Interesting, since Karen was instrumental in getting Megan fired in '95.

Well, what you're saying is even more interesting.

This post is where I got my Karen info from:

I'm pretty sure Karen Lewis left on her own.

From what I had heard, she was going to *retire* in the summer of '05, but Megan McTavish convinced her to stay for a while longer and she signed a new deal.

I'm assuming her contract expired this August and she decided to leave then.

She wrote faithfully for daytime since 1985 (with one break between her ATWT and second AMC stint from 00-01). From what I know, she was indepedently wealthy before she even started writing for soaps. She worked hard, and I think she should enjoy her retirement!

Wasn't she around for both of Megan's AMC's stints in the 90's? Didn't she join Broderick at ATWT in 1999 and didn't stay there for very long?

Ohhh....Rain1 is a dirt disher......Hmm......Do you know the Bettina Bradbury/Dena OLTL story? It's not really dirt but it's pretty funny that makes Dena look like an idiot. Can you spill that?

Yeah, she was Lorraine's script editor, and she stayed on under Leah/Carolyn as well.

She was let go when HS took over, for Courtney Simon. So that was summer of 2000.

Toups!! No torture! Spill it!

I can't believe you pretended you didn't know!

I know nothing.

Two questions, if you can answer them Toupsy.

1. Is there any buzz about Pratt getting a Co-HW at AMC? You know, like someone who is actually familiar with the show...

2. Is Hogan suppose to be a strong Co-HW at Y&R, like Pratt and Guza were to one another at GH, or a weak Co-HW like what Donna Swajeski is to David Kreizman at GL?

Yes, please answer this one... if you can... 'Cause I've about had it up to my eyeballs with all of these damn "Oh, yeah! Agnes is TOTALLY writing the show! Yup! Uh huh! She sure is! No, Pratt is writing now! He Soooooo is! B&E are totally out! I know they are! I just know! Yup! Sure do! There's a picture of Norman Lear about eight blocks away from the AMC studios! He's being tapped to write the show and replace B&E! It's SO OBVIOUS that's what's happening!" bullcrap.

If I may.....I have already said that I do not hate Chuck Pratt, but I do have a small problem with him being HW of AMC. No history with the show.. That is not good...that is not good.

I haven't heard anything yet.

I don't know yet.

Maybe Rain1 knows?

Thanks Toupsy, I hope we'll find out soon.

I think Hogan will be about equal, why waste money otherwise? Plus, Scott Hamner was a true Co-HW and since it's the same people, maybe they're following the same lead.

rain1, if you know, please let us know.

Thanks Toups and rain

And personally I'm sick of stuff like this. You have proof she's NOT writing for the show, then show it, otherwise don't continue to knock people who believe this. There is NO proof she's writing for the show and there's NO proof she's NOT writing for the show either

I wonder when Hamner's contract at Y&R ends. Since he was demoted from Co-Hw to AHW, I don't see him sticking around too long. Plus, he's one of Latham's BFF's, I can't see Maria being as close to him as Latham was.
