Members Juliajms Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 All I know is Y&R is much better (imo) than AMC or GH is. The writing is much more balanced. Vet's aren't used as much on Y&R as they used to be, but Kay, Jill, Victor and Nikki are getting a lot better treatment then Alan, Bobby, Opal or Palmer. Women are rarely baby obsessed on Y&R and the under 5 crowd hasn't over taken the show. Anyway, CBS seems to be considering bringing Dexter to their line up because of the strike. Isn't that crazy? I hope they have a master dubber and editor around to make that happen. It is an awesome show though. It just belongs on cable.I think they would do better bringing The Tudors over if they are that desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 I think LML might work out well at GH. Y&R and CBS are clearly not her speed. But who knows? She can't be any worse than Guza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 5, 2007 Members Share Posted December 5, 2007 Anyone(Toups maybe?) know when the scab writer's stuff starts airing on AMC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 ^ In addition, could someone possibly make a list of when the scab writers material starts on all the soaps? I know that the dates are probably spread somewhere in this thread, but I don't feel like searching through 49 pages. I only know that the scab material starts after Christmas on Y&R, but that's it.

Members dragonflies Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 Yeah if it's not too much trouble, could someone do that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 6, 2007 Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2007 I think there's different stages to the scab/fi-core writer's material. 1. When the scripts end 2. When the unedited scripts end 3. When the breakdowns end; breakdowns are usually weeks ahead of scripts 4. When the Head Writer's stories end So when we say "material" we have those options. Now I have no idea how it's going to work credits wise. Will script writers be credited until the edited-scripts finish or until the unedited-scripts finish? Will we see the script writer's names disappear before the breakdown writers? Will the HW be listed until his/her material ends? Anyone remember how the credits worked in 1988? As a person who keeps track of the credits, you know I'm very curious to see how all this will work out credits wise. I'm going to have to do a lot of updating for the database!

Members juppiter Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 When the strike AWs showed in 2004, I don't necessarily remember the process of names disappearing from the credits, but I do remember that the first episode Lemay was credited for was obviously still a scab episode. There's all kinds of legal stuff that goes on meaning that credits will not necessarily reflect who wrote what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 6, 2007 Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2007 More writers on Fi-Core: Fran Myers (OLTL - Script Writer) Garin Wolf (GH - Breakdown Writer) Pete T. Rich (PSNS - Script Writer) More info on Gary Tomlin and Josh Griffith: Tomlin is interim Head Writer at OLTL Griffith is interim Head Writer at Y&R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 So, I take it Garin Wolf will be interim Head Writer for GH? Why?! I'm quite surprised Wolf and Pete T. Rich went FiCore. I wonder if Tomlin and Griffith will still be employed as writer's once the strike is over. FiCore really kills Griffith and Tomlin's writing careers though, and I can't imagine Guza keeping Wolf once he's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 6, 2007 Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2007 That would be my guess. Tomlin can direct or produce, so going on fi-core isn't really going to hurt him. He's probably only writing as a favor to Valentini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 Delicious news. Hopefully the rumblings are true, I need them to be. The only thing I'm a bit concerned about is who will replace her. Please CBS/Bell/Sony I'm begging you, Kay Alden, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 More on the LMLrumor is good news, IMO. I don't think the story would've been picked up by so many publications if it weren't true. All Sony/CBS have to do is watch the show and see how boring and downright ridiculous the writing is.
