Jean Passanante needs to be let go from ATWT. Her writing is so dull and boring. Anyways Jean Passnante's celebrated six years with ATWT last month. She started as co-head writer in September 2001 and was co-head writer until May 2005. She replaced Hogan Sheffer in May and has been head writer for close to two and half years. Can anyone believe this woman has lasted as long as she has? The funny thing about Jean Passanante is she has always had a job for about 16 years in daytime. She started her career at OLTL in 1991 in various positions and was promoted to co-head writer at one point. She left OLTL in 1998 to go to AW to finish it's last year out. Then she was with AMC for about two years from 1999-2001. Now she has been at ATWT for six years. Goutman loves her apparently but IMO it is time to make a change. Can anyone believe this woman has lasted this long on ATWT? Six years is a long time.

It's a travesty. Save for a few golden moments (Carjack's breakup, Jennifer's Death, Nuke) she has been a total disaster. HATE HER!

Lets not forget the decisions she made while Co-HW like killing Bryant Montgomery. Only god knows what other story decisions she made under Hogan.

I loved the storyline of Bryant's death. It was extremely well done, and I wasn't sad to see him go. He was nothing but a spoiled little brat. Mary Beth Evans was heartbreaking during the scenes where Sierra found out.

6 years of lackluster half-assed plot writing.

Six years of slowly destroying a once great show

I liked Bryant's death too. A good tearjerker. Instead of having Craig mount Meg to get her pregnant, he should have found Johnny by now and resolved 3 years of plotting. But nooooo, we must have MORE babies.

The aftermath was great of course. MBE and HB were excellent. I liked Bryant and Todd Rotondi and it seemed to me the show was trading him in for that awful Billy character and his portrayer.

Ugh I know. JP must be a dried up old hag who lives vicariously as through the fictional mothers of Oakdale. Cut the crap and adopt if your biological clock is ticking like a time bomb, and spare us the annoyances of the upteenth pregnancy of the month!

YOu gotta LOVE JPiss.

Six years of crap!

Wouldn't the news release sound so much better saying Passanante is replaced, 2 weeks after celebrating her 6th year??

Congratulations, Jean!!

I've mostly enjoyed her writing...but thats just me.

Anyways congrats to her.

The bashing Jean stuff is getting old. I've enjoyed many of her stories: the baby-switch, the Carly/Jack break-up, Lucinda losing her company because of Lily, Noah/Luke, the death of Jennifer, etc. I'd take her in a minute over that hack Hogan, who gave us "Bonnie In Scotland", the Dahlia "mystery", Pilar, Margo/Doc Reese, Teens On The Run, and his crowning achievement, Celia and Rafael.
