Yeah not much will change unless the power structure at ABC is severely altered, and that has nothing to do with B&E or any of the other writers at the 3 shows. That is why Kay Alden is now back at the rival network when she was so passionate about bring AMC back to its former glory. I still wanted her, I always wanted her. B&E are not a McTavish or Passanante... they are sort of a cross breed which means they could go either way. It will be interesting to say the least that is for sure.

Some are touting Carlavatti as OLTL's savior, we can't even say that either. Just because he has a history with the show doesn't mean much. I mean he might be great in one position, but might suck as HW. It's happened with other writers on soaps.

B&E, and Carlavatti, and even Guza basically have to Frons to contend with. Much wont change until he's gone

God, I miss Felicia Minei Behr and I wish she had some control over at ABCD again.

Remember when FMB called Jill Farren Phelps and Megan McTavish's stint on OLTL, "Completely unwatchable!"?

She cared a great deal about the soaps and especially AMC, a show where she had a long and successful history with. Oh, and it also helped that she grew to hate both McTavish and JFP. :lol:

I liked Francesca James as EP. She did a great job with the show even when it hit it's low! She had a vision, and that was for AMC to be on top. And it was in 1997! She did a wonderful job! I would also like Lorraine Broderick to come back! She was a great writer. it was charatcer-driven and it made sense!!!!!

Actually, AMC slipped in both quality and ratings when Francesca James was EP. Though, AMC really feel apart once they fired Lorraine Broderick. She was the last head-writer who knew to write the show successfully and intelligently. I've always felt like I've learnt something with Broderick's writing, I felt stupid after watching anything by McTavish.

Anyone know what happened to Wisner Washam? Many regard him as AMC's best head-writer, barring Agnes Nixon of course. He last served as a writer for GL in 93, a team where Lorraine Broderick served as a head-writer coincidentally.

I completely agree with all of what you said. Broderick was something special with Agnes still actually working as a storyline consultant. She is apparently still that but she actually was heavily involved at that time. Lorraine wrote compelling story and it was such a letdown when she was let go.

Francesca James I always say as several steps below FMB, but also several steps ahead of her two successors. Jean Burke was useless and Julie Hanan Carruthers is proving to be the same. I think alot of Francesca's flack comes from those supernatural stories that started popping up on AMC in the mid 90's. I always thought that was the network trying to steal back the fans DAYS snatched up because a year prior is when DAYS shot ahead of AMC in the ratings.
