Kate Hall better be back!!!!!!

Hmm...let me see here.....if there are any mistakes, please let me know. LOL

Thank you, Toups!!! The only question I have is: are you sure Judith Donato isn't African-American?

If Bugler is, indeed, McTavish's niece, it would be interesting to see if Bugler comes back after Aunt Meggie basically blasted B&E in the press during the strike.

Isn't Courtney Bugler a fake, non-existent name?

I can vouch for it as well. I saw him in the 1993 AMC Behind the Scenes video as well as the 2002 A&E Documentary.

Do you remember his stint at AMC?

Yeah. If Hall left like Khan said it would have been after the strike.

But I really hope she did not leave.

Also did Karen Lewis leave of did she get fired?

Lewis' contract was up but whether she retired or was let go I guess we'll never know. On the one hand, she'd been doing this forever so retirement seems reasonable. But on the other hand, because she'd been doing this for so long, she had to have been costly.

Also there was an interview B&E did last year where they criticized one of their writers for writing some beautiful scenes but they didn't feel that the words made sense for the character involved (like these tools have any right to judge anyone's knowledge of the characters). That could have been Karen. And I'm sure whatever the dialogue was Karen was right and B&E were dead wrong.

No, she's the real deal.

She's not.

Interesting that Lisa Connor & Leah Laiman went up on stage, even though they weren't on the ballot!

Frederick Johnson should be headwriter of AMC! I had the absolute pleasure of talking to him back in....97 I think, it was around the time Maria died...and I was very impressed.

And the man hates McTavish so his judgement is spot on. The second Megan came back in 98 he jumped ship and the second Megan left in 1999 he came back lol.

I guess we'll see if the Bugler/McTavish connection was true. Although, given how lazy and apathetic B&E are it would not surprise me if they kept her on staff despite McTavish's comments. If they fired her they might have to fill out a form or something. ...Takes away from their pub time.

Johnson and McTavish got along fine during her first stint. He was around for a bit during her second one, but they had a big falling out and that's when he left for GL.

Oooh, I love these Kubla Khan behind-the-scenes tidbits!

No, she's the real deal.

But what kind of a name is that?? Something like Greenlee Smythe...

She's not.

I'm sure someone on Usenet or on another board mentioned it, but if you say she isn't, I believe you. And the dilemma is irrelevant, I don't care about someone's race. I think she wrote many great scripts during her ATWT tenure.

Judy Tate is, but Judith Donato is not.

There were five African-Americans on ATWT's team during this (I believe): Susan Dansby, Lynn Martin, Judy Tate, Charlotte Gibson and Royal Miller.

She's not.

Interesting that Lisa Connor & Leah Laiman went up on stage, even though they weren't on the ballot!

That happens a lot, from what I've seen. People can be on the team, but not write enough episodes to be on the ballot, and just join the group on stage. They don't win the actual awards or speak to the press afterwards - just join their friends on stage.

Also there was an interview B&E did last year where they criticized one of their writers for writing some beautiful scenes but they didn't feel that the words made sense for the character involved (like these tools have any right to judge anyone's knowledge of the characters). That could have been Karen. And I'm sure whatever the dialogue was Karen was right and B&E were dead wrong.

Isn't that ironic, cause they're doing the same thing right now
