Members brimike Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 And also surprising vulnerability. LK was AWESOME in the Lucas-changing-his-name stuff. If HS can do that with Jill, Kay, Phyllis and Lauren, I'll be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I would agree IF they told a rape storyline, but they didnt. Hogan used that ngith as a plot point to get heroine sami to get prego by ej. she changed long before that tho. she became the saint and heroine brady. she became carrie. sami was stripped of everything that made her sami. and the moment hogan left she got it back.

Members Sylph Posted June 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 An update: Head Writer Nancy Curlee Breakdown Writers Frederick Johnson Trent Jones -> he's not on my team, replacing him is Sara A. Bibel* Michael Minnis Rex M. Best Scriptwriters Beth Milstein + some others when I figure them out Story/Creative Consultant Jerry Birn (he's 85, I think, I don't know if this could work) * I like her more every day. She writes fluently, and I don't know why, but I was pleasantly surprised to see her talk about Sophocles' in her previous post; some writers wouldn't know Greek tragedy if it hit them with a brick.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 ^Sara's also written scripts, so she's not just a breakdown writer. But I personally wouldn't trade Trent for Sara, though I like her. I know experience means nothing to you, but Trent has that and has worked with greats like Claire Labine, Pam Long, Nancy Curlee Demorest, and Bill Bell. Oh, and I thought I told you that Nancy was now going by Nancy Demorest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 Didnt a lot of really crappy writers also work under them? im not saying he is because i have no idea, just saying that just because you trained under great people doesnt mean anything.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 Trent is a great writer, and has Co-HW experience at Y&R. His years as Kay and Jack's Co-HW are considered by many to be Y&R's best years post-Bill Bell. I see what you're saying though. Look at Megan McTavish, who has trained under Pam Long, Agnes Nixon, and Wisner Washam. How can anyone be that bad having worked under those people?

Members sudz4u Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 Love your list, but wasn't Rex M. Best a Y&R/B&B scriptwriter? Doesn't mean he couldn't be a brilliant breakdown writer, but I've always liked his dialogue. Why Michael Minnis??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well, yes. B&B does not have BDWs. So I presume he knows how to structure an episode. Presume being the keyword. He also worked for Y&R some time ago. Why not Minnis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted June 12, 2008 Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 If they'd ever be interesting in writing for daytime again, do you think Bridget and Jerome Dobson would be a good addition to Y&R? Or some other show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 12, 2008 Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 I think the Dobsons would be more suited at AMC...but Lord knows, GL needs them, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 13, 2008 Members Share Posted June 13, 2008 There's a certain high-brow quality to the Dobsons writing, which I think would work on Y&R. Their writing style can also be melodramatic and campy, some core elements of classic Y&R. They wouldn't be too bad a fit, I'd think. However, If I had it my way, the former GL writer we'd get would be the sensational Nancy Curlee Demorest, if she ever chooses to grace daytime television again.
