Her name is always in the credits. She is Script Editor. Her name is listed every day in the last sequence of writer credits. It will probably be another month or so before her name is gone.

Oh at the end of the show? Because I just checked and it wasn't in the beginning on Monday ( which was the day I really disliked and felt like the dialogue was ectremely off as was the blocking and stage direction especially for Michael McBain) It was a writer that I had never heard of before. She threw me off but I already forgot her name LOL

OLTL's credits are listed as...

Created by

Agnes Nixon

Executive Producer

Frank Valentini

Written by

Ron Carlivati (HW)

Shelly Altman (BDW)

Janet Iacobuzio (BDW)

Chris Van Etten (BDW)

Victor Gialanella (BDW)

(Episode Script Writer)

Leslie Nipkow (Script Editor)

Hope this helps you to better understand the credit listings.

Some say that Gialanella & Higley are close friends, so if that's true, will Carlivati fire him, will he quit, or just stay put? How is he as a BDW, or a writer in general for that matter? I'm unfamiliar with Gialanella's work.

Whatever happened to Mark LaMura (Douglas Kline)? He was suppose to be an important recurring character, but he simply vanished after 2 episodes few months back.

I've given up on OLTL! This whole bbay thing is totally 1 sided. It's being written that Michael&Marcie are good and Todd is bad!

They are only doing this because it is the only way to get the audience to buy this sh!t. This case should not even see the inside of a courtroom.

And Rex's high and mightly attitude? Funny, he didn't feel that Todd was this monster when he took his case AND HIS MONEY. Rex changed only because he found out his friend had the kid. He then commits a crime, and no one has a problem with this?

Todd's NUMEROUS wrong doings does not validate Marcie and Michael's claim on that child. And Michael??? Who would want their kid raised by such a snatch? What kind of a man is he to stand there and allow everyone, BUT HIMSELF, to get their due? He is so opposite a man.

The only crumb the audience received was to watch John be suspended. That is all, and it was a very very very small crumb because Bozo was so regretful in doing his job... Moron!

This story sucks, and I just don't believe Marcie/Kathy could be any more annoying. It's just not possible - but we shall see!

I don't care for OLTL at all, but I wanted to see Rex get his. That won't be happening because of the way Rex is currently written. Ron is off to a loser start!

Oh give it two/three months, I'm sure when Marcie does something... it will erase all the evil that Todd has ever done; and he will be the "good" guy while ruining Marcie (and not Michael, that's long gone). Marcie's has some sympathy, but most of the people are mostly Todd's side, because of all that he's "suffered" for the son he tried to kill and didn't care about at first. Todd's suffering means nothing for me... he's getting paid back in those two years for all the mess he dished out and barely got punished for, so... <_<

Yep, Marcie and Tommy the only real innocent people here. John, Michael, and Rex were all somewhat wrong... and Todd stirred the pot up with Spencer.

It matters not what was brewing between Todd and Spencer. The only important fact is that Todd did NOT give up his son. He had been looking for him. He then enlists the help of a PI who got his license from the inside of a Captain Crunch box. Todd is then led to believe his child is dead while Michael knows he has physical custody of said child.

No matter what Todd has done in his past, he is not WRONG here. This is one of the few times the man is not wrong. Even if Michael did not know the truth, he and Marcie still have no legal leg on which to stand. Todd did not give his child up.

This story REEKS of bad writing, and the biggest clue is what is being done to Todd in order to sell it. I saw that

Todd offers cash to the McPains to get back his own child

. What kind of sh!t is that? It's only going to be used against him... Bad bad writing!

Victor G. was Higleys buddy from DAYS, and the writer who wrote Friday was Liz Page. She's new.

Ha-ha! :lol:  The worst ATWT dialogue writer! The worst! So glad she's gone from the World!

It was a writer that I had never heard of before. She threw me off but I already forgot her name LOL

So was it Liz that threw you off? :lol:

I don't care if Todd didn't give up the child... Blair didn't give hers up either, and he kinda did the same thing that Michael was doing (keeping a child from their bio parent). Todd is "evil," and he will always be "evil" because that's how he's written... but nine times out of ten, he ususally gets his way. And this won't be any different; because he will eventually get Tommy whether it's through the right channels or not, whether he should or not.
