Administrator Toups Posted July 9, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted July 9, 2008 34 people reading this thread? Damn, they really want to know, eh. LOL Well, the thing is....I can only reveal 6 right now. The other 1, I'll have to wait a little longer. I'm pretty sure this comes as no surprise to many people: Y&R - Valerie Ahern & Christian McLaughlin OUT - Darin Goldberg & Shelley Meals OUT - Cherie Bennett & Jeff Gottesfeld OUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 So long bitches!* *although when it comes to Bennett and Gottesfeld I must say I'm sympathetic. When I got in contact with them they seemed like genuine people interested in the show...but whatever...they were LML hires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 FINALLY! This almost makes up for the news that Amanda Beall is joining the show. I'm with you, but there's no room to be sympathetic. Let them all kick rocks. Thanks for the scoop Toups! I'm feeling more positive about Y&R every minute.

Members nell17 Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 I really want to know. LOL Edited: I forgot to say thanks for the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 So presumably 7 FOL are officially gone. Thank the high heavens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 I hope that one will be Scott Hamner. Most are scriptwriters, as I suspected. I guess this is just the begining of Y&R reshaping it's writing team? I assume more will come and go by the end of the summer. I'm also hoping for better breakdown writers too. James Stanley is another Latham cronie that needs to GO! Thanks for the scoops, Toupsy! And at Cherie Bennett & Jeff Gottesfeld being fired. I remember how they were the first ones back from the strike and how they made a fuss about their "friends" being fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XxTaraXx Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks, Toups. The other 1 is still from Y&R though, right? I think so many people wanna know bc they are unhappy with their shows....unless they are an OLTL fan lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 Even with Y&R's writing team now knocked down to 15 writers, they still need a smaller staff. I'm hoping for at least 10-12 writers at the end of it all, but I know it's probably not likely. HAHA, I just love how all of Latham's cronies are being fired. Makes me feel warm inside.

Administrator Toups Posted July 9, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yup. Maria and Josh waited until their cycles were done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 Cool, DAYS should've done the same instead of wasting money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 9, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted July 9, 2008 There's only two LML writers left: Scott Hamner and James Stanley. Will they both go? Or one? Or they'll stay? We'll see! Well....Corday is the EP.....he doesn't know how to manage his budget (ie: paying for 4 head writers at once). Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 Please let it be Hamner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 It will be Stanley. For whatever reason, they are valuing Hamner's work (spokesperson, apparently writing coordinator). I was right on the other 6 (I realize it didn't take a genius), so let me go for 100% Thank you very much, Toups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm afraid you're going to be right. Hamner, for some effing reason, is still there. But at least he was demoted. I like James Stanley's work outside of Y&R...I wouldn't be upset to see him go. But HAMNER first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 9, 2008 Members Share Posted July 9, 2008 You know, now that the LML influence is gone from the show, I wouldn't mind if they took their time in firing Hamner and Stanley. They're powerless and they'll contribute very little to the "new and improved" Y&R. They both definitely need to go though. I suspect James Stanley will be the first one to go. I think Hamner warmed his way up to Maria Arena Bell and Josh Griffith's dear friend, hence why they let him give previews last month. However, he has no creative power and has been demoted. Y&R can hire some better breakdown/AHW's though. And are we forgetting that Hamner was Latham's Co-HW? His contract cycle must be much longer than the other lower-level writers that Latham hired.
