Anyway, they should let me write ATWT.

With that cute face of yours how can I say no.

Goutman, Laiman (who was the head writer) and Jean (Laiman's co-head writer) just have the distinction of being the last creative team behind the show.

I think the same team is writing ATWT: Jean, Leah and Chris. Leah is probably the most senior writer, friend of Chris and Jean, she's about to have some input in the stories... I don't know what is Courtney doing on that team...

My Dream ATWT Writing Team:

Head Writer: Claire Labine

Co-Head Writers: Eleanor and Matthew Labine *

Associate Head Writers: Susan Dansby and Karen Harris

Writers: Chuck & Patti DiZenzo, Nancy Ford and Courtney Simon

* Yeah, I know: I don't particularly care for her kids, either. But, I'm pretty sure, the Labines are like a package deal. If you want one (in this case, Claire), you have to take them all.

Well, since we're going THERE, lol.

What happened to Patti Dizenzo and Nancy Ford? They use to write scripts under Marland. They just seemed to vanished.

If Claire's recent writing stints on OLTL and GL are any indication of her work, I don't want her writing for any soap again. LOL!

It's amazing how a woman who wrote greatness for RH and GH could come up with so much crap for OLTL and GL.

Bump!

No way do I want Claire Labine anywhere near this show! She certainly did a job on GL! Of course, she, MADD, and Paul Rauch all hated each other, but she's certainly had enough time (7 years!) to do a tell all interview and blame her horrible writing at GL on them.

I am sold on Nancy Curlee. Either her or combined Co-HW team of Carolyn and Richard Culltion.

Nancy Curlee's husband, Stepehen Demorest, does have some history writing for ATWT. Perhaps, if they were paired together (like they were on GL), good things could come ATWT's way.

Of course, assuming, Curlee ever comes back to the industry.

I would take them as a paired Co-head writing team too!

I doubt Stephen would come back to ATWT.

Yeah, I know MADD is long gone.

Well Passanante admits to reading wikipedia, so this thread is now linked from the Jean Passanante wikipedia article.

HA! So bad.

The DiZenzos are enjoying their retirements, IIRC. I do know that Felicia Minei Behr fired DiZenzo but I don't think she wants to come back anyway.

Toups, any news?

I want JP out but who knows how much a new HW will even help if Goutman is still there. Frankly, I think ATWT needs an overhaul.

I completely agree! I does no good to get rid of the hack unless you get rid of the other hack, cause the problem is still there even if Passante is gone

I agree Goutman needs to go too. He took way too long to make changes. If it took him this long to realize there was a problem at ATWT he has no clue what ATWT is all about.
