Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2008 Someone posted this at DR, I don't know how true this is. I assume it's Griffith, since he's Y&R's current EP and it's been speculated that's he's out of there soon. Though, John F. Smith was both HW and EP of Y&R for a time. However, Smith hasn't been at Y&R since 2006, he's now at B&B (and I doubt his contract cycle is up there). Heard anything regarding this, Toups?

Members Dan Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 The thing about Y&R I don't understand is that Maria is a Bell for God's sake. Her hubby is the president of the family business that still has retained some ownership in the show I believe. if Griffith was engaging in this unethical behavior, I DOUBT Maria would have just let it happen. Hate to double post like this. But I have to say that here I thought GL was badly produced. Compared to this DAYS mess, Ellen Wheeler is running a tight ship.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 She probably had no control over the matter and Griffith could've easily changed things while he was in the booth supervising the show. There's been speculation that many have wanted Griffith fired for a long time. I guess this is part of the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 ....But which one on the list is the "True" HW of Days? Isnt that a scary thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XxTaraXx Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 Me too. Personally, I think he meant divo. Joe Mascolo has been the HW for a while now. Why else would Stefano be offscreen? JM's been a busy boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 Yeah, soaps are, by their very nature, a collaborative business. There's nothing wrong with that, and the WGA wouldn't find anything wrong with that. What they do take issue with is when non-WGA people who were not hired to be writers write long term storylines and full episodes with NO collaboration involved with the head writers or writing team. That's the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tishy Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'll be here all evening Khan... Psst...the HW is really Henderson, Victor's butler... Seriously though, if this person or persons is writing entire storyline and not just throwing a line in here and there, big problems. I would love to be a fly on that wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't want this terrific post to wither on the vine. I really think this poster raises remarkable questions about historical abuses, and why THIS one is being pursued. My guess? Revenge for the mass-firings during the strike. I want to see just HOW revised these scripts are, and I'd like a judgment about whether the alleged revisions exceed usual and customary practice by EPs and actors. I'm guessing this is not going to hold up, actually.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 We are having fun at Dena Higley's Wikipedia page typing in ridiculous peoples names. Last time I look it was Terry. I put in Precious the Monkey. LOL. I am guessing the WGA is defending Higley because nothing has been proven and will probably never be proven so they have to defend her.

Members jeg027 Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 Here is a interesting post over on "The Envelope" where Nelson posts also. Cindi Posted July 28, 2008 11:30 AM Hide Post I don't think it's Josh Griffith who's re-writing Maria Bell's stuff. I think it's Eric Braeden. There were already rumors about that. I'd also like to know where this is coming from. If it's the Corday/Higley camp trying to discredit a long time EP, who's never been accused of anything like this, I say shanangans. Hackley almost distroyed OLTL, she wasn't even professional enough to watch OLTL before or after the got the headwriter job. On Days she got rid of Belle & Shawn, had Sami sleep with her rapist, and lied about scabbing. I don't believe them. ETA - I spoke to a WGA friend this morning and this was his take on it: He thought it sounded more like Higley was trying to diffuse the WGA investagation into her scabbing by using bullsh!t disinformation to take the heat off herself. I guess if it works for Carl Rove and Bush. Also, if she can do an end-run and discredit Scott, then his testimony regarding her to the WGA won't have the same merit. He thought it was a very calculated and desperate move by Higley. This message has been edited.
