Yes! Maybe Y&R will get better!

I'm over being hopeful, but I'll give her a go. I really don't expect to see any change at all judging by May sweeps previews.

Not now. Next tease will come in May.

Toups, my guess is that this tease will be about the new headwriter of All My Children. It seems clear B&E will be out and many say their contract is up in May. I just hope it's good news so Debbi Morgan and Darnell Williams can get some material worthy of their talents.

I was wishfully thinking it had to do with some of these LML writers being fired. But if, for example, Marla's contract is a 13-weeks one, then her last day is July 11th. And that is so far away...

So if their contract ends in May, their material will air approximately untily July 25th (they appeared as co-HWs on July 25th, 2007)? I so hope they're gone! I just don't want another shocking choice for a head writer.

Teases are for staff writers only.

Head Writers get the "Breaking news" treatment. ;)

Damn. Okay well I'm still looking forward to B&E getting Breaking News treatment. So my new guess is that May's announcement is the exti of several LML writers from Y&R. Now that MAB is finally HW there must be at least ONE writer she wants to bring on, right? As large as the writing staff is she'd have to fire someone to do that.

Latest scriptwriter firing at DAYS is Betinna Bradbury. I always enjoyed her scripts from her days on AMC. She's very talented. I assumed she had survived the Dena Higley "purge," but no such luck. Hope she shows up on another soap soon.

To me (only know her AMC stuff) Bettina is just mediocre. My problem with her was it always seemed like she was trying too hard to be funny/clever at AMC. But she's probably better than anyone Higley would hire.

Well, there goes one of my teases. LOL ;)

I was very surprised that she was brought back in the first place (because she was a FOH), but I guess it had something to do with money.
