All: Which Head Writer Is Next To Go?


Recommended Posts

I'm not necessarily shocked Hogan was let go, just that 9 out of his 12 writers followed suit with him. Anyway, which soap do you believe will be affected next?

I think the writing was on the wall with Latham being fired from Y&R a long time ago. With Josh Griffith finally being listed as the on Executive Producer this week, it sort of sealed the deal of her firing IMO. I just wonder why nothing's leaked of her being axed yet, since we know Hogan is already out.

As for the ABC soaps, I think they'll remain with the same creative teams. I would've thought B&E would be the first to go, but I think they won brownie points with Frons by going Fi-Core. As for Guza, I don't think Frons will ever work up the guts to fire him. I don't know what to say about Ron at OLTL, but I wouldn't be surprised if Frons tries to screw with that show now that its stable and actually good. :rolleyes:

I think the P&G soaps will keep their head writers as well, because face it, P&G doesn't seem to care about the quality of their soaps anymore. They think viewers are dumb and only care about the physical look of their shows. :rolleyes:

Vanilla Ice: "Word to your mutha."

IA, Y&RWorldTurner, Latham's exit from Y&R seems like a foregone conclusion. Too much is happening both onscreen and off to presume Y&R is in a sort of holding pattern, waiting for her to return.

After Latham, though, I'm hard-pressed to predict who the next HW will be to be forced out of his or her job. B&E might've bought a little time w/ Frons at AMC, but I think TPTB will be watching the two's performance from here on very, very closely.

At this point, the only HWs w/ relative job security are Bell, Kreizman, Guza and Passanante. (And of course, the Scab Formerly Known as Dena Higley, at DAYS.) I'd add Carlivati to the list, but I still suspect he will come back from the strike to find he has been busted back down to Associate Head Writer (or, at the very least, that he'll have to share his HW'ing duties with Gary Tomlin).

I dont get why Kreizman is still writing GL. It is plain awful! I loved your post Khan on the Days thread. I so remember those days you mentioned about GL. GL hasnt felt GL to me in a long time.

Bullshit. I don't see it. And if he does, you'll get a backlash from OLTL fans like you wouldn't believe. That would be a very, very bad mistake.

Assuming LML is already long gone, I think Guza, B&E or Passanante are next. B&E have jockeyed to save their jobs by going fi-core; that's the only reason they did it. ATWT is unwatchable and GH is throwing out Guza's outlines.

    • What are the additional surprises that Leslie has up her sleeve?
    • And that's the power of William J. Bell and his co-executive producers. Truth be told, I know people have heralded the return of Edward J. Scott last year (and yes, his return helped tighten up the visual look of production under the present regime as senior producer); however, I always felt like David Shaughnessy's vision (especially as a director) was stronger for Y&R. His Y&R had a darker, richer look that I feel like Scott never had, especially in the high-definition era.
    • That would be key; I know they have a "Tribeca" set that's active at the moment, so they could easily use the exterior of that set and then create "indoor" sets on the next set budget. I think that'd be a key idea. I love the community lots we presently have, although there is always room for more.

      Like, you cannot tell me that cannot be some kind of shopfront. Or even a salon front Serenity Beauty & Hair?
    • They really did; I know the transition wasn't as beautiful as many thought it should have been, but at least with Mulcahey at the helm, I felt like there was going to be resolve at some point... even if we didn't know what it was at the time. Seeing everyone turn against Sonny, except for Ava (with her mysteriously nefarious reasons), was beautiful to see. Plus, Mulcahey swiftly fixed Alexis' law license issue that had dragged on far too long. Again, was it perfect? No. But did I get a sense that Mulcahey, if given a true chance, could have done some effective changes? Yes. Very glad to know I am not alone in this, and yes, Harper's chemistry with Sawandi Wilson's Isaiah has been lovely. But it seems like every time there is a viable match, TPTB nix it before it can truly begin.
    • Reading all the theories here and on twitter.  Someone wondered if June is connected to Leslie? So now we have June possibly connected to Hayley, to Samantha&Tyrell, or to Leslie. I love that we don't know! To be honest, the first time she aired, I didn't think June was connected to any major character.  I thought she was simply a client who might prove to have an interesting backstory as part of the "have-nots".   But then June dropped the photograph, so that has to be an anvil or mean something.
    • Thanks for the factoid, that's so interesting! (The character, though, was not, LOL. Ridiculous storyline). You know what? Even though he was a core family member, I think you are right. I would much rather they had kept Alan Michael on the canvas to represent the second Spaulding generation. (Of course, they would have had to write some good stories for the character, which, who knows if they would/could have). Reva, yes, I agree. Her shelf life expired when she drove that car off the bridge. The ever increasing desperation to keep her character relevant after she came back was very difficult to watch.
    • I don't suppose you have that August 4, 1995 episode @soapfan770 has with Hope throwing Nikki out of The Newman Ranch?
    • I have taken extremely long breaks from the show because of Sonny and I didn’t watch in the 90’s so I didn’t realize this was a crutch the show used all the time. Hell even though Maurice hates it, it was the most I could tolerate Sonny because he was written as the ass.hole he actually is at his core. His meds working again don’t erase all the characters I’ve either liked or accepted that I had to watch he and Jason murder and somehow come out as the good guys.
    • When I saw the pic of two kids on a stoop, I immediately though it was Samantha and Tyrell but that could be a red herring. The picture is quite old so maybe it is Hayley and June. This would help to bring Naomi back into Hayley and Bill's orbit. If June is Tyrell and Samantha's mother, that story would seem to be a dead end - unless Martin and Smitty adopted them through improper means. I did wonder if Anastasia is who Shanice has been chatting with during her shift. Her line to Ted about making her mouth even bigger? I was scandalized. Anastasia has to return soon.
    • I would DIE if Shanice’s mom lived beyond the gates and was just as messy I loved her so much. Give. Me. More. Absolutely loved this scene. Looking forward to more bonding between them. She is such a find. If her agents are smart, they’re booking her on bigger things as soon as possible. I want to see her blow up. She is THAT good to me. Ambyr and Trisha are the stars of this show for me and why I watch. Bingo. This show actually feeling like a soap that moves has made it so hard for me to watch the others anymore. I love you Thank god you said this. I wish we’d stop taking the bait but this needed to be said. White male leads cheat ALLLLLLLL the time. But this poster seems to think omg two black men that cheated decades apart are about to set us back somehow. I’m about to add them to the ignore list with Donna, I’m sick of the baiting. This was perfectly stated. Preach my friend, preach. As for yesterday’s episode I loved it. The show is handling the fall out from the Eva reveal so damn well for me. And I LOVED that Ted final scene holding Eva’s hand. I guess I’m in the minority since the recast announcement was made but I will miss Maurice and his chemistry with all of his costars as Ted and really wish he could’ve played the entire fall out of the story.
