Inspired by this past week's DAYS dialogue, how about we keep track of the "it's so awful it's funny" dialogue from these post-strike episodes? :lol:

So far, the only soaps eligible for this thread are: DAYS, AMC, GH, Y&R, B&B, ATWT.

I'll definitely pay closer attention to dialogue now, so I can contribute.

Thanks, Toups!

I'm only watching AMC nowadays, but I think the dialogue and scripts have been much better lately with the scabs! Ironic?

  • Member

It all depends on who's scabbing, too. Some soaps may have scabs with zilch script experience, while other soaps may have more (cough) experienced writers working in secret.

Y&R's benefited from the "scabs", and I think the dialogue has actually been one of the better facets of the show lately.

However, I definitely see the changes at DAYS and to an extent GH.

General Hospital -- the best WGA dialog out of the three ABCD soaps (in my opinion) -- has been HORRIBLE!

  • Member

I think Y&R's has been pretty good so far. I don't know who is writing for the show, but I haven't noticed a change.

Why hasn't anyone reposted the infamous "gun" scene from Days last week?

Hey I agree! Give them the head writing job and kick B&E to the curb

I wasn't the original one to post this, but figured I'd post it here anyway 'cause it's by far my favorite piece of "scab dialogue" yet! lmao

Shawn: I'm gonna kill you.

Thug: Stop, I have a gun.

Shawn: I don't care, you're in big trouble buddy.

Thug: You're forgetting who has the gun.

Shawn: I don't care if you have a gun, if you don't let me get to my wife I'm gonna beat the crap out of you.

Thug: Guess you're on the wrong side of the gun to say that, aren't you?

Toups,

This is a good idea. AMC has been veery good with the writing latley but you never know what you will hear.

February 1:

Chelsea: "Just like that?"

Victor: "Just like that."

Then the very next act:

Chelsea: "Just like that?"

Victor: "Just like that."

---------------------------------------------

February 5

Bo: "Just like that?"

Victor: "Just like that."

:lol:
