AMC: New Head Writer(s)

[Y&RWorldTurner]

No, I wouldn't wish Carruthers on any other show. She's clearly not cut out to be an EP. She works best when she's a Supervising Producer, like she was on both Santa Barbara and GH. Some might like her PC EP stint, but really, that show was never truly good to begin with, who really had high expectations for it?

[Angela]

She was at Susan Lucci's surprise birthday party for her husband a month or two ago. She's close by, in retirement but close by.

She had almost a good 2 years where she did not hit or tie any lows for AMC, which is more than you can say for the interim writers or the Grim Reapers. That's not me condoning bringing her back, I don't. I'd say her best period of ratings was early 2005, which IMO was steam from the last week of the babyswitch.

Riche would be fantastic at AMC. We know she can handle social storylines and can deliver the goods producing great drama.

I personally think the staff writers get blamed way too much. I mean look at who they wrote under - McTavish and B&E! You can only do so much when you have horrible HWs. They're not miracle workers. LOL

[Khan]

Oh, so, AMC improves, while ATWT, w/ Carruthers at the helm, sinks further into oblivion? I don't think so, lol.

I've already thrown out my suggestion (Patrick Mulcahey) for HW. For EP, though, I think I'd like to see someone who hasn't worked in daytime before, but who has experience producing and/or directing quality entertainment (preferably, for the theater). Someone who knows how to collaborate with their writers, and who isn't trying to be the next David O. Selznick. After all, even Wendy Riche started out in primetime, did she not?

[Khan]

Oh, God, the blessed baby-switch. The storyline even Stephen "If I Weren't a Writer, I'd Be a Serial Killer" King thought was so gosh-darn amazing.

You know, if I never hear about that hot mess of a drama again, it will be too soon.

[Faulkner]

Kick Ms. Beall to the curb. Her writing tics are annoying as hell IMO. I'm with R Sinclair on this one. But I'd love to see Lorraine Broderick back. I could deal with Wendy Riche or maybe Chris Goutman as EP, but only if ABC tried and failed to lock down Felicia Minei Behr.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

You mean like Linda Gottlieb? She was mainly a producer of movies and television before she was hired as EP of OLTL in 91. I think she'd be great at AMC as well, but I already know you hated her OLTL stint with Malone. LOL!

I think Wendy Riche started out as TV Movie producer, but she's LA based, so I don't think she'd go to the NYC for AMC.

[Khan]

Yeah...unfortunately.

Indeed, I did, lol. I realize it's anathema (sp?) to say you don't care for early-'90's OLTL, but I don't. Never have, never will. Of course, much of daytime today makes the AIDS Quilt/Homophobia story look like "Angels in America," but, you know, I just felt like Linda Gottlieb never understood what OLTL was about.

OTOH, there are probably a lot of talented producers and directors who work outside of daytime, but who could be just the breath of fresh air that's needed to keep this genre alive and thriving.

LMAO!!

[DaytimeFan]

Y&RWorldturner & Khan: I'm in as well.

Anyways, my ideal AMC HW is Lorraine Broderick with Felicia Minei Behr as EP. I'm also one of those who didn't mind Francesca James's run. AMC really needs a strong EP because the show has gone through a number of writers and the one consistent aspect of the basic hell that AMC has become is Julie Hanan Carruthers. That being said, as long as Brian Frons is around the ABC soaps are screwed.

Broderick, Curlee, Demorest and Reilly are HW's; Mulcahey, Walsh, Washam and Whitesell handle the breakdowns; and the rest can participate in a sort of weekly script lottery, where one of the co-heads drops all their names into a hopper and picks out five at random. Innovative, no?
