Members Jess Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 This may be posted somewhere else, and if so, I apologize. There is talk on the boards that someone has been promoted to co-headwriter on OLTL. Scotty, do you know anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allatwitter Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 In the new SOD Frank Valentini says Ron Carlivati has been promoted to co-headwriter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted February 15, 2007 Administrator Share Posted February 15, 2007 Good for Ron. I think he and Shelly Altman are the most senior (in terms of being on the staff the longest). He's paid his due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 If this is real, I am happy as hell. Not that I don't believe the OP, but can anyone confirm this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 Well I guess this could explain the change, but I expected Kay Alden. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for Higley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allatwitter Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 It's in the Feb. 27th issue of SOD if you want to confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tzelkos Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 Good for OLTL making this move. Wasn't it reported here last fall that at the very least McTavish would get a co-headwriter at AMC if November sweeps didn't do that poorly? She managed to avoid even that! Amazing.

Members SlezaksOLTL Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 Good for OLTL. Is this a good news thing or what does a Co-HW do? Do they also do lead stories or how does this work. Since he has been at OL for over 10 years will this help fix a few things in their inconsistancies of characters, and will he maybe write more for vets like Viki, Nora, Bo, etc? What is the thought is this good and will it help balance out the bad of Higley? I hope Viki (Erika Slezak) finally gets something with a new co-HW it is quite obvious Higley hates Viki.

Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 Co- HW's can very well write lead stories like the HW. Just put it like this, Ron is Co-HW which also makes Higley Co- HW so their powers are balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 I gotta say I've been tuning in to OLTL a bit more of late and there's an obvious change going on there. If it's Ron making the difference, good for him. I will say that what I've seen doesn't feel even a little bit like Higley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Andre Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 Dena used to be a senior writers on the DAYS staff when she was promoted. And it was a disaster. So experience really can be quite meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yes but she sucks and Ron doesnt. Period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 That's not necessarily true. Some people work best when part of a team (as in they aren't responsible for making big decisions). Jean Passanante sucks as a solo writer, but she was fine when she was part of Hogan's team. The moment she was promoted to Co-HW the show began to suck. We hope that Ron will do a good job. I hope this will be OLTL's way of phasing Higley out, and pairing Ron w/ Kay once she gets more familiar with the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 This is the first I have heard about it Jess, but it is certainly wonderful news! I am presently working on the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
