2008: The Directors and Writers Thread

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

Victor IS friends with Dena. I remember an interview with him that came out right after she was fired actually and she was featured in this interview, and she was referred to as Gialanella's longtime friend Dena Higley.

I know! But it's so irrelevant! Or is it? 

BTW, no one replied to your Ford question. 

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

It is irrelevant. We all know that Victor G. is to Dena what Victor Miller was to Mctavish....lol. DAYS John Newman is OLTL's Fran Meyers( ) son....should we throw that out there too?

Yeah I know....those sons of bitches!! We'll see what happens.

This thread is amazing. So much info.

And I <3 you Chris B.

[Sylph]

Wait until Toups' next entry. Funny stuff is going on behind the scenes...

[Ryan]

Such as? I'm curious now.

[PAsoapfan]

Me to very curious lol

[brimike]

I'm curious what's going to happen to ALL of the fi-core script writers at OLTL once their cycles are up. I'm sure they worked out some kind of deal with ABC to protect their jobs, but it can't be forever... can it?

[Sylph]

I have no idea, I'm just teasing!

Especially with that WGA suit...

[Ryan]

You know, with all these changes going on at the soaps....I really cannot figure out how Guza remains employed. Like honestly, this is something that I just cannot figure out.

ABC has gone through 2 sets of writing changes on OLTL (from Malone to Higley, from Higley to Carlivati) and AMC (from McTavish to B&E, from B&E to Pratt), yet Guza remains at the helm and is ruining GH. What kind of mindscrew (I'm watching my language, lol) is that?

[Sylph]

I think Toups alluded to the possible change of his status not so long ago. I'm probably mistaken, but who knows, who knows...

[Ryan]

Anything think Richard Culliton will come to OLTL to work with his wife (I think that Carolyn is his wife)? I know some AMC fans didn't like him when he wrote for AMC, but I think a Richard Culliton/Karen Harris team writing for GH will be good.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I don't see Guza going anywhere for a while, sadly...

If only there was someone there that Guza hated. He quit GH before when he and Wendy Riche were at war during his second stint.

[Ryan]

Well I know there is a lot of friction right now between JFP and Guza. And according to what I was told by my source (which in the past has been correct), the writers strike probably saved Guza. I was also told that given the way things are at GH, Jill may go before Guza. I'm not very happy either way. A good EP with a hack writer still makes for a clusterscrew for the show.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Richard and Karen wrote GH after Guza left the first time. Let's just say that Tony Geary wasn't a happy camper... LOL!

I don't see him back at GH. As for OLTL, I don't know, Richard is one of the best scriptwriters out there, but with all soaps downsizing who knows what will happen.
