Wow, great interview... He was definitely disappointed with more than a couple of decisions made in his absence. Can't wait to have him back to do the magic.

Great interview

I love how he has things planned out and how he says that many of his plans changed during February/March....

Loved the honesty and how he really seems to have a grip on how to make good soap-opera! Thanks for posting!

I read the interview last night. ...thought it was a good honest inteview. I really like Ron

Any place I could see it?

Jay! PM me this article. I wanna see it

Both Carlivati and Guza are all over the mags this week blaming the strike writers. So what's B&E's excuse?

He sure does!

It was a great interview. I'm looking forward to see what Ron has planned.

Some quotes I found interesting:

About Ramsey: "Now, since I was not here, he has his finger in every pie in Llanview, which could be a little Spencer-ish."

About Adriana: "I sort of love the bitchy Adriana, but it came out of nowhere for me."

About Blair: "I was worried about Blair the past couple of months. She seemed a bit of a doormat, and that's not Blair. May sweeps starts off with her starting to stand up and be the Blair we know and love."

About John/Talia/Antonio: "I was kind of over that story."

About Dorian/Langston: "Another thing I've seen lacking on screen is Dorian's relationship to Langston, which I think people really like. I don't think I've seen a scene between the two of them in two months. So we're going to make a point about it."

About Nash/Jessica/Sarah/Cris: "I found some of that strange, this flirtineess with Sarah.

This little tease you've been seeing is not going anywhere.

"

About February Sweeps: "I had big plans for Miles in February at the ball that was all connected to Allison's secret. The ball was written by us right before the strike and then that whole week was basically rewritten after we left. Allison was not supposed to go into a coma. Allison's DVD was not going to break. It was going to play and it was going to affect seven or eight people on the canvas. Unfortunately other decisions were made."

They don't have one!

For some reason B&E are keeping their lips zipped , they haven't a said peep since the strike ended in a longtime.

Are they really writing or sitting at home getting paid until their contracts run out?

From RPG's interview, they are still there. But something has definitely changed in the power distribution.

Did RPG actually say they met IN PERSON? I assumed they were writing from California. They must've moved back sometime after PC was cancelled.

I didn't read the interview, but someone here posted snippets of it. Evidently, Carruthers took him into the writers room to personally meet Babs & Jimbo. Agreed that something has changed behind the scenes. Whether Agnes is tweaking things, which is very, very likely, or Walsh is more involved, something has changed for the better. The show, barring the Ryan crapfest, has been pretty watchable of late, and this is not Babs & Jimbo's doing.

Interesting. I wonder if they have the writers working in the offices again. All of the "associate" HWs (Walsh, Beall, Beldner) are NYC based.
