Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 Katherine Schock, from the Whitesell/Broderick tenure wrote today's script. I guess Ron brought her back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 She's actually decent. Her scripts have usually been heavy on the younger set and her work seems to be a good fit. I'm pretty surprised, I hated her stuff at AMC...but like I said, her script assignments appear deliberately geared towards the younger set.

Members R Sinclair Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 Good to read. More glowing Y&R reviews, less chance of her slinking back to AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 31, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted October 31, 2008 She's been doing very well. Thursday's episode was good. There were some funny lines and a great scene with Neil/Karen. Like DaytimeFan already mentioned, most of her episode have been with the young crowd. She started under McTavish's era, and yes, she's a friend of Ron's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClassicAMCDays Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 Toups, Has there been any mention of Michele Val Jean's status at GH? I haven't seen her name in the credits for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 31, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted October 31, 2008 She was last listed on October 10. Maybe she was on vacation or had time off? I'd be surprised if she left since she's very tight with Guza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 Michele is on vacation, I notice she typically does around 3 scripts early in October every year, so I guess this is her time off. Guza would never let her go, she's the best scriptwriter on the GH team, IMO. I really wish some other soap would steal her away and give her a HW job and pair her with a Co-HW who knows that particular soap. Talk about talent being put to waste over at GH...

Members brimike Posted November 6, 2008 Members Share Posted November 6, 2008 You also have to wonder about the script editor. That's a big factor too - whether or not an editor and a script-writer gel together. Amanda Beall and Jeff Beldner might not have been a good match writing-style-wise (nothing to do with personality), but maybe Amanda's style suits her new editor's style, and the edits work to her strengths instead of weaknesses? I have no clue - just theorizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 ^^^That could be a very real possibility. Amanda Beall has indeed turned out good scripts until now, which is, to say the least, a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 That's a heck of a theory that I am more than willing to buy. So far, all of Beall's scripts have been good. I am as stunned as anyone who watched her sh*t on AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 7, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted November 7, 2008 Anthony Morina was credited as Second Unit Remote Sequence director today for Y&R. I figured he would be the Producer of the Paris location shoot. Also, in Friday's episode, it looks like the Sharon/Nick cafe scenes were shot with green (or blue) screen. It was very noticable. And the Ashley scenes had a different filter - it wasn't crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 That's a good theory -- one that I share. Same thing with General Hospital. Elizabeth Korte, for all of her Mob Loving, Liz Hating, Jason Worshipping, is a good editor. The dialogue on that show is great. The story and plotting is another issue. She uses script writers' strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 I saw Nick and Sharon's scenes on Youtube, and you are right. (It makes sense that they did this, because street noise can really mess up these remotes). Two clues that it was green screen...which I could pick out even from the dark little youtube: (a) lighting--esp. on Nick--was all wrong. DEFINITELY indoor lighting with a shine that didn't match anything else, and ( some of those passers-by were AWFULLY close....no way would they have been that close in real life. That said, they seemed to do a pretty good job of synchronizing so that if a passerby was approaching behind Sharon, he/she was walking away behind Nick. So, it was GOOD green screen at some level. Anyway, I love all shots of Paris that we're getting. Soaps have been so studio-locked and US-locked for so long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 Janice Ferri Esser has been credited like crazy this week on Y&R. 3 out of 5 scripts, I assume she's very involved with some of the storylines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
