Members R Sinclair Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 QUOTE (Chris B @ Feb 14 2008, 06:34 PM) Y&RWorldTurner, I hope they get rid of that DREADFUL casting director who is a FOLML from the flop Wildcard. She's a horrible casting director who clearly goes for looks and not substance. If any of her casting choices (like Eric Steinberg) can act, it's clearly luck. I didn't know Judy Blye Wilson was doing double duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 The casting was one of the biggest pitfalls of the Latham administration. I really hope the whole team she assembled is gone. Friends of Latham be gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 The big question is, where will Latham land next? You know with her undeserved Emmy and WGA Award someone's going to want her hack ass...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 We all know AMC is looking for a new HW and I say LML is it. Soaps only hire unsuccessful HWs to take over a failing soap. I hope this doesn't hold true for Y&R's new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boldfan01 Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 That's certainly true. Brad Bell's always shown loyalty to folks from his dad's days on Y&R - Alden and Eileen Davidson getting "rescued" to B&B after getting sacked by Y&R are the best examples I can think of - so he won't turn on Kay now for stepping up to keep a member of his writing team in the mix during the strike. And even though they don't have complete control of Y&R, I can see the Bells doing what they can to stick up for the Fi-Core writers who came in there. In Josh Griffith's case, the promotion to EP was likely his reward for taking one for the team, and given her last name and family affiliation by marriage, I don't see Maria Arena Bell getting shunned by Y&R, either, assuming she wants to stay involved in the show now that the strike is over. Sure, SONY and CBS can try and flex their muscles there, but given that their fair-haired girl (LML) has now been ousted, those muscles may not be very strong right now.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 How long can Frons/ABC/Disney keep two Fi-Core Head Writers employed without a backlash from the WGA? It's only a matter of time before B&E are gone, IMO.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dm. Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 So Gary Tomlin was listed as Interim HW today... Who else was credited? This site says Elizabeth Page wrote the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 Wonder if she had to sew all those dresses for the "Go Red!" gala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 I agree, I can also totally see Frons hiring Latham or even hiring McTrash back. He doesn't care if AMC has a good HW or not, he just hires any ole hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yeah. B& went Fi-Core. I really do not see B&E there at AMC for a long time. I will give it months maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 So you don't think it matters that they didn't replace anyone by going fi-core? I thought that was the main issue: fi-core writers being kept on in place of writers who went on strike. B&E didn't take anyone's job. Scabs from the 88 strike have had long careers in soaps. Mimi Leahey, Donna Swajeski, Janet Iacobuzio...everyone knows they scabbed during the strike and they are all still around. And they are even WGA members! Hope you're right though.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 The WGA already stripped Fi-Core writers of their WGA Award nominations and I can't imagine the union being too happy about their writers, official members of the WGA, returning to work and working for/under a duo (B&E) who are Fi-Core and went Fi-Core during a crucial strike. Fi-Core status wasn't created within the WGA until the 1988 strike, I believe. Many WGA members still resent the fact it was created in the first place.
