Looking at the list once more - especially, the writers no one has heard of before now - I'm starting to wonder...

Is there any chance that RuAsRuAnAu and MAB are one and the same, lol?

LMAO, Khan! I'm crying here!

Now I actually like Amanda Beall, and I wish her luck at Y&R, but really, I don't think the show will fit her.

Yeah, 22 writers is beyond ridiculous.

As the other shows downsize their writing teams, Y&R expands...I guess to keep the daytime writer pool in tact.

It's funny, AMC fans (or most of them) here used to love Beall. Then all of a sudden ragging on her became the thing to do for some reason. What caused the shift?

All the AMC scriptwriters/breakdown have written very pro-Mama and Baby Doll.

All the AMC scriptwriters/breakdown writers have written Ryan as God.

All the AMC scriptwriters/breakdown writers contributed to the cluster*uck of hypocrites that was "Crash".

Beall was involved with some of (in fact most of) the better episodes from the past few years: Bianca finding out her baby had died, the 9/11-oriented episode in 2006 (remember those fantastic Erica & Kendall scenes?), the Valentine's Day episode of 2007, Jesse telling Little Jenny about Jenny, and others.

I don't know, I just don't get the absolute joy surrounding her departure, but I guess I'm the only one. All the writers have clunkers. I could find episodes Michelle Patrick wrote that sucked bad too.

I'll never forget, either, how Toups posted a mock 'proposed DAYS writing staff' that included even the ghosts of Bell, Palumbo and Falken Smith. Boy howdy, that was comedy, lol!

Well, this is just craziness. Two insiders posting away, and poor Toups is out in the cold, forced to do things right so his sources don't stop talking to him.

I guess that's the nature of the (journalist's) beast.
