2008: The Directors and Writers Thread

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

And you...Don't start accusing anyone of making stuff up. You've got sources, or so you say, although you never put out, so you outta look into that Jeanne tidbit yourself.

[Sylph]

I never put out because I don't want to put out. There.

I have no intention of investigating what sort of a writer Jeanne is. I couldn't care less.

Y&RWorldTurner, she might have been fired to make room for someone else. Someone very, very good.

But only maybe. Maybe.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

Is that you Raven? Look, everything I said is what I was told. I believe my friend, and if I'm wrong then I'm sorry. I'm confident in that information and for the smart remarks, don't warn me when I start shootin them back. Threat. Yes

[sheilaforever]

What - didn't he write the pre-Gala-episode?

Aka. the best episode in several years???

Janice Ferri Esser is indeed no longer storyline consultant at B&B - wanted to stress since it was already incorrectly reported some time ago. I wouldn't be surprised though if she took Kay Alden post as associate headwriter...

[Y&RWorldTurner]

That was Lisa Seidman, who should've been fired first.

[Sylph]

What, what?

:lol:

[Y&RWorldTurner]

As long as Esser is employed, Sylph will be happy.

[Sylph]

I don't care, as I said.

And I find it hard to believe that such a loony person exists in the world of daytime. I mean - going to your HW and telling him how to assign scripts? Downright mad.

She's gone. Thank God.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

Ego's exist, especially in the 15- 16 year vets.

[Sylph]

Besides, Jay, that thread about Nelson and Dena really brought a lot of venom to this board (not that it didn't exist before). It's just one of those lurid stories I don't want to know about.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

I feel you.

[Soapsuds]

Eh...I dont buy all the rumors about Ford. I doubt it is true. I would believe it if it were coming from Toups.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

She's a good person, donates money to charities and all, but I was told she had demands, and coming from a scab, she was met with the axe. Script writer or not, any person could have demands. This isn't a caste system.

[Toups]

What were these demands?

Are you telling me that a script writer, who doesn't even go to the studio (at least the NY ones, because I believe she's west coast base), who is new to ATWT/OLTL, is demanding stuff, and she's telling the EP/HW what she's going to do and how many shows she's going to write? Come on. Tell me that makes any sense.

[Felix]

I wonder what will become of all of the writers at Passions. I've read that a lot of them have been in "the business" for a long time. Does this long-term (20+ years) experience make them any more valuable or likely to be hired?
