AMC: B&E rewriting history again

[brimike]

To be fair (oh man, am I putting my flame-retardant clothes on for THIS one), there are people whose sole job at AMC is to catch things like this in the scripts. Yes, the head writers should have been on top of it, but I think when these shows were being written (mid-strike) B&E probably had bigger fish to fry.

I can blame them for a lot, but this sounds more like an innocent mistake that I blame numerous people in the studio for letting slip past. I wouldn't quite put it in the Josh category yet. (I consider the Josh-rewrite to be up there in the top THREE worst history rewrites of all time, with Victor Lord being alive on OLTL and the pre-90's whitewashing of Laura's rape on GH [before they did the Lucky reveal with it] when everyone conveniently forgot, in order to prop up Luke)

I don't think B&E caan use the strike as an excuse, as they both were writing through it. They are just terrible at writing AMC. It was a bad choice all around by ABCD to hire them.

[brimike]

That's another matter altogether. :-)

I'm just referring to this one slip-up. Clearly, it wasn't something they changed for story purposes (as other posters have pointed out). I blame them for A LOT that's wrong with AMC these days, but this seems (to me, at least) as a case of EVERYONE being asleep on the job.

But if you want to talk about the mistake of hiring them in the first place, I'm happy to go off on a twenty-plus post at great lengths.

Aren't those all the people who were replaced by scabs? Really it's only a minor thing--they shoulda changed killed to "Mona let him die"... It doens't bug me as much as all you I'm with Brimike here

[JackPeyton]

LOL. Didnt they use WIKI? or did another writer say that? LML?

[R Sinclair]

Of all the things to get upset about...

[DevotedToAMC]

I would hope that dumb broad Latham would use Wiki....because, at one point on her profile, someone wrote that she was a "hack writer"

I kid you not

[DevotedToAMC]

Don't just stop there, EK70. Eric Kane will be alive, have a medical degree, a license to practice medicine, and in his spare time (in between directing movies) he saved all the wonderful fetuses of the world and transplanted them into other mindless women

[JackPeyton]

lol.

i dont remember exactly who, but some writer admited to using wiki for the history of the show

[DevotedToAMC]

With the untalented head writers they have these days (save whoever is headwriting B&B and OLTL's Ron Carlivati), I wouldn't be shocked if they all used Wiki

[R Sinclair]

All while selling his illegitimate children into child pornography and their mothers into white slavery on the black market, rapidly de-aging just to be able to make Erica even younger.

[DevotedToAMC]

But let's not stop there! Eric Kane is really in charge of the black market, was really the one who took Yvonne Cadwell's baby when she sold it and not Mr. Big (Les Baxter), just so happens to have saved the fetus of John Remington since his mother had to abort him due to medical reasons, and it just so happens that Eric Kane is also in charge of the black market that Adam intended to sell baby Jenny to in order to get revenge on Tad/Krystal.

LMAO you guys, don't give B&E any ideas

[Pine Charles]

Richard Fields was funny.... well, as funny as a pedophile can be. I liked when Kendall brought him to town and wheeled him around in that wheelchair everywhere she went.... and he always called her "poppet".

[EricMontreal22]

Hahah I knwo many fans hated that whole rewrite but I loved every minute
