I agree.

However she very well deserves the title she has been given for the damage she caused. She far and away the worst writer to ever hit daytime. The only writer who may have caused more damage is MMT, or JER -- however they also gave a lot. LML gave nothing and took away almost everything.

I'm gonna expand a little on what MarkH was saying about LML. I don't think that LML, or any other writer/producer/etc, is evil or bad people, unless they've done things or said thing in public that shows a lot about their character. Jean Passanante, for example...I don't know anything about her. I know that she's turned ATWT to [!@#$%^&*] over the last couple of years, but I'm not gonna call her Pissy or other things like that. As far as I know, me and her could go get drunk together and have a damn good time.

LOL, I wasn't trying to single anybody out. Everybody has nicknames for their not-so-favorite TPTB. Pissy, McTrash/McTravesty, JERk, Paul Roach, Dena Hackley, etc. I don't care if people use them and sometimes they're hilarious, but it's not me. If it was someone who made some really messed up comments to the press, though, then yeah, I have no problems going off. Why has there been no vulgar nickname for his sick, sad ass?

More:

-Elizabeth Hubbard is so underrated it is criminal. She is better than Maura and Martha and easily right up there with Susan Flannery as far as talent

-The current younger cast of GL is a tad underwhelming (Caitlin, Marcy, Mandy, EJ, John Driscoll). I miss the days of Aubrey Dollar, Brittany Snow, Matthew Bomer, Bethany Joy Lenz, Tammy Blanchard, and Hayden P

-In 2009 Sharon Case has turned in much better performances than Michelle Stafford has

-Kelly Monaco sucked on both PC and GH

-Rick Hearst, Ricky Paul Goldin and Christian LeBlanc are all interchangeable, equal in talent (good but not great), and tend to play characters as slightly effeminate.

-Van Hansis has always been a mediocre actor and Luke and Noah are dull together and individually

-Michael Easton is a terrible actor but does love scenes better than any other male in daytime, including Joshua Morrow

-The younger set of both ATWT and GH are so unbelievably dull and lifeless

-Melody Thomas Scott is an okay actress but she has a ton of charisma and plays Nikki to a "T"

-I can't stand Jon Lindstrom as Craig on ATWT

-Lynn Herring was very underrated while Genie Francis has always been overrated and did nothing but cry all day long (she's like KKL, her reaction to everything is tears that don't and never have moved me)

-Paolo Seganti is much more charismatic and appealling than Michael Park and Grayson McCouch combined

-Gina Tognoni is currently the best actress in daytime under the age of 40, but when she was on OLTL she was barely tolerable

-Robin Christopher and the character of Skye never belonged on GH

-Jess Walton is shaping up to be the best actress of 2009 and she's always had the coolest voice in daytime

-Crystal Chappell is likely to be better than your favorite actress, she's that good and vastly underrated

-Eric Braedan hasn't given a good performance on Y&R in at least 8 years

-While I enjoy MAB, the way she writes the Winters family is just awful, nobody has been able to write that family well since Bill Bell and the HIV story with Olivia and Nathan

I'd say that she and Marj Dusay share that title now, but historically it belonged to Beverlee McKinsey. :D

I'll add that I loved Jeanne Cooper's voice when she was still smoking (which I know is horrible), but it's funny how Jill has pretty much inherited Kay's old voice. I loved Kay always flashing her red talons as she talked with that vinegar and rusty nails voice of hers.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

      ) Mark Dante operated on Jeff? Also, I was under the impression that Jeff shot himself accidentally. In his drunken stupor he saw Rick and Monica together and he thought hevwas shooting at them.
