I wonder who Maria herself will hire, she's just as bad as her predecessor, we know the only thing Bell about her is her last name by marriage.

:shocked: How can you speak about Maria like this?

This had to be OK-ed by Sony and Bell, and since Kanelos worked with Latham on TWO shows, it had to have been her last hiring.

Marla hiring by Latham or Maria?

Oops, I meant "If Maria is anything like her predeseccor, then the only thing Bell about her is her last name by marriage."

I still think Marla's hiring is nothing but a Latham left-over.

I just want to see who Maria will hire herself, that will be her true test with me.

Phew! Now I'm relieved.

Yes, I believe it's a left-over. And yes, we will test her when some other writer pops up as a new hire.

Toups,

Since you know of this new writer coming on, any word on which writers will be returning from LML, Alden and Smith's Y&R teams? I'd be shocked if the three remaining Bell writers didn't return at least.

Marla gone from AMC is nothing!!!

Thank GOD it was not Kate Hall, Jeff Belder, Michelle Patrick or Addie Walsh!!

I'm willing to give Marla a chance, she was a Writer's Assistant for Y&R during the early 90's, when Bill Bell was still running the show.

I'll look at her first episode and judge. I mean a lot of people didn't want Cherie Bennett & Jeff Gottesfeld back, but the first episode they wrote post-strike was actually very good.

BTW, isn't Marla that writer that LA Times article was interviewing just as the strike began? You know, the one who adopted that Russian girl and said she was "living paycheck to paycheck."

You're going to see some writers roulette on some of these shows...I'm not pointing any figures but we all know that there were writers from one show who worked on another show to maintain secrecy with promises for a job. There are over 110 daytime writers, of which only a handful went core, some others scabbed. It's happened during each strike. I'm not saying that Kanelos, Draughon or Godelia scabbed but you can be sure some guild writers did scab. I'm okay with that since the shows needed help to survive. Although my guess is that P&G had trouble getting any writers to scab since they pay minimums and are under threat of cancellation.

Well we don't know if Kate Hall and Michelle Patrick will be back either since they are still MIA for now. And if AMC is eliminating the breakdown position then Beall and Walsh may just be around until their contracts expire.

I guess it depends on if they are going to fire the old script writers like Rebecca Taylor, Courtney Bugler, and Ron Renauld and bump Walsh and Beall down to scriptwriters.. or if they are going to get rid of everyone who was a breakdown writer like Beall and Walsh and keep people like Taylor, Bugler and Renauld where they are.

Heaven forbid.....

Thanks for the info Toups

Hopefully Hall, Beall, and a few others will be back. I just hope Bulger isn't....

Yes, that's why I said it might be a mercy hiring.

She is known for her abysmal dialogue for AMC, I don't think a show change will transform her abilities. Yet, we'll see. MIracles happen.

- Amanda L. Beall back listed as Associate Head Writer on March 19

:lol:

I'm so sorry for this, R! My condolences!

3. This former DAYS writer (not part of the February firings) is also returning to the show = Rick Draughon

Aww, I was hoping it was SLG.

Toups, have you heard anything about the writers who weren't listed in the Feb firings? I think it was Scholz, Bradbury and one other. You said at the time that their status was unclear.

2. This recently fired DAYS writer is returning = Renee Godelia (Congrats on RavenWhitney for the correct guess)

3. This former DAYS writer (not part of the February firings) is also returning to the show = Rick Draughon

Are these writers a good thing? I'm not familiar with Draughon.
