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?

-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 loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
