It's a guess, and the guess doesn't come from rain1 not posting in the last few days. I just hope I'm wrong...

I would miss rain1 a lot.

But maybe he/she will post with a different identity in a different place....Rain1 knows so much, I wish he/she would have a blog to keep us up to date.

I already feel the drought.

Oooooooooooooooh. Good one!

To push the trope to its limits, I'd say that SON without rain1 risks becoming Atacama.

A bit of a scoop:

Thom Racina said on In The Zone that he's friends with Anthony Morina and Sally Sussman Morina. He said he had dinner with them one night, and Anthony told him Y&R was looking for new writers, to "change things up."

So, this seems like the beginning of Y&R getting and firing writers...

He also said Y&R was in a bit of a crunch, so he had to write two scripts last week. So, I guess Y&R is losing some scriptwriters/breakdown writers.

Can't wait for Toups' scoops tomorrow. ;)

He also said Y&R's gonna be sensational in August and the fall. He said he thinks the fans will be happy. We'll have to wait and see...

He also said the scripts are getting longer and there's so much story. I guess we can finally expect longer scenes on Y&R soon, something I've wanted for a while.

He mentioned something about Hogan writing some sort of story last week and then Scott Hamner (yuck!) adding his notes and then he had to produce a script. He said there was so much story to tell and the scripts got longer than he expected them to be.

That sounds interesting, but I hope Scott Hamner is fired soon. He mentioned Hamner does some sort of coordination between the script writers.

Hopefully he is one of the 7 Toups will be announcing tomorrow :D

I so desperately want to get back into Y&R.... and more and more stuff is coming out of the woodwork to incline myself to do so.

I think Hamner is here to stay considering he's giving interviews still. I cringed when Thom mentioned his name. Other than that, he seems promising. I just hope that one new writer is a Bell writer. Just one.

He was Latham's Co-Head Writer last year and responsible for a lot of the crappy stories and pacing we got. The Carmen Mesta crap being one of those stories.

Scott Hamner has been a failure on just about every show he's written. Knots Landing, Port Charles, Y&R, etc. He is LML's right hand man. I personally enjoy his season of Knots Landing, but it's probably the second most hated among fans. Then on Port Charles he took over after LML was fired and apparently was just a total mess. Based on his history he didn't even deserve to be hired, IMO.
