Members RavenWhitney Posted April 23, 2007 Members Share Posted April 23, 2007 Why hasn't ABC made a formal announcement about McTavish's replacement? It seems very odd that after all the months of fan unrest, rumor and gossip that ABC would want to let their fans know who will steer the show. It would also show some respect to the writers taking over the mess McTavish left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 23, 2007 Members Share Posted April 23, 2007 I read at another board that they said they haven't found the right person yet. Honestly take as long as they need. I'd rather them not rush and we get another hack just as bad or worse than McTrash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted April 23, 2007 Members Share Posted April 23, 2007 Maybe they are giving McTavish her "much needed" cooling off before they add her again. You knows how much Frons loves her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Josh Posted April 24, 2007 Members Share Posted April 24, 2007 AMC has been SO good lately though...I find it hard to believe MT is writing it! I mean I am watching AMC on soapnet instead of Dancing with the Stars, it's pretty good!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted April 24, 2007 Members Share Posted April 24, 2007 It could be an OLTL situation during the late 90s when they had no head writer for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 24, 2007 Members Share Posted April 24, 2007 Gee, maybe they didn't approve of the new writers' plan for "a holographic Phoebe Wallingford made from old clips using a revolutionary new filming process." Sorry, people, old joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted April 24, 2007 Members Share Posted April 24, 2007 Reminds me of DAYS' Tom Horton holographic floating head during the Serial Killer storyline. Oy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Addison Montgomery Posted April 24, 2007 Members Share Posted April 24, 2007 It's not unusual for networks to take time to announce a new headwriter, however. McTavish was fired in April 1995. Lorraine Broderick was not announced as new HW until August of that year, Agnes wrote by herself in the interim. Jean Passanante leaves at the end of May 2001, Richard Culliton not announced as taking over until a month later. Culliton fired early October 2002, Rayfield/Cascio don't begin writing as HWs until January 2003. Addie Walsh et. al. interim head write ATWT when Black/Stern are fired, and when Jessica Klein is fired. There was a 3-4 month break between Jessica Klein and Broderick's material. And I could go on.
