Regarding who's writing DOOL during the strike, just take a look at who didn't sign the petition that appeared in variety.

It's widely speculated that two former writers of DOOL, who hightailed it to another network for a while until they were shown the door, have returned because they were always well respected by Corday Productions. Do you really think Sony/Corday/Bell would let the sinking DOOL be written by office assistants? You'll see DOOl improve dramatically during these strike episodes with these writers in the mix (they've learned alot during their time away and DO love Salem and its inhabitants) and Sheffer on the picket lines.

I am not quite so hopeful, especially if it's who I think it is.

Do you care to share what you know? We all could use some good news right now.

I think either SOD or SOW is saying that Chris Goutman is writing ATWT right now. Not sure if it is true though.

He's been writing it for a while now.

Of course there's more than just 3 people writing for Y&R or any show. They might have been able to do it for a couple of weeks, but it's just not possible to keep it up for a long period of time.

But the emphasis wasn't on if it's true. Rather who are these people.

The article over in the strike thread confirms it´s Dena Highley.

And a little preview from monday scab episode, Stefano says he has John´s entire brain downloaded on a disk! So she sure learned a lot, but I quess her teacher was Tom Langan.

Error. Sorry.

P. S. Toups, why is Hannah Louise Shearer missing from your Profiles subforum?

Finally, JP and the writers were not listed on today's ATWT, so Thursday must have been there last show

and it was a great show

I don't see how Friday's show was any better than a Passanante episode. It seemed exactly the same except for worse dialogue. I think people who want Passanante out are gonna read wayyy too much into this.

Everyone on the team wasn't listed? Interesting. I thought it would be the scripts writers to disappear first.

Yup nobody was listed at all.

Nope. Usually it goes "EP, Written by, Directed by, Writers, Line Producers" but today it just went "EP, Directed by, Line Producers." It is interesting, because Peter Brash implied that scripts ran out before outlines.

Wow, wonder what happened to the breakdowns then - Goutman decided to ditch those? Shades of Y&R when that entire team disappeared all at once.
