All My Children - Claire Labine, Matthew Labine & her daughter (sorry forgot her name)

ATWT: Gary Tomlin (also to produce), Meg Bennett & Michelle Poteet Lisanti

Y&R: Peter Brash, Paula Cwikley, & Beth Milstein

GL: Sofia Landon Geir, Gillian Spencer, & Millee Taggart with Roger Newman & Fran Myers on staff

OLTL: Harding Lemay

B&B: I know many will say NO way, but I think David Kreizman would do good here with a co-writer like Donna Swajeski. With a better budget both could do wonders I think.

GH: Jerome & Bridget Dobson - would love to see Bridget come to the show her parents created and give their take on it

Days: I know it could never be the same due to the budget but I would love for Margaret DePreist & Sherri Anderson to come back and work their magic

I love that. I may do soemthing like that too when I have time. I just listed some choices and not scriptwriters. I wish they would put Don Hastings back on as a scriptwriter. I always thought he was good back in the day and he was trained by Irna.

Y&R: Claire Labine or [s.W.S.N.B.N.] - Claire Labine is my top choice for just about any soap based on her Ryan's Hope work. Her shows are brilliantly paced with complex characters, heavy drama, romance, comedy and realism. Seeing how she flawlessly blended the social classes on Ryan's Hope, I know she'd be perfect for Y&R.

ATWT: [s.W.S.N.B.N.] - I know after all the scandal she caused she definitely will never be hired in soaps, but I did love her ideas. Being at a middle class family soap like ATWT would be the perfect fit for her. I can see her uniting the families, bringing back social issues and especially veterans.

B&B: Hogan Sheffer - I'd love to see his comedic style on a soap like B&B. He'd probably be able to maintain the glamour/camp with a good dose of heavy drama, like on ATWT. Plus he's against incest, which would be a plus.

There we go :lol:

Anyway, I won't list all the shows but I will do Days and Passions:

Days

B&C (I love Sheffer but I love these two just as much. Maybe have Hogan paired with one of them and have the other be like an associate or something)

Passions

I will just say anyone but JER. I used to think he was the only one who could write the show but now it's such a mess anyone would be better then him.

    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
