"PASSIONS (final airdate in September) creator and headwriter JAMES E. REILLY has been named as the latest headwriter of ABC's 'All My Children' as Brian Frons announces the pending departure of current headwriter, Megan McTavish."

That's my own quote, not the real deal.

It could happen. It really could happen. Brian Frons is youth-oriented... JER will be unemployed soon with the cancellation of Passions. It could happen.

I should ban you for even thinking that's a possibility, lol. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! GREAT NEWS! I can go back to watching AMC again if the headwriter is someone good. Why not have Amanda and Kay as co-headwriters? They could work well together. The last thing AMC needs is Kay as a sole headwriter telling some sperm storyline like she did on Y&R.

I am very happy for everyone that watches AMC, now if we can just get this kind of announcement from CBS about ATWT it would be a great day for soaps.

It's Christmas in February!!!

I thought I'd just be relieved when this news finally arrived - but I am happy!

Doing a Snoopy-style happy-dance at work can be embarassing ....

And check out the veteran cast member quote in SOD online!

here

"We know the show is bad. Morale is low. We don't know why they were keeping her if she couldn't turn it around."

BWAH!

I'd say promote Amanda and Jeff and pair them Kay Alden to have a three person head writing team. It could work.

Unless he and Frons see eye to eye on everything....

Frons would LOVE to have JER on ABC Daytime, IMO.

I don't want to see three people as head writer...I prefer it be Amanda Beall and Jeff Beldner as co head writers although I would not mind Amanda and Kay as co head writers either

Gonna get my two cents in before the board crashes again...

I'm happy about this news, but WHO WILL TAKE OUT THE TRASH? Lord knows, we don't need another Ellen Weston, James Lipton, Jimmy Reilly, Tom Langan, Margaret DePriest, Scott Hamner, et. al. Let's hope Frons realizes this, puts a toy in his behind and takes his "hip, trendy gone wrong" defeat like a man.

Whoever gets installed as Head Writer of AMC has to know or at least research the RICH history of this show, develop those characters, make this show the multi-generational, realistic soap it can still be.

Ryan, Mods, I'm very sorry, and I know this is against the rules, and I'm very sorry (Okay, not so much) but please, still just excuse me for a minute while I:

OH MY [!@#$%^&*] GOD!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

OH MY [!@#$%^&*] GOD!

He'd most likely want to dump JER on OLTL, since that's seems to be their experiement soap, it's also always been ABC's most out-there soap in terms of storytelling.

However, JER and McTavrish need not work on daytime ever again!

Just now catching up. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Drew's shooter is Suzanne. She sure would anything for Alexis. How did she get the gun, you ask. Haven't gotten that far yet.

Erika Kirk, oops, I mean Hayley Hamilton looked so rattled at the client that was in Bill's office. Could be someone who was in on a scam with her at one time or maybe a relative of one of her victims.

Knots Landing

Joshua descent into madness and eventual death was painful to watch. That storyline and Empire Valley becoming a mess caused Knots Landing to tank for me.

Right?! It's so wild to me. It almost seems like they are afraid to fire people, or just blind to the understimulating. RAFE, Cat, EJ, Johnny, Chanel, Stephanie, Alex, Leo, Javi, Tate, Holly and did I say RAFE. They should have all been shipped out the second the former head writer was given the boot. Most of these characters were front and center in some of the worst writing this show has ever had. Why would the show runners think the audience would want to continue seeing them? A lot existed before RC of course, but honestly the writing they received was equally horrid.
Just imagine in 2006 when they fired JER if they had immediately brought back Alex North and Stan/Sami and put them in front burner stories. This is kinda where we are at currently I feel. We need different characters. New couples. There are so many others who could be on screen right now. Paul, Andrew, Mike, Chloe, countless other Brady and Hortons. Bring back the Alamain family as a new villainy family. Bring anyone back at this point really lol It just doesn't make sense why were stuck with this bunch of duds.
