I hear that Mr. Cinquemani is out and Ms. Thomson is Mr. Pratt's first hire at AMC.

Interesting! I thought maybe Cinquemani would stay because he knew Pratt at GH, but he also left when Pratt was there......

Surprised Tracey would leave a secure job at GH! I wonder who's going to be taking her place, unless Conforti and Wolf will start to write more scripts.

Thanks, Rain!

No, it should still say their names after the ampersand. It doesn't anymore?

Well the last one listed was Cheryl Davis....so I dont know...

Yes, I am surprised, too! Probably she was offered a better deal. It would be interesting to see if she gets replaced by, say, Michelle Patrick?

If the rumour is true, Michelle left to get away from Guza - they apparently fought over something.

Cr*p. I knew it, I just constructed this fantasy in my head. So far, he hasn't hired any bad dialogue writers, so I'm hoping the replacement will be a good one.

Sylph, why are you so keen on having a perfect writing team for GH if the rest of the storylines suck? Wouldn't that talent be better appreciated on a soap that has a good storyline?

Because that's what makes me tune in. That team has to remain intact! Or get better, if that's possible because it's perfect now (minus Guza). Not only does it have all the right people, the work is distributed the way it should be. And the structure of the team is exemplary (3 + 1 + 5).

As Old Salieri would say: Displace one note and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase, and the structure would fall.

Tracey leaving GH will not make some some Scrubs fans happy. According to them, she is the "ONLY" writer to write Scrubs well. Apparently Karen Harris hates Scrubs because she writes Leyla well

Well, that's just the silliest thing I've ever heard.

Dena writes good story.

Oh, wait. That is.

Wow, I would have thought Cinquemani was the safest of the bunch at AMC.

Chip Hayes may in trouble. Here's a bit on the lawsuit he filed against Spelling when he was fired from Melrose Place. I'm assuming Pratt sided with Spelling (and against Hayes) given his long relationship with the company:

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/4616/lat0418.html

NEXT, ON "MELROSE PLACE": The former producer of the canceled Monday night soaper "Melrose Place" is seeking $10 million from Spelling Television, claiming he was wrongfully fired and made a scapegoat for an underling's sexual harassment case.

Chip Hayes, formally known as James W. Hayes III, also is seeking $974,000--his payment for the 1998 season.

Hayes' suit says he was fired a year ago, allegedly for "failing to exercise proper supervisorial judgment" on the set during the 1997 season. One of the show's assistant directors, according to court papers, claimed that a production manager had brought Internet porn onto the set and created a "hostile work environment."

"At no time," the suit states, was Hayes advised that it was his responsibility to enforce any Spelling sexual harassment policy, "or that violation of that policy by one of his subordinates would be grounds for termination." When Hayes signed his contract in 1992, Spelling didn't even have a sexual harassment policy, the suit says.

The suit by entertainment attorney Barry B. Langberg alleges that Spelling violated Hayes' privacy by breaking into his locked office and snooping through his computer files the day before he was canned. It also contends that Spelling defamed Hayes by saying he had blown the production budget.

Hayes has JHC to protect him but maybe Pratt has full control on who stays, who goes?

Wow!

Internet porn on the set? LOL

Toups or rain did Michelle Patrick and Pratt get along (work wise)

Internet porn on the set?

And on the set of "Melrose Place," at that, lol!

Who the f-u-c-k is Marc Parent? And Why the f-u-c-k did Maria hire YET ANOTHER writer? I don't care if its's for a trial basis or not, she ends up keeping them there anyway, when the show can get by with less writers than it already has. Why aren't ANY of Latham's cronies being fired? Does anything make sense there these days? I get that Maria is another Latham, who is probably hiring all her friends with NO daytime experience AT ALL. That woman is infuriating. You have over 21 writers and you keep on adding more, WTF?

Milstein to script editor, interesting. Didn't she start there on a trial basis too? I guess that means a permanent job position with Maria.

And colour me shocked that Tracey Thompson would leave GH for AMC
