Another thing about Sarnoff, did anyone notice that VIRTUALLY ALL of the Fi-Core writers during the strike were/are repped by Jim Sarnoff? Most of them at least...

I don't trust this guy at all...

Shooters? <perks up> Mass quantities of alcohol should be involved.

This thread is making me crack up. Just what I needed today.

I swear, Ed Scott and "the diva" are like Pinky & the Brain, attempting to take over the world.

Bingo.

This is so much more entertaining and gripping than anything on any of the soaps right now.

Yes it is. It would make a great soap

This should be the story for the next Nancy Drew book.

"Nancy Drew and the case of the Duplicitous Entertainers"

Bingo.

Okay, but can you detail WHY that is a bingo?

In other words, what is the implication about what this agent might have done to keep his people employed. Is it that he encouraged his people to go Fi-Core, and brokered deals with the shows to protect them against repercussions? Or what?

Or is it just that he's the big west coast agent for soap writers...and so because he controls the "denominator", he places the most people?

Followup: Lost in this thread for me is whether Higley quit or not...and whether that resignation was accepted or not....

If she called the WGA on her boss' shop, I can't imagine he'd still be happy to have her around....

Can someone explain to me who Jim Sarnoff is?

The guy is an unethical basket case, to hell with what the union thinks, as long as Sarnoff can profit from a deal then it's all fine...

I wouldn't be surprised to find out if some of the people who were rewriting Dena's work uncredited happen to be Sarnoff clients...

He definitely has some part in this.

I am so GLAD!

wouldnt it be hilarious if MST of YR was the mastermind writing days of our lives lol...

And they're all true.

I second that, as someone who knows it very well. Sarnoff has no ethics whatsoever, and without him, the strike would have been a lot more difficult for the soaps to handle. He reps both the EPs and the writers... how is that not conflict of interest? Oh, right. It is. Not technically, but in a small pond like daytime... it's amoral. But then again... agents...

Sylph and I are a team...

We are!

Moe and Curly?

But wasn't Dena one who continued writing during the strike? If so, sounds like karma to me.

I want to know who the "Diva" was that was writing the show with Ed Scott.

I would say Dee Hall considering she's had aspirations behind the camera for a while now...wasn't one of the reasons she came back to DAYS because she was promised she could Executive Produce a spinoff that never materialised? I would say, considering they were veering towards John and Ava and now suddenly Ava is on her way out, that Dee is a definite possibility.
