Um, I'm sorry, were you WATCHING General Homicide, Psychic Espionage, and(more recently) Carmen Mesta's Murder? Because he mucked up all those stories with his lamebrained plot twist and beyond terrible story execution. Hamner SUCKS as a writer for daytime TV and that's that.

Margaret DePriest I'll give you, but Scott Hamner? No [!@#$%^&*] way, girlfriend!

LoL! I'm not wishing him on anyone. I am getting a laugh out of this though -- it's about time AMC kicked her ass to the curb! I think it's great for the show and its fans. I'm happy for them all!

I'm just speculating on possible replacements, though. JER will be unemployed soon... it's a logical possibility. He actually might not be that bad on AMC. Despite idiotic storylines, he does focus on the right characters when he headwrites without bringing in a cast of newbies. And without total freedom (he certainly wouldn't have it on ABC, IMO) he wouldn't go too far with crazy storylines like he does on Passions. If it were to really happen though, I hope that AMC has a great cast of scriptwriters, because he's certainly not a character writer... good scriptwriters could help that, though. When he's tweaked a bit, JER can be a fantastic writer.

Maybe the new headwriter is [s.W.S.N.B.N.]. ;)

Milli Vanilli's mom? No ma'am!

All she will do is have Erica Kane kidnapped by Bin Laden every 6 months and involve Ryan and every other male character on the show in a DL storyline. She'll make all the character's diva !@#$%^&*]es to the max.

Not to mention there will be a new library set with every single book being "Diary of a Lost Girl." Gotta sell them books, sister!

THANK YOU!

I knew I wasn't going completely crazy and needed to be shipped off to the funny farm. From what I can tell, I too think ratings are up. That's what SON reported last week.

Oh,Frons, this makes ABSOLUTELY no sense.

ARe you trying to sabotage this great show by getting rid of the woman whose incredible Satin Slayer story has SAVED the show?!

I'm just shocked by the first post. What did Errol mean when he said 'affiliates are getting involved?' Why would affiliates care whether The McTavish was writing this show or not? I just don't get that!

Although I LOVED his last quote, where he said ABC higher-ups would focus on daytime like they did the news division to bring ratings up. I hope ABC STICKS it to NBC for canceling "Passions," PROVES that soaps are still profitable and highly watched and entertaining, and that that fifth hour of "Today" DIES IN THE WATER. .2 Nielsen, anyone?!!!!

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside.
