...and that's all for me.

Hogan Sheffer. And he should have to give back his Emmys from ATWT for his crimes against DOOL.

I don't know anything about writers, but I know I was totally disappointed with GL after DK was there for about a year. I have since come to despise him.

Bob Guza for one, the man is so in love with Sonny and Jason that no one not directly connected to them has no real story. I'd much rather watch Mac have a storyline then another same old thing from Sonny. Even though I adore Liason, I would much rather see some other couples really get screentime like Scrubs.

JERk because the man just doesn't seem to understand human beings at all. It's the same thing over and over again. I will say that DOOL has gotten so much better imo since he left.

Dena Higley, I don't think I ever want to see another mystery on OLTL for at least 5 years. No murders that take forever to wrap up. I can not wait until her stuff is off the air.

Bob Guza: GH used to be about a hospital...now its mob mob mob. Boring boring boring! Plus he seems to hate vets, especially the women (take a bow Jackie Zeman!)

Lynn Marie Latham/Bernard Lechowick/Scott Hamner: the three amigos have taken a plot driven wrecking ball to Y&R and for that they deserve to never type out a page of dialog again. Really, Latham and Co. are hands down the worst because they've so blatantly decimated Y&R and in such a short period of time.

Most crap writers (JER, Passante, B&E, Kreizman, hell even Higley and McTavish) at least had a month or two of "hmm this show might be turning around, [insert show name here] is getting good again!" before WHAMO they'd destroyed the show. But with LML and her band of hacks I knew instantly when Kay Alden had left the building and the show hasn't been the same since.

Jean Passanante

Bradley Bell

Others

Scott Hamner (if he goes, won't mind & if he stays, won't mind)

Charles Pratt Jr. should only be a consultant or SW

Don't Fire

Y&R: Lynn Marie Latham & Robert Guza Jr. need a strong group of writers to help them out. LML & RGJ can be a co-HW, AHW or BDW.

Should Only Be Writing Scripts

Meg Kelly; David Kreizman; Donna M. Swajeski; Lynsey DuFour; Marina Alburger; Christopher Whitesell

I wouldn't ban LML from daytime. She could write some great scripts if she was given that position but she shouldn't be in a headwriter role.

JER I would ban. He does not have the ability to write anything compelling in soap form these days. I think he would do some great, trashy work if he was given a mini-series to come up with or a telenovela but not continuing drama.

Scott Hamner is someone whose work I've never really enjoyed in daytime or primetime. His stories are flat and his scripts are usually boring.

All of them.

After his comments on "Soap Star" last night, let me reiterate, HOGAN SHEFFER. I can't tell you how livid I was after hearing him say that he wanted to keep one actor who he thought he was a better actor and would rather write for, but "knew" that his audience would want the eye candy guy instead so they sent home the better actor.

NO SHEFFER. We want good actors first of all. We think this show already has enough Ken dolls, thank you very much.

I think writers who should not be writing are, Brad Bell(he can consult though), Jean P., McT, JER, and Hogan Sheffer

How about all the head writers currently employed?

Hogan Sheffer. And he should have to give back his Emmys from ATWT for his crimes against DOOL.

How would you know? ATWT was great when Hogan was HW. All of the actors shined and it was THOSE years that hooked me to the show. You need Jean Passanante on Days. Then you'll know what bad writing is. *sigh * I wish Hogan would come back to ATWT.

As for me, Jean Passanante and JER should be banned from Daytime writing. They destroy everything they touch.

Hogan was good because he head a good team with him - Carolyn Culliton and the male writers who MADD fired. He is only as good as his consultants.

Megan McTavish. I wouldn't wish her on any soap, hell any show.

Bob Guza. The man needs to just bone Jason, get it out of his system and move on, or give up his job. Either way, something needs to change.

Guza Jr. He sucks!
