Administrator Toups Posted January 15, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted January 15, 2008 So it was just Bell, Alden and Minnis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 ROTFLMAO!! Do I need to bring up that gross Courtney Bugler "Beach Speech" again? How that garbage ever made it to air is beyond me. SOMEBODY should've said "Yo, hold up a minute! This [!@#$%^&*] makes no sense!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 Bugler and Taylor, yes. Cohen and Hall, hell to the naw! The latter two women at least make an attempt to write for character and add some emotional depth to the dialogue. Bugler and Taylor, on the other hand, essentially write from the breakdown with little to absolutely no nuance and confusing, redundant dialogue. And don't ever give Bugler a scene where more than two characters are speaking -- such as a Fusion scene. Oh, dear GAWD! But considering you're a Beall Lover, Robert... I understand.

Members R Sinclair Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 Considering Karen Lewis' last script was in October and Michelle Patrick went back to script writing in October... See where I'm going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 Okay, seriously -- why?! Why would they do this? I wonder what respect they're going to be given once this strike is all over and done with. The staff they're overseeing is on the picket lines, and they go back to work?

Administrator Toups Posted January 15, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted January 15, 2008 They chose not to renew her contract? What??? She has about 22 years of history with AMC and I've never heard anything bad about her. Wow, I wonder what happened between her and B&E or JHC if what you're saying is true. I thought for sure she left on her own. Her last episode aired in mid-October so she must've left sometime in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 15, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hmm.....let's see what happens for the rest of the week. I hate these fake outs.....they're out....they're in....they're out....they're in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 B&E and JHC probably didn't get along with her because she knew and respected the history of the show. How could they let one of their best scriptwriters go and keep Courtney Bugler and Rebecca Taylor? I hope they have enough sense to keep Kate Hall whenever the strike ends. Too bad B&E went Fi-Core. I have no hope for AMC showing any improvement in the near future (but I will tune in to see Debbi & Darnell's returns). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm pretty sure Karen Lewis left on her own. From what I had heard, she was going to *retire* in the summer of '05, but Megan McTavish convinced her to stay for a while longer and she signed a new deal. I'm assuming her contract expired this August and she decided to leave then. She wrote faithfully for daytime since 1985 (with one break between her ATWT and second AMC stint from 00-01). From what I know, she was indepedently wealthy before she even started writing for soaps. She worked hard, and I think she should enjoy her retirement!

Members Kubla Khan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Frankly, I am surprised that B&E didn't go Fi-Core when the strike started. B&E are at the end of their careers. JHB is pushing 60, and BE is 71, if I'm not mistaken. They really aren't doing AMC for the money, and once their stint at this show is up, I'm sure they'll slink quietly into retirement. They're not some up-and-coming hot newbies that will suffer b/c they resigned from the guild; they're towards the end of their careers, and they really have nothing really to lose. In fact, I'd say they were worried that they were going to get canned (thanks to force majeure), and that's one of the reasons they went to Fi-Core at the end of December. Frankly, I'm not upset that B&E are Fi-Core because... a). They are already the HWs! I think their AMC is painfully boring, and dull, and there is no character balance (which is maddening), but unlike many others, I don't think they're destroying the show. I don't think their material is nearly as offensive or sick or twisted or damaging to history as Megan McTavish's was -- they're just lame writers! . I hate scabs and don't trust them. Unlike most others, I think scabs will end up doing a lot more damage to the soaps than the writers they have replaced. And I won't be won over by so-called "improvements" that people notice in the first week or two. c). Their Fi-Core status is not a reflection of their job security. For all we know, Frons wanted to get rid of them during FM time, and now will just have to wait...until after the strike. (I actually think B&E's fate will rest in how the 'big returns' and big new storylines shape up. If the ratings are still dismal after the Williams/Morgan/Budig/Van Peebles storylines kick off, I think they'll be goners...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
