Members juppiter Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm pro-JFP. Loved her OLTL and GL stints (didn't see her SB stint, but my mother watched SB at the time and said it was good.) Honestly her GH stint has been the worst of her career, but I agree with the above that she is simply not a good match for GH. I don't think she'd be right for Y&R, but would love to see her replace Goutman on ATWT. I think she could do wonders for the show. However, she is apparently on P&G's "never hire again" [!@#$%^&*] list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 If JFP had a successful time w/ GL, it was only b/c of Nancy Curlee's, and Patrick Mulcahey's, writing. Once those two quit the show, the show went to Hell in a pastel-colored handbasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jane1978 Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 I don´t know. I don´t think Corday has much to say anymore. It´s obviously Sony who makes the decisions because they desperately want DAYS to survive. I seriously doubt Corday would ever fire Steve Wyman, yet he is gone. And Ed Scott hiring seems to be a crystal clear example of crysis management. I really think if Sony wanted to get rid of Sheffer he would be let go already no matter the costs, the same like Wyman and most of his rightmen. But Ed Scott and his crew are already in full control and it doesn´t look like he has any trouble with Sheffer. The show is slowly emerging again and the transition period is ending. I would hate if had to endure another writer change and I think it would mean the show´s suicide so I believe/hope you are wrong. Btw. are you sure Reilly is still on the paylist? I thought his contract ended five months after he´d been fired, that´s why he stood in the credits so long. Just wanted to add I really loved the Tom Casiello post. I love when writers are passionate over their work. All strikers have my full support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 Didn't Ed Scott replace Steve Wyman? I'm going to assume he's inheriting his duties, but that Corday still has the same power. I highly doubt Scott would've hired Dena Higley, considering her track record and the fact that they've never worked together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Scott would've hired Dena Higley, considering her track record and the fact that they've never worked together. Corday obviously didn´t have the power when he was forced to hire Reilly again. Nor had the power to fire him till the things got unbeliavable ugly. And all interviews and behind the scene looks lately, everybody is talking about Ed Scott and his producers and their involvement in the stories. Not Corday. Besides, we still don´t know what the deal with Highley is except the fact she worked on DAYS for 20 years under many headwriters and never had any trouble to cooperate. So I think as Sheffer´s helper and someone who oversee the writing room she could be very effective, especially if the reports are true and Sheffer is not the everyday working and everything controlling kind of writer and he let Meg Kelly do all the dailly and less creative stuff.

Members Chris B Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 Leting Higley do the daily work would be a nightmare. Also, you must consider that recently when an existing headwriter gets a new Co-Head, it usually meants the old one is out. Even if Hogan isn't out, Higley can't be an asset in any form and I still don't believe for a second that Ed Scott brought her on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StephanieLover17 Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 they better not fire Hogan Sheffer, he is the best HW in the business. I am loving all of Sheffer's story, come on replacing Sheffer with Higly is suicidal. Higly is his CO-HW. Days will not get rid of Mr Hogan Sheffer. I think this year 2007 was just a settling stone for him. To end the vendetta and start something new. etc Sheffer is the best HW days had since the first run of Reilly. Sheffer isn't going anywhere. When that contract of Reilly is up and Corday and just focus on Sheffer. That means when the contract of reilly is up, more Vets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 22, 2007 Administrator Share Posted November 22, 2007 Sony/NBC can suggest what they want, but ultimately, Ken Corday has final say on everything and yeah, sometime he gives in to the pressure by Sony/NBC. You're right on this one. I hear they get along fine. Yeah, I was told (months ago) Reilly's still on the payroll. Bingo. Yeah he was forced by NBC to hire Reilly but what was Corday going to do? Reilly and a new contract were a package deal. NBC wanted Reilly and Corday gave in/took the deal. It took Corday/Wyman 3 years to finally convince NBC to fire Reilly, but I'm pretty sure Reilly was happy to go. He was still going to get paid and he didn't have to deal with Dumb and Dumber anymore. Lucky guy! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think so too, but I do think Pissante will be gone though. I do shudder at the thought that Frons will use this as a way to bring back McTrash bag to AMC If Frons was smart he'd get rid of Guza too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 The thing about Higley is that, although she as solo HW was a disaster, she was part of a very successful part of DAYS history. As long as she doesn't become solo HW again, her being back at DAYS could be a great thing for the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 I agree that B&E and LML will not be back after the strike... but I think Passanante will stay unless ATWT strikes gold with scabs. Remember that in 2005, Hogan Sheffer was supposed to come back from his 17 week sabbatical, but didn't when viewers preferred Passanante's work. I can't see Guza going anywhere. Passanante, Kreizman, Bell (obviously), Sheffer, Carlivati, and Guza are all safe IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 I dont think getting rid of Guza would be smart - getting him a co-HW would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 The people who should be head writer's are already on GH's writing staff - Karen Harris and Michele Val Jean. Both have had co-head writing stints in the past and both know GH's history and what makes the show click. If Guza gets fired and those two were promoted as co-head writers, I'd be all for it and I think GH would be much better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 Just thinking about it makes me happy. I hope the shows will recover as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
