with his father, Bernard. Anyone notice how bad LeBlanc's lines were in Vincent's 1st outing as a solo SW? YIKES! His 2nd solo script was slightly better than his 1st. Aren't Latham & Lechowick teaching him how to master scriptwriting?

Surprised to see Michael Montgomery as a SW. Why wasn't he writing scripts all along. Did Smith & Alden have something against him?

Anyone notice a decline in all of Y&R's SW since May 2007? Could it be they're all suffering from burnout? Or could it be Lynn Maire Latham-titis? I must say that the scripts have improved since August 2007.

From what I understand, Casello is thrilled to be at Days. He did an interview about HS in SOD a while back, and the vibe I got was that he was very happy to be in Salem.

Look, regarding Mark Christopher, it is my understanding that Dena Higley has a BIG beef with both Frons and Carlivati, yes I said Carlivati and not Valentini. I cannot see Ron keeping Mark around. Mark hasn't written a script in a few days. Maybe he's gone now. Who knows?
