Where is Y&R getting all this money from to keep all of these writers employed? Damn...

It's usually the bad head-writers with the big writing teams anyway.

Maybe they'll have a massive firing later in the year... Yeah, right... Maybe in a dream world.

Taaaa Daa

Looking at the list once more - especially, the writers no one has heard of before now - I'm starting to wonder...

Is there any chance that RuAsRuAnAu and MAB are one and the same, lol?

LMAO, Khan! I'm crying here!

Now I actually like Amanda Beall, and I wish her luck at Y&R, but really, I don't think the show will fit her.

Yeah, 22 writers is beyond ridiculous.

As the other shows downsize their writing teams, Y&R expands...I guess to keep the daytime writer pool in tact.

Oh yeah with all these writers going from AMC are B&E responsible or Pratt?

(If its Pratt I will have a bit more confidence because the bad writers are leaving!)

Cinquemani was on trial basis and AMC didn't pick him up.

I believe Amanda left on her own to join Y&R. I can't see JHC firing Amanda.

It's funny, AMC fans (or most of them) here used to love Beall. Then all of a sudden ragging on her became the thing to do for some reason. What caused the shift?

All the AMC scriptwriters/breakdown have written very pro-Mama and Baby Doll.

All the AMC scriptwriters/breakdown writers have written Ryan as God.

All the AMC scriptwriters/breakdown writers contributed to the cluster*uck of hypocrites that was "Crash".

Beall was involved with some of (in fact most of) the better episodes from the past few years: Bianca finding out her baby had died, the 9/11-oriented episode in 2006 (remember those fantastic Erica & Kendall scenes?), the Valentine's Day episode of 2007, Jesse telling Little Jenny about Jenny, and others.

I don't know, I just don't get the absolute joy surrounding her departure, but I guess I'm the only one. All the writers have clunkers. I could find episodes Michelle Patrick wrote that sucked bad too.

Good news for AMC, horrible news for Y&R. Why the frack do they need 22 writers? I mean seriously, come on MAB.

Nice to see a different perspective - with back up too. I guess people tend to forget her good episodes.

This reminds me of a RuAsRu 'proposed AMC writing team' post from last September, lol.

Toups then goes on to reply:

23 people on your writing team? Is AMC expanding to 3 hours?

LOL! Oh Toups, if only we knew then that Maria Arena Bell would duplicate that ridiculousness!

I think we'll soon find out who's leaving Y&R. The team can't stay this big.

Oh Toups, if only we knew then that Maria Arena Bell would duplicate that ridiculousness!

I'll never forget, either, how Toups posted a mock 'proposed DAYS writing staff' that included even the ghosts of Bell, Palumbo and Falken Smith. Boy howdy, that was comedy, lol!

If Jeff Beldner leaves AMC, or Pratt fires him, AMC is so screwed. There's nobody left from the 80s, and Jeff is the only one who was around during the 90s.

LMAO!

Well, this is just craziness. Two insiders posting away, and poor Toups is out in the cold, forced to do things right so his sources don't stop talking to him.

I guess that's the nature of the (journalist's) beast.
