Members Vee Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Kobe Beef is not a scriptwriter at OLTL. Please find a new baseless rumor to perpetuate for "buzz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 I did, however, hear that the Beef has submitted a bible for a revival of "Love Of Life" starring the surviving members of the Reeve family and Tudi Wiggins, in which a holographic projection of Chris Reeve continues the role of "Ben" using old dialogue audio and cutting edge technology. Casting is contingent on the networks accepting the Beef's bold new plans and her demand that Jacquie Courtney be allowed on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 I think he's saying that soaps should air two or three days a week during the strike. I think that would be smart, to stretch out the episodes they have. If they have to use scab writers, I'd like them to have time to find and train people who won't completely screw things up. I recall reading that during the 1981 strike, an actor in the cast became headwriter to avoid his character being killed off. Does anybody want Ronn Moss writing B&B? Austin Peck at ATWT? Not me. Besides, don't the CBS soaps do well on the weeks when they air three episodes due to the sports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted November 8, 2007 Administrator Share Posted November 8, 2007 Latest from Nikki Finke: http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- It's getting ugly!!!! I really admire the showrunners sticking together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 It HAS to get uglier before it gets better... the sooner the networks and studios see that EVERYONE is banding together on this, and they're going to have to face the same issues or else lose all the actors in May (and THAT'S what really scares the bejeezus out of them), the sooner this strike will END.

Members jacks Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 Brian, I agree with your earlier post about the GL writer who probably doesn't even know what anniversary his show is celebrating. it's everywhere, in the opening, the findyourlight.net ads on the mainstreet theater entrance so it's shocking one of the people behind the scenes would say that, consciously or subconsciously. Also, I found this quote from an article from craveonline http://www.craveonline.com/articles/filmtv...a_long_one.html "Daytime TV, including live talk shows and soap operas, will soon feel the impact as well. Without writers, who will come up with today’s cutting-edge soap opera content? We may have a long wait before we find out whose evil twin brother is sleeping with the alien-possessed millionaire heiress wife of the murderous chief of police on “Days of Our Restless Hospital ”. Something needs to be done. " Cutting edge? Does this author even know the current state of the genre? Also I wonder why so many articles are for once talking about soap operas and how they will "be the next casualty" without acknowledging what the industry did last time with the scabs. i guess we will see if history repeats itself again.

Members dragonflies Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 Someone posted this at Soap Central: Some are speculating Frons has gotten McTavish to scab for AMC........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TC Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thank you Jacks. I had to laugh at the "cutting edge" part. They (reporters) are either completely out of their league with this topic, or they just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCGio83 Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 You know, a much as I hate Mcterrible, she never drove AMC to a 1.9 in the ratings. Her scabbing might not be the worst thing She's definately better than what we have now (cries at the bitter irony). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 Geezs, why don't think just cancel AMC and get it over with? If this is indeed true... I haven't noticed a change between McTavish and B&E's pile of crap at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 Is Mctavish NOT in the Guild? She's written AMC off/on for years, I would assume she has to be. If she isn't and she is back scabbing, I can't believe Frons and Carruthers would make such a stupid move even if it is so something they would do. I mean really, do they expect ratings to rise? B&E may be bad, but honestly I can barely see a difference from them than the stuff Mctavish wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 Well there's some difference Erica's not the cartoon she was under McTrash. McTrash never had all time lows like this either. From what I read at SOC, McTavish isn't doing nothing but sitting at home on her arse LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
