I had read a couple of places he was out, and then he was still in the building and working.

It could be wrong, but I know the photographer, and he's one of the best I've seen about getting the captions and everything. People figured out Bree Williamson had gotten married like a month before she announced it because of captions of her and the husband at an event in Sept.

i was looking at the 85 and 86 credits of ATWT and noticed to names new to the directing team. Richard Pepperman and Richard Dunlap. Is Richard Pepperman the father of current director Jennifer Pepperman? And what ever happened to the two Richards?

Now if only Michelle Poteet Lisanti would leave OLTL, I'd be very happy. Myers the terrible is gone, and I am loving it, Schock, and Lennon havent proven to suck to me, contrary to popular opinion, I love Elizabeth Page, Carolyn is a beast, she's lazy right now, but she has great skills, and Aida Croal is one of my heroes. Now if MPL would go, I'd be good!

We are so on the same wave length regarding OLTL's writers.

I've noticed about Schock that her episodes start out a bit slow, a bit like the status quo, but as the show goes on the episode builds a bit leading to a good cliffhanger or two. I also notice that she loves to use Dorian & the Cramers.

Haven't seen enough of Lennon to make a judgement of course.

Michelle Poteet Lisanti is the only sore spot on OLTL's writing team. I cringed at the thought that she was able to do two back to back episodes a few weeks ago.

If Croal was promoted to Co-Head Writer I think she would make the show perfect. Simply perfect.

As for Page, I adore her too.

I find OLTL's the dialogue extremely stilted and hokey. There's not one A-list scriptwriter on that team, IMO. And obviously, Culliton is wasted on the Script Editor position, which is just NOT her forte.

But dialogue doesn't have a tremendous impact on stories. GH still by far has the best scriptwriting team in daytime, but we all know how much their stories suck ass.

I'm sure Tomlin wants to bring over Michelle to DAYS.

That's in the breakdowns, not scripts.

I'm not a big fan of promoting script writers who don't have breakdown experience to Co-HW or HW (ie. Meg Kelly at DAYS. Hogan should've picked Fred Johnson or Tom Casiello as his Co-Head).

I think you need the breakdown experience, learning how do layouts, learning how to do structure. Aida doesn't haven't that, she's only written scripts.
