2008: The Directors and Writers Thread

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Yes, HORRIBLE! AW was Rauch's only real success story. He got lost in campy excess at OLTL, SB, and GL. In fact, he was SB's last EP and the one many consider to have done the most damage to the show.

Then she just sucks, doesn't she? All she needs to destroy a show is a bad writer.

I think the point is quite the opposite, actually: the EP should do everything in his/her power to make a show better when the writing sucks.

And she isn't doing it. And never did it.

You mean she does belong there with all the hacks?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I think if one side sucks, then that side needs to be fired. As I said before, from a production stand point, Jill is great. I also know of many writers that adore her, including Harding LeMay, who called her the most intelligent producer he's ever worked with.

I may put it back. I just need some time. AMC's team was severely letting me down a few months ago, that's why I removed it

[Sylph]

I disagree, kind of. In this case, she needs to be gone and recharge her batteries! But she certainly knows good sets and music!

I remember that! He said how she knows how to point out to all the plot holes and non sequiturs etc.

I think the whole problem was when you have hacks that just have no freakin vision it weighs the best of them down.

[Ryan]

I agree with you 100%. I think one of the rare exceptions is Karen Harris and Michele Val Jean. With those two you know you're in store for a good episode.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

and Guza's writers are so damn loyal to him......MVJ and KH should have left GH long ago.

[Ryan]

I mean "you can't deny she belongs on that list."

[Sylph]

God forbid! No one leaves! Except Guza!

I'd even keep Korte, but I would demote her. If MVJ cannot be the next HW, then let her be the next SE.

That's what I said. Didn't I?

[Ryan]

Just wanted to correct my mistake

:angry: :angry: If I had an arrow....I'd definitely use it.

[Sylph]

I'm glad you started posting in this particular thread again.

But as a SW, what can she do? Nothing! Just write dialogue! She's not bad at that!

Harding LeMay's exact quote on Jill:

Is THAT why you keep adding fuel? :-)

[Sylph]

Specifically meaning...?
