When it says "has" does this mean he went fi-core and is taking over while the strike is on with a promise of the job afterwards?

I really, really want JP gone, but I thought I had heard some not very good things about CW also. Any more opinions on this if in fact it is even true?

Someone should tell "Italian Stallion" that someone who posts here does not mean "According to sources over at the Soap Opera Network."

And that rumour started here: http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/index.p...st&p=536343

Clearly RavenWhitney does not speak for SON. So next time please credit RavenWhitney instead of SON.

And good to know that "Italian Stallion" going to be copying everything I write in the Directors/Writers Thread and paste it in his own thread. Yup, good to know.

Say hello to an even worse ATWT, which I did not think possible.

Chris Whitesell is absolutely atrocious. He was a HW for Gary Tomlin's OLTL in 2001-2002 which descended to new levels of camp and ridiculousness. He came from SuBe, which should tell you his background.

The man's not a complete hack, only partially so. He created mainstays on OLTL such as Natalie, Rex and Roxy. He also started off with strong writing with the Natalie/Jessica baby switch. Unfortunately, he went downhill fast and the show slided into complete camp by the time he was fired and replaced by Michael Malone. So expect at least a few good months of ATWT ^_^

He's kind of like the male Megan McTavish, but instead of going for dark melodrama he goes for light camp.

LMAO! Since Tomlin will be scab writing for OLTL during the strike, I wonder just how ridiculous things are going to get. I agree, Whitesell is pure crap. As I've said before, I don't believe anything that comes from RavenWhitney, given the false information this poster has posted in the past.

LOL! Maybe you should copyright the Directors/Writers Thread. :P:lol:

LOL Maybe I should! :P:lol:

It's amazing they copy/paste and they don't credit at all, not even a link! Sheesh. How about a "I am directly copying and pasting from SON. Here is the link:........" Not that hard, eh? <_<

No, I got nothing on ATWT right now.

    • That happens sometimes on cbs/paramount. Just refresh the page and it should work.
    • In a 1997 SOD article, Ehlers mentions that she was asked to return several times, but was surprised she wasn't asked to return for her "mother's" funeral.  This was when she returned for the 60th Anniversary event.

    • It seems obvious based on the initial material that Korte was going to take another foolish run at Jason and Carly a la 2021 and hoped Mulcahey being back would make it work, as he wrote such famous material for Steve, Sarah, etc. I think a couple good dialogue scenes came out of them together very early on, but there was never any denying that Steve and Laura have never had and will never have any romantic chemistry, plus the audience doesn't want it. So they pivoted to her with that useless dayplayer (Brennan) and now here they all are, spinning their wheels doing nothing of value on the show. I do think PM had planned to do much more with Jason's sons and that rivalry/friction, but once he was gone so was Jake. I've rarely seen any of the core mob 3 feel so totally extraneous and directionless on the canvas. Not that I mind. Anything that makes Jason easier to get rid of works for me.
    • I just edited the 1998 SOD Awards & Laura Wright won Best New Character for Cassie on GL. Also Philip & Harley won something of some name for them as a couple & when they finished saying their effusive thanks at the mic, Grant picked Beth up & literally threw her over his shoulder & walked backstage that way. I mean, it's great that Beth Ehlers is a good sport, right?

    • nothing. The story was put on the backburner while they focused on other stuff. I think thats one of the issues i have with the show in that it sometimes struggles with balance as stories will disappear for weeks and then reappear (Chelsea's throuple for example)
    • I HATED Infinity (I could care less about Kyle Sampson and his hanger ons and the dumb Lujack video, and Mindy and Kurt were strong armed into being a fave couple and married off way too soon (Jeva didnt get that big of a wedding.) I did like the Fishing Mystery (despite the changing of history..it was murky enough that it could be fudged) and the Cabin mystery started out good ..I thought Tony was hot and I liked Annabelle, it had supernatural elements but they did not overtake the story (i.e. Reva traveling through time..) and I love a gothic mystery.. however, it was bizarre that nosy Nola wasnt in the mix...she barely seemed interested that her sister in law was psychic, there may be ghosts in her brothers house, etc.  I don't know if there was a behind the scenes issue with Brown and Kobe, or if Long just wanst interested or felt tied up writing for Quola.  I would have had Quint blow up in the cabin instead of Hillary but..The big problem that the end result was...boring. Okay so there are black Spauldings..and they disappeared...so what now? Not only was J gross...(I can't believe the actor IS actually just as obnoxious as J) they made Chelle into an airhead horn dog going after her cousin. Yes, by adoption but still her cousin. I wondered why she was not calling Nola "Aunt" when she first arrived, and they barely acknowledge each other ( I would think Nola would glomb on to mothering her sister's daughter, especially with Stacy not in town, much to Ed's chagrin) but it was in service to...this??? Wait until Chele gets all horny for an angel...oyyyy! No one else in town reacted to Nadine's death,, cause Deas had to have his big dumb over the top reaction scene to Deenie's death. I can't imaging watching that scnene and thinking he was a good actor!
    • Happy to see this!

        I know, I'm getting the sense they expected Beaty to stay if they were going the rehabilitation route with Abby. A few weeks ago, when Michelle was dressing sexy for her date with J, she let Abby try on a dress and Rick then taught her what dating was like, and she went in and kissed him. They were clearly setting up the Abby/Rick story, but then suddenly it has pivoted to Rick falling back in love with Annie and trying to convince her not to go to Josh since he and Reva are secretly meeting at the cabin (Annie is getting unhinged here). But with Rick focused on Annie again, it would have left room for Abby to work with Brent, had Beaty stayed (at least this is what I'm assuming based on what I'm seeing). Rick is also now in Blake's orbit - they both just got in a bar fight post-Ross/Amanda kissing and Annie rejecting Rick's advances. They're together and Blake is now coming onto Rick while they drink... uh oh.
    • She is truly in such a delusional state that it's hard to know what's true but I'm sure there are some easter eggs in there. I am very curious to see how they utilize Leslie now that everybody knows who she is. If they do go with a connection to Anita in someway that would definitely be interesting. Anita was the first and only person so far that Leslie seemed intimidated by.
