2 random questions---the writers brought into AMC--do they hold the "Friend of Carruthers" status?

Does anyone know when we'll start to see the OLTL writers back?

I don't think so. Cinquemani never worked with JHC.

First week of May.

The AMC transition stuff was sort of boring, but not damaging. They didn't do any harm to the show that I can think of.

Maybe it would be more exciting if they (I assume Walsh and Beall) weren't transitional and were allowed to actually move things along.

Oh, I believe it was totally Walsh and Beall -- especially Beall a.k.a. McTavish, Jr.

I so don't like this decision of eliminating the breakdown writer's position... 

Now only Goldschmid needs to pop up and that's it.

Cost cutting measures.....less jobs for soap writers.

It's so sad, Toups. But nothing I can do about it.

Do you know what's going to happen to those Passions writers who are not retiring? Have you heard if some might join another soap opera?

I think that the moment someone hears you worked on Passions, they won't want to know anything about you.

I'm really interested in how B&B's credits will look in two weeks or so...

Maybe Brad Bell is taking a permanent break and Alden stay hw?

I love my Passions writers. LOL They write really good humour. And the few times they're allowed to write good drama, they're pretty damn good.

No I haven't heard anything about Passions' writers. A lot of them retired (Nancy Williams Watt, Peggi Schibi, Maralyn Thoma) when PSNS went to DirecTV. I think N. Gail Lawrence retired too. Pete Rich is getting up there in age too, i think, so he might retire.

I think Marlena Clark, Clem Egan and Shawn Morrison are under 50 so they might still want to work in daytime. Don't know how old Darrell Ray Thomas Jr. is.

Of course you can expect to see them again if Jim Reilly gets hired again........

I think it's quite funny how some of these people were actually a part of acclaimed writing teams in the past, like Thoma and Williams Watt, and they ended up on Passions. Probably it was easy money for them – write some trash and earn some bucks. Sorry, Toups, I just dislike the show and Reilly and the whole of his aesthetics... My blood pressure rises every time think about him!

However, maybe some of these younger writers will be able to find some gig. Although I highly doubt it.

No, I'm not retiring! Who on Earth gave you that idea?

Toups, when do you expect ATWT team to get back and will there be any changes in that writing staff?

Something's afoot at AMC, it's got to be, reading upcoming spoilers, I really believe B&E are out, the spoilers sound too GOOD to be their writing.....

Heard mid-to-late April.

will there be any changes in that writing staff?

Haven't heard anything.

Thanks, Toups!

Are you sure?
