I would not mind Richard coming back to AMC. Also maybe going to his wife at OLTL is not that bad either.

Toups, you're recently updated archives of Y&R state that Lisa Seidman wrote the script for the July 24 episode. Isn't she a breakdown writer? She wrote breakdowns for three episodes prior to this one.

Yeah, I'm gonna edit that. I'm gonna put a W beside her name instead of BDW or SW and see how she's listed next time. I originally thought she wrote the script because there's no SW underneath her, meaning Hogan or Marla wrote the breakdown and of course there's no way of knowing which one wrote it. Same with Monday's US episode. Was it a Hogan or Marla breakdown? Back to Lisa. Next time she's credited, if there's someone underneath her, I'll change the July 24 episode to BDW; if there's someone above her, I'll change it to SW. *sigh* Why can't these credits be much easier?

Toups, after Thurday's episode and the few episodes she's written before, I hope to hear from you soon, Lisa Seidman OUT. :lol:

Didn't you say she was ony there for a trial basis? Did they decide to keep her or is she still there in a trial capacity?

I think she passed the trial period but is writing scripts now.

Maybe that will satisfy Y&RWorldTurner since she doesn't seem to be doing breakdowns well.

She does nothing well.

Oh, look! We're choking the thread with Y&R again! :lol:

No, the fact that she's still there worries me. She's already tainted in my eyes, and now that she's writing scrips, I'll be paying closer attention to her dialogue.

In other words, I hope they fire her ass soon. :)

Would you like to be on trial after she leaves? :P

Well, we can't be forced to discuss about other shows when there's currently nothing to discuss about, right?

While on the subject, who decides if a writer passes the trial period? Is it the head writer? Because keeping Seidman could be Maria's decision.

And look how well all of Maria's decisions regarding her writing staff have turned out. <_<

Seriously, Y&R won't improve until they get a REAL HW in there....

And the fact that they switched Seidman to writing scrips tells me they hated her breakdowns like I did. However, they should've just let her go after her trial run....

Oh Maria.....will she ever learn? Everyone she hires on a trial basis ends up being hired permanently.

No one is forcing anything. But, we can avoid all the same posts about all the same problems and people. ;)
