Corday is the longest serving EP, then Brad Bell, Chris Goutman has spent 9 years at ATWT. Jill's been at GH for over 7 years.

Forgot about Goutman and Corday.

Thanks!

Both of whom are long overdue for pink slips also. I always fear if JFP is let go from GH, Frons will swap her and JHC at AMC. :(

I say McTavish, Higley and Guza start their own soap with Ellen Wheeler and Chris Goutman as EP's, bring on Courtney Bulger, Amanda Beall and Elizabeth Korte as writers turn that into a hot mess of clustfeckery.

Some fans would love the hell out of all of that "plotness" ;)

Don't forget Rebecca Taylor and Marla Kanelos. :lol:

I doubt if Frons fires her at GH, she'd end up on another ABC soap.

Jill's done P&G soaps, ABC soaps, and SB for NBC. She probably has the most extensive profile of any current EP in daytime. The only thing left for her is a Sony/Bell soap, and since she knows Steve Kent, I fear they'll gladly fire Griffith for her if the opportunity arises.

Y&RWorldTurner, do you know what was Paul Rauch's time at fi]OLTL and Santa Barbara like?

Would we be in store for a serial killer and/or rapist and trim some of those lovely vets from the cast?

Hey know leave Amanda Beall alone please.

I love it when R Sinclair calls her Beall-zebub! :lol:

Lol, I like Amanda...but you can't deny she doesn't belong in that list.

I used to have "Friends for Amanda L. Beall" in my signature.....notice it's not there anymore ;)

No, not really, when I think about it...

I just think she should take a very long sabbatical or whatever... Never to be seen again.

What I hate is her authoritarianism and the need for total control, she just doesn't know how and when to stop!

In that way, she is similar to Rauch, although I believe Rauch used to be a much better producer (I mean his time with Lemay on AW).

As I said before, with Jill it depends with the writer that works on the shows she's EP of. She was obviously close to Charles Pratt at SB, and Nancy Curlee truly held her own at GL. It's when she has people like McTavish and other lower-level hacks working with her is the time one should worry.

Jill may be a control freak, but she does do certain production stuff well. If she's kept in balance and the writers are good, she's a great asset.

Sometimes I wonder if R Sinclair used to work with Amanda and she liked pissed in his cheerios or something. His dislike of that woman reigned (and still does) supreme!
