If Bradley is Y&R's next EP, he won't be doing the grunt work as EP there. He doesn't even do it at B&B, I hear Rhonda Friedman does most of the actual technical producing and is the one in the booth. My guess is, if Bradley takes over as EP of Y&R, Shaughnessy or Smith will be the actual ones producing the show.

Or he could send Rhonda over to Y&R, and get someone else to do the technical producing for him at B&B, just depends.

Absolutely. If Brad comes to Y&R he'll be there in signing authority only. Which is fine by me. My bet is the one in the booth would be Tony Morina, he's a friend of the Bells.

at this point I think the Bells/Sony should merge the production of the Y&R and B&B with Brad over seeing both show with Bill Bell's minions doing both shows

Toupsy:

Is Swajeski now listed with teh script writers or is she gone?

The last couple of scenes are good - the ending is classic Y&R (at least I thought it was). They even played an old(?) score at the end.......it was music I haven't heard in a while.

If he is the new EP, he better no implement B&B's new production style.

Oh my, wasn't Friday's B&B just the worst? I think it was supposed to be Hitchockian...but it was far too stylized.

From Jason47 in the "Days Gets A New Co-HW" thread:

Head Writer Dena Higley

Co-Head Writer Christopher Whitesell

Associate Head Writer Rick Draughon

Script Editor Victor Gialanella

Outline Writer Renee Godelia

Dialogue Writers Cydney Kelley, John Newman, Jodie Scholz, Linda Poindexter-Brown, Ryan Quan

Rick Draughon is now associate head writer; Renee Godelia is outline writer; Linda Brown (former casting assistant) & Ryan Quan (writer's assistant) have been added as dialogue writers.

It jussst gets better, doesn't it?

Thanks for the info, Jason!

Glad to see Tomlin bringing back the breakdown writer position (if that's what's happening). Having Renee and Rick write breakdowns will relieve some stress from Dena/Chris writing 5 breakdowns themselves.

Looks like they never took on Clem Egan beyond his trial then?

Toups, are there any writing news for September?

I need a course on reading writer credits, lol. I almost thought I saw that Carolyn Culliton wrote today's OLTL show.

She's listed everyday on OLTL because she's the script editor.

And she also writers scripts herself.

I don't know how I can go from being a head writer at a soap to a script editor...

That's an easy one. Sometimes, it's nicer just giving yourself over to the work and not dealing with the network, the notes, the sudden changes in story, focus groups, etc.

ETA: Not that I think CC is doing stellar work editing OLTL. I think she was a far better editor on AW.
