Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 Claire Labine: I would like to tell you a story about a guy named Ron Carlivati. Ron is a lawyer and is a friend of a friend of our youngest son. Ron called me and said that he was a lawyer, but he wanted to write for a show called One Life to Live. I said send me some material and I would send it over to ABC. He did and I did. I got a call from him saying that the writers' assistant job was open, could I be of any help? I was quite ready to help 'cause his scripts were very good. So I called and said I understand you are hiring a writing assistant. So Ron was hired as the Writing Assistant on One Life to Live. So later I was hired as writer on One Life to Live and there was Ron. He was a wonderful, brilliant assistant and he kept on writing these scenes and handing them to me. But it was clear that he was a wonderful dialogue writer. This was written by Claire Labine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 Actually, I believe that's from an interview Claire gave years ago. I have the interview and Claire was asked a question about how one could get into the business as a writer, or something to that effect. She then went on to talk about Ron and how she helped him break into the business. Anyway, I'll take a wait and see approach as to how successful Carlivati will be on OLTL. IMO, he helped to enable a lot of the crap Highley was pushing. Now, if only they could get rid of that ass Frank Valentini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Q Steph Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 That's the best the hack has ever looked. She needs to be permanently X'd from ever destroying another show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 Love the avatar Jay! Higley was a staff writer at DAYS for what years? The becomes HW and is an utter disaster. Then comes to OLTL, and pretty much has been an utter disaster. The only time OLTL was really good under Higs was the first 6-7 months, when she had B&E script editing for her. At least in my opinion. Once the show became the Spencer Truman show and we had the Todd possibly murdering Mags and his own child story. And John McBain's death and the whole face in bandages crap. Nora in a coma for like 6 months...... God, bad bad and more bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted June 5, 2007 Members Share Posted June 5, 2007 That's a great story about how Ron Carlivati got into the business. To me it's definitely encouraging that Claire Labine liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 5, 2007 Members Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yes, there is a site about Ryan's Hope which has Claire's interviews, and that part was also copied in one of the Google Groups threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
