All of them, the industry is so imbred and short on ideas causing daytime to bleed viewers like Heroes.

OK, this could take awhile, and some people (mainly Toups who knows me) might be surprised by my answers.

I actually won't list Reilly, although I think he destroyed DAYS, and even Passions would have been better off had he left--it might have been saved. I'm leaving Reilly off the list because I would actually like to see what he could do with OLTL. He might be what they need, especially with Velentini there to keep him in-line, and a more normal team of sub-writers. But definitely ban Reilly from NBC daytime forever. Which shouldn't be too long, since thanks to him there won't be any soaps left on NBC pretty soon.

I won't list Hogan either, although he's destroyed DAYS. If CBS goes ahead and cancels ATWT and GL then Chris Goutman will be free to return to AMC. I suspect that cancellation will happen, and I suspect that Goutman will get the job offer from ABC. At that point I think that Goutman and Scheffer should be reunited at AMC. It's possible that AMC is the right show for Scheffer--I can see some of the stuff he does on DAYS being more popular over there. It is somewhat of a show about seduction.

JFP is a producer but I'd like to see her banned. She completely destroyed AW (with more then a little help from NBC daytime VP Susan Lee). And let's also ban the worst of her HWs over there, Tom King and Craig Carlson.

I'm not sure why Elizabeth Korte was suggested by someone. I thing that she and MVJ give great dialouge. Maura Penders too, I don't know why she isn't working.

I can't quite bring myself to ban Guza, but I will call for him to be dismissed from GH. When Guza is on, boy is he on. He really does have his moments. But he has done incredible damage to GH, and the show needs to re-create itself. I'd actually be curious to see what SSM could do with GH. And definitely get Wendy Riche back as EP.

I don't see what's so bad about LML. But I admit I don't know her work too well.

Tom Langan, Peter Brash, Paula Cwikly and Dena Higley all get banned for life. Maybe I'll give Brash a reprieve, since in some matters he just didn't know any better. Paula did...she was just a vindictive person. So were TL and Dena. (I hope you all saw my "promo" post, LOL).

As for Brad Bell.....N/A. B&B is his show. To ban him is to ban the show.

You're right to some degree about being surprised, Steve.

As far as OLTL is concerned, I see Frank Valentini as a channel/enforcer for Brian Frons. All any ABC HW can do is work within the "airtime for favourites" framework.

I see Valentini as a FRONS enforcer. JER as HW? No. Just no. The last thing OLTL needs now is supernatural intervention, dictated by BF, hand-held by FV, and written by JER.

Ron Carlivati as HW has shown potential with a more traditional approach. Of course, with the strike, all bets are off.

Keep posting, glad to have you among us! I may disagree with you but I value your opinion.

Thanks, TC, I'll try to stick around. I'm enjoying my reunion with Toups....if only he'd take part in it more.

I was part of the old group of posters from Channa's board. Those were great times, especially when the story reached its climax and Channa was exposed. I still remember that night. Hey, Toups, do you remember "Andre, ex-reporter?"

Maybe I'm wrong about OLTL, I just started watching the show recently. I mainly watch (occasionally) to see Starr Manning. I just adore that girl.

With Goutman on any ABC-D, they are just begging for that show to be cancelled. AMC & OLTL are already hanging by a thread (2.1 and 2.3 million viewers, respectively). Sheffer needs to return to ATWT.

I'm not sure why Elizabeth Korte was suggested by someone. I thing that she and MVJ give great dialouge.

They are also known as Guza's Angels.

I can't quite bring myself to ban Guza, but I will call for him to be dismissed from GH. When Guza is on, boy is he on. He really does have his moments.

What is your opinion on Meg Bennett?

Paula Cwikly...get banned for life.

What is so bad about Cwikly? Her tenure at Y&R was good. She should return to ATWT.

Paula did...she was just a vindictive person.

What did Cwikly do that was so vindictive? Was it the same thing as Jeanne Marie Ford with James E. Reilly? Ford's still working, after all.

As for Brad Bell.....N/A. B&B is his show. To ban him is to ban the show.

I would gladly do the honors. Who do I have to be in contact with? Bloom? Bill Bell Jr.? Lee P. Bell?
