Members Sylph Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 Jean is out, he's been riting the show for a few months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DevotedToAMC Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 I heard he was pretty much dictating story....it just has not yet been announced that she is gone I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 It hasn't been announced. They have to find a replacement first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted October 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 Ok, Cameron, but when something happens at ATWT, I'm going to be the one rolling my eyes. And I do recognize that I said Goutman in reference to the outs, but as Sylph said.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted October 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 And second of all, why the hell would I even start an ATWT thread, when I don't watch the show?? And it is not to give false hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 So Jean's out, eh? Every move is risky with switching HWs, but is my sincere hope that they at least hire from within this time around and let those who have history and experience with this show control and dictate the story. While ATWT still has a decent amount of recognizable cast members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 If anyone's wondering where I got the rumour, here's where (I have posted this already in TDAWT): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 And I believe the rumour is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 I hope they hire from without and let Goutman steer the writer toward history and character development. It would be nice to know what a total outsider like Hogan Sheffer could have done without Passanante being his chaperone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 Why can't someone from within do the same thing? Someone who has history with the writing staff and knows the show inside and out?! And I'm not talking about promoting a scripwriter without a bible not knowing his credentials. Some are just better at breakdowns and dialogue. But I believe that those who want the job who have an excellent, character driven vision for the soap shouldn't be overlooked by someone who has had no prior experience with the soap in question(or daytime). I'm not saying an outsider can't write for a soap opera, but with a new Head-Writer immediately comes the risk of things being worse off than they were already. And while you do speak of Hogan Sheffer, look what he has done to DAYS. Some people like what he's done, whereas the ratings and some of the vocal fanbase says otherwise. Same could be said about Dena Higley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RuAsRuAnAu Posted October 11, 2007 Members Share Posted October 11, 2007 Goutman burnt out last year; he needs to leave. As for Passanante, how did she HW so many shows? OLTL (best stint/don't think she'll ever top this- not saying much), AW, AMC, ATWT (worst stint to date). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
