LMAO at Amanda Beall going to Y&R!! Maria sure is entertaining me with all these new hires!! Wait till R Sinclair finds out about that!

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

ROFL!!!! That is just too funny!!

I wonder what Pratt's going to do with the AMC team. This will definitely be interesting.

That's it! That's the post! :lol: :lol:

ETA: Thank you, Kubla Me (hee), that made my afternoon.

OMG! As if you reposted that, Kubla! LMAO!!! Ahh....Fun times.

So with Beall gone at AMC, any predictions on who will replace her?

Re: Toups' 27-man DAYS writing team - Best post ever, if you ask me.

Sad part? 1) Like Kubla said, we're dangerously close to that scenario now at Y&R, and 2) Even with every HW from the past 27 years at DAYS, they'd still find ways to "fack up the history", lol.

Is Jeff Beldner out of the question?

Watch out guys, next month Craig Heller will come out from wherever he is and write for Y&R!

I've never seen a show hire so many horrible writers in such a short time.

If anyone [else] goes to Y&R I think it would probably be a writer like Leslie Nipkow.

Ms. Beall is leaving AMC. She has accepted a position at Y&R.

oh.

hell.

no.

Ms. Beall is leaving AMC. She has accepted a position at Y&R.

Holy sh*t. So, we will have a different script writer for every day of the year! How fresh!

There MUST be a bloodletting in the works!

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

With bona fide soap writers being hired, maybe some of the sitcom writers etc. will be dumped.

In MY opinion, this is a shame. there has been some truly spectacular, funny dialogue since LML took over, and I would hate to lose that.

R Sinclair's gonna have a fit.

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

Kyle wouldn't it be Pratt since he just started on the 23rd? B&E should already be out the door ( )

Wait with all these writers leaving AMC is Pratt going to construct a new writing team?

As long as he keeps Kate Hall I'm fine with him constructing a new team......

Maybe they won't replace her? Haven't the other soaps that eliminated breakdowns also gotten rid of all associate headwriters? Maybe it will just be Pratt and the script writers.

Or maybe Brown & Esensten managed to get the staff writer positions at AMC they were apparently begging for!

LeClerc don't even joke about something like that, AMC is doomed if so, but really I don't see that happening

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.

I am one of the few who didn't think she was all that bad, believe me there were worse *coughBULGERcough*

Valentine's Day 2007 and the 9/11 episode of 2006 were great episodes!

As long as he keeps Kate Hall I'm fine with him constructing a new team......

Add Jeff Beldner and I agree with that.

The thing is Pratt doesn't have alot of friends he can bring on. Gary Tomlin very likely, especially since Carlivati probably wants to get rid of him. And SOD originally said Tomlin was also approached by Frons. The only other real Friend of Pratt is Frank South, who I believe moved to Hawaii with his wife to run a writing program for kids.

I'm actually happy about this news. While the 9/11 episode was really good, I thought the Valentine's Day 2007 episode was cheesetastic. A lot of Zen fans seem to like her but I've thought for quite some time that she is fair to midland at best. Zen were cute in that episode, but that is because I love the chemistry between Minshew and Kaye. I was embarrased for them that they had to say some of those lines.

IMO Beall loved Ryan Lavery the absolute best. What I remember the most of that Valentine's Day episode was the long ass montage with Ryan and Annie strolling the grounds of Wildwind and then having their first "roll in the hay" together. Ugh. And in true Beall fashion, the Zen scenes included a conversation about Ryan.
