Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I would think that she would be staying since she is after all, a real person! Tamiko Brooks is real as well, and Scott Sickles wrote on OLTL a few years ago. Did he make a return recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 9, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted December 9, 2008 DAYS: - Lisa Seidman first listed as Associate Head Writer on December 9 No, Sickles isn't back. I was just mentioning writers who wrote a few times and then left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I don't know about anyone else, but following all these comings and goings in the writing depts. has left me feeling exhausted, lol. Let's pray '09 is relatively more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 I love how people talk about wanting "new blood", then accuse new writers of being "fake names" made up when they don't recognize them. LOL! (No offense to anyone here - I see it happen on a lot of boards. Just making an observation, not a criticism.) And yeah - Sharon and Scott are definitely both real people. And Khan - why should 2008 be any different from 2007? Or 2006? Or 2005? It's a constant round-and-round when ratings don't go up. Everyone needs a scapegoat, so they keep the revolving door going until that mythical "perfect staff" is found that brings back the fans (although most of us know that's never going to happen - TPTB still haven't given up that hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 Good point, lol. Truth is, there's always chaos whenever it comes to the hiring and firing of writers in daytime. Still, it just seems to me that there's been more of it this year than usual. (Not going on any actual data, mind you, just offering an opinion.)

Administrator Toups Posted December 11, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted December 11, 2008 B&B - December 10th episode Steffy (crying): Can you hear me? Can you feel me? Can you feel me up there? Can you feel me? (She gets up on the ledge) Can you feel me up there? Can you feel me? Phoebe, are you up there? I can feel you. You were always the star. And now you’re up there in the sky, and you really are a star. No matter how far apart we are, we will always be a part of each other. You’re still with me. I can still feel you. A beautiful star.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 I was reading the interview Karen Harris did with Michael Fairman. She mentioned that she just finished a 3 year cycle with GH and has recently started a new 3 year cycle. I had no idea some scriptwriters had 3 year cycles...

Members brimike Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 It's a three year contract, not a three year cycle, Alvin. The LONGEST cycle for script writers is 26 weeks (I think only one or two head writers get 52 week cycles anymore, and I'm not even sure they get those at this point.) No way does anybody have a three-year cycle. If I'm wrong, I'll happily eat my words, but I can't imagine any network would allow someone to be guaranteed payment for 156 weeks. I don't even know what to say. This is just embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
