2007 Writers Guild Nominations

Y&R and AMC especially have a long history of being nominated for writing awards. Neither show deserves it now, but on past reputation alone they're getting these nominations IMO. Very unfair....

Then again, I can't say any soap deserves any recognition for writing. Nothing on CBS, ABC, and NBC has been truly outstanding this year.

GH deserves this award for having the best script and breakdown writers in all of daytime. Guza and Korte might be idiots, but GH's writing team is outstanding, more so than its competition.

Oh, are you kidding? With fabulous Bugler gems like this:

Each grain of sand, individually, is very rough and hard and sharp and really not all that pretty. But when you put them all together, you get this beautiful beach, this beautiful, soft, smooth beach. So I guess what I'm trying to say is when things get crazy, we just got to put together the sand -- take our beach back. I love you, and I know that we're going to be able to stay on the shore. I know that no matter how rough the waters get, you just got to fight with me.

How can AMC go wrong?!

My head hurts from trying to untangle Bugler's beach analogy. Just what, pray tell, is she saying here? Is the speaker (Ryan?) attempting to compare his/her relationship to the beach, or to the water?

No nomination for BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Brad Bell/Kay Alden/Patrick Mulcharey: unfairly snubbed in favor of mediocrity! :huh:

Wow, I am a longtime lurker, and while I have read of the hot mess that is apparently Bulger's scripts, I have never actually seen any of it for myself. This is sooo very bad; so incredibly heavy handed.

Even worse, I'd bet it was in the breakdown, too.

"Take our beach back"? Are you kidding me!?

Whatever happened to, "I'm not giving up on us...and I won't let you give up on us, either"? I mean, what the hell does Ryan Lavery (and I'm assuming it's Ryan, 'cuz no one else would say something that idiotic) know about a metaphor, anyway?

See? Exactly! Exactly! That's one of the main things about that speech that makes no sense. Never mind that it's simply awkward and clumsy, and as ladybird said, "heavy handed" (don't get me started on when Bugler writes sexual innuendo), I still have no idea what it means!

    • So Pam didn't create her? I thought she had the whole of 87-88. I'll look around, thanks for the point in the right direction.

      date: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Samantha, accept the fact you were in the wrong and do not deserve your digital devices. Do not like it? Go upstairs. Read a book. Do some knitting. Bradley and Martin's "we get it" to Tyrell was hilarious and absolutely a parent's thing to do. Loving a bit of history of both the Duprees (via Eva) and the Hawthrones (via Izaiah). So cute. Poor June. I am sure she did not purposefully mean to mess up; we have all been there working in customer service. Shake it off and keep on keeping on! Not twice a week for Vernon's cobbler order... Sharon must be using that as payment for their meetings. I appreciate that Ted still cares about the Duprees despite the end of his marriage to Nicole. Not Dana using Peaches' crisis as a way of taking Ted's attention away from a co-worker. Girl, do not be so obvious. Bradley is a man after my own heart with a simply divine chocolate milkshake. That is the way to go. Dana really needs to dial it back. Money will not buy her everything she wants and she will realise it soon enough. And I doubt Shanice is scared off by her idle threats, either. "With all due respect, Ms Thomas, this isn't a shopping mall." Oh, Dr Wilkes just owned Dana's arrogant ass. I love it. Wigs and personas? Okay now, Shanice ate with that read. I like that June assured Bradley that she will not replace him or Martin in the twins' lives. And that blood does not make a parent. Words never rang more true. Jessica reading Samantha was amazing. Dana would want to involve Ted. Her obsession is crossing beyond dangerous boundaries. Not Dana catching Vernon leaving Sharon's room at the country club. That is not good. Not good at all! Notes: Ugh. Not another breakdown from writer2. This week was going so well. Thankfully, Paige is an outstanding scriptwriter (one of this soap's best), and her words today are excellent. The food at Orphey Gene's does look bomb, so I do not blame any of the characters for uptalking it. I would eat there daily if I could. And gain hundreds of pounds, too. David Lami Friebe (Izaiah) continues to make me sick watching him, but he is nice to listen to. I still really like having June as the central person hub at Orphey Gene's. That familiar face you see when you walk in and have scenes. Dana wanting a second opinion means we could have an incoming doctor, right...?

    • I am sure "no one cares" and it's not a big deal to some people, but this thread is full of certain posters calling out women's ages, their viability to have children at like 35, and their nail polish, but we celebrate everything Chandler Massey does and applaud any male shirtless scenes.  And then posters walk back being like it's just a joke and weren't serious lol.
    • I'm so glad she's still on the show. Seems like she may have dropped a hint about the real source of conflict between her and Dee, too. 
    • I don't know how reliable the information is, but from what I've read, he joined GH in 1977, and Alan (who started airing in September 1977) was one of his creations. That should have been enough time to get the show in better shape by the January 1978 episode we saw, but then again, shifting from a 30 minute to a 60 minute format is a big transition, one that requires a lot of filler scenes like Monica having a long flashback to a scene that must have only played out a few weeks earlier. 
    • I agree. She said, "I do," and then decided, "I don't." I wish Nikki Abbott had been a longer duration. I wholly prefer Nikki with Jack than I ever have with Victor, and today's episode proved that. And I never minded Ashley with Victor.
    • That one really bothered me. The chemistry was still very much there and then she married Jack and immediately ran off to find Victor. It was such a slap in the face to anyone that was a fan of the pairing.
