There are types of Co. Hw's. There are Co's like like Brown and Esensten, and then there are Co heads like Kreizman and swajeski. with Kreizman and swajeski, she is co head writer UNDER Kreizman. He is the head writer of GL. Yes, this will be turned into something OLTL related. Ron C. was Co UNDER Dena. He was not her equal. It was not 50/50. Some people need to understand that. He was only put in that spot because Dena was getting canned, and a breakdown writer to head writer doesn't look so good. And Ron was Co head since Feb, but his work began in MAY!

It was the network who tried to say that Ron C. was the writer "under" Dena when it was quite obvious that she was on her way out. If you are promoted "under" then you're not really an equal. Think about it, with GH there was Guza & Pratt and with AMC it's Brown & Essensten. However on DAYS, Hogan Sheffer is given the "head writer" credit, even though he has a co-head writer in Meg Kelly. Jean Passasante (sp?) has two co-heads under her right now.

You know who's on equal footing (or lack of) by how they're referred by in the magazines.

Carlivati was a bad co-head writer. The last 4 months of Higley was sole HW were better than the 4 months of RC co-head writing. Carlivati is slightly better as a HW, than a co-HW. Does anyone personally Carlivati? If so, I'd like to know how strong he is- mentally speaking- because HW a 5 ep per week series is a very demanding job. Now that Anna Cascio is returning to OLTL, I hope she's promoted to head write alongside Ron very quickly. Also, have Carolyn Culliton as their co-HW. Cascio's input on AMC was very good, but she was unjustly fired.

Passanante's co-HW, Laiman & Whitesell, are/were just as awful as her. If they love Jean so much & don't wanna can her, have Susan Dansby or Richard Culliton write the show with her.

If Esensten & Brown remain, they need another writer to head write with them. That should be Karen Lewis.

If Robert Guza Jr. remains on GH, he desperately needs another writer to head write with him.

How do people feel about Natalie Minardi Slater being promoted to co-HW on Y&R? She's been on the show since 1998.

If Bradley Bell won't step down as HW, Patrick Mulcahey or Jim Houghton should be writing the show with him.

Swajeski has had her chance to co-HW GL with Kreizman, now get someone else.

Meg Kelly isn't cut out to be a co-HW, get someone else like Anne M. Schoettle.
