Something interesting news I found out about Ryan Quan, from an old GL site I go to look up old GL info/news.

It seems like he REALLY wanted to be a soap opera writer. I'm happy he's getting that chance now.

There's also tons of stuff from 1999 about longtime GL writers who were leaving to write for a then "new soap," which was of course Passions. I wonder if one of them knew of him and brought him to Passions, and he eventually went to DAYS from there, though there had to have been years when he wasn't in the soap industry.

Thanks for digging this up. That's pretty neat that he was in daytime back in 1999!

I hated PSNS' end credits. They rarely listed entire production credits and of course they didn't list any script writers. I hate that. *cough GL cough*

So, no one knows what Diane Messina did on Y&R? Toups?

She wasn't credited, so I have no idea.

How dod you know she worked on Y&R with her husband?

Actually I don't think there was EVER any confirmation. It's just a bunch of people that kept adding her to Wikipedia as a writer on Y&R. Nobody ever had a source. So maybe she never even worked there.

Correct.

However, if she did work, she probably co-wrote a couple of outlines with her husband.

Wait, is it legal not to credit the script writers? It shocks me that the guild would allow that.

And if they don't list them, how do you figure out who they are Toups?

He wasn't a scriptwriter on Passions, he worked in production initially.

I believe Passions listed their entire writing team in the credits, they didn't single out who wrote the script for a particular episode. So the scriptwriter was credited in that respect.

And if they don't list them, how do you figure out who they are Toups?

I wonder about that too, especially since many of those writers kicked ass on GL, yet were so horrid on Passions. So, I personally couldn't identify them by their writing "voice."

DAYS:

- Ed Scott last listed as Co-Executive Producer on September 16

- Gary Tomlin first listed as Co-Executive Producer on September 17

There were no big noticeable differences (at least in this episode) like there was with the Wyman-to-Scott transition.

Toups, SONY updated both Y&R and DAYS' production credits today. Maria and Paul are both credited as Co-EP's at Y&R and Camille St. Cyr is listed as Casting Director.

As for DAYS, it looks like Kathryn Foster and Mike Denney have left the show after Ed Scott, they used to be listed as directors before, but they aren't listed anymore. Gary Tomlin is of course listed as Co-EP and Christopher Whitesell is given his Co-HW title, though his stuff hasn't aired yet.

Oh, and Fran Myers is back at DAYS as a writer.

Since it looks like Kathy and Mike are gone from DAYS, I hope Sally McDonald (who appears to be the head of directing at Y&R these days) has the good sense to convince Paul and Maria to rehire them.

Sadly though, I think Kathy and Mike are gone from the industry for good.

Diane Messina

Y&R:

- Natalie Minardi Slater back listed as Associate Head Writer on September 18

That sucks. I hoped that Tomlin would keep them but the industry doesn't work that way. People like to work with people they know. I expect ex-Passions/SuBe directors to show up which of course I don't mind since I'm loyal to Passions.

Noel Maxam's gotta be next.

I hope Mike, Kathy, Noel all head back to Y&R where they belong.

There goes one of my teasers for October!

Not happened in credits yet:

- ATWT: Cheryl Davis OUT

Ummmm..Toups, she is still listed. I guess she isnt leaving??

Hey Alvin, do you have any idea why Sony didn't list Ryan Quan in their updated list?

I assume Ryan is there on a trial basis in the scriptwriter role, that's why. The same reason why they never listed Clem Egan.
