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.

    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
    • I hate to be that person, but Monday’s episode was a mess. The editing was an eyesore—felt like multiple scenes got chopped mid-way through. Anita’s singing was completely over the top. And while TT can sing, something about her performance just felt off—her voice was actually kind of grating   Leslie’s motivations make zero sense, unless we’re supposed to believe she just thrives on chaos. Her smirking while her daughter got locked out? That was straight-up cartoon villain territory. Once again, the Duprees came off like a full-on mob—especially the girls, who acted more like petty mean girls than anything else. And don’t get me started on Kat and Eva. Their dialogue was repetitive and totally unrealistic. “We have opposite fairy tales”? Seriously? Give me a break.(not that literally though, I want my episodes daily!!)

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.
    • If Leslie wanted to be super shady

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
    • 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. They were a really popular pairing for a few years ago.  As an older viewer, it seemed strange seeing Beth as the odd one out, but 1998 Beth was a totally different character.  She was written as a manipulative, vixen.
