I think she's a good bet too. Her last script aired several weeks before the rest of the AMC writers dissappeared from the credits so maybe she and AMC had parted ways before the strike. Plus with her mom at ATWT she's got the CBS connections.

I hope not though. B&E ditch Karen Lewis and Kate Hall for that sci-fi hack Ron Renauld!?

Unfortunately... That sucks big time.

I'm happy that Maria is adding a writer that was not a part of Y&R before. But only if the writer in question is good. I don't want Rebecca Taylor, Amanda L. Beall or some other bad AMC writer.

In that strike video from a few months back Kate Hall talked about how she couldn't wait to get back to AMC. It doesn't sound like she was gone at the time of the strike.

Nooooo Kate Hall better NOT be gone from AMC, she's like one of the few people who can actually you know, write........

I am already missing the scab AMC writers. I think the dialogue was much better duirng the strike. And since Beall is supposedly AMC's best dialogue writer, I can only imagine how I am going to feel when Courtney Bugler's first script airs!

Please tell me you are joking? The dialogue has sucked royally with the scabs. Characters say one thing in one episode, then say the complete opposite in another.

Another Kate/Y&R connection: Josh was involved with ATWT, where Simon is, as you all know it, script editor.

No I'm not joking. It's just my opinion. I found the scab dialogue *overall* to be more natural and not the stereotypical stilted soap dialogue. I agree you there there was alot of inconsistency but was that really a change from the norm?

We already knew that Y&R is taping ahead between 3 and 4 weeks these days (announcement of the Lesli Kay crossover on Feb 29, airdate March 25...) so it makes sense...

I wonder who scabbed for Y&R in the dialogue department. It was definitely someone who was with the show in the 90s considering the many flashbacks and great past references...

I'm glad the AMC writing staff is back. That show needs all the help it can get.

Toups you gotta tell us which AMC wirite is going to Y&R!!!!

YOU ARE KILLING ME.

Instead of posting the names right away, I'll tease you guys and let you guess.

1. This AMC writer joined Y&R.

James Harmon Brown or Barbara Esensten!?!?

*chuckles*

Naah, I wouldn't wish them on any soap!

LOL Addicted, I thought of them, but we wouldn't be that lucky, and Y&R fans don't deserve that either

Now that I think about it...it could be Kate Hall...the other possibility is Stephen Demorest who wrote scripts for Malone/Griffith on OLTL...maybe Griffith can get Curlee/Williams Watt/N.Gail Lawrence to join Y&R too.

I think it's most likely Kate Hall, too.
