Is it possible Chuck Pratt might bring breakdowns back to AMC?

And does anyone know if GH is still doing breakdowns? I thought OLTL was the only ABC soap still doing them but in a recent interview Tom Casiello praised OLTL and GH for not eliminating the position. Maybe that was a mistake.

I do not look forward to Pratt's headwriting but I do look forward to better dialogue for AMC. Michael Cinquemani is probably safe since he worked at GH for most of Pratt's run. Other than that the only person worth keeping is Kate Hall. Hopefully Pratt will recognize her talent but I can see him getting rid of everyone he doesn't know.

GH still has breakdowns. Dave Goldschmid is a breakdown writer, and he's still there. (He doesn't write scripts like Conforti or Wolf sometimes do)

Y&R also has breakdowns. Those are the only three.

I hear Guza stood up for his breakdown writers though. ABC wanted to can them.

They're not really breakdowns, from what I understand. Since it's only a half-hour show, they just crank out notes on each act. I guess you can call it a breakdown, but it's not the official breakdown process that exist(ed) at other shows. It's a lot looser.

Or not. Who knows what's changed in the last few months?
