Members VelekaCarruthers Posted May 23 Members Share Posted May 23 The Corringtons were never successful head writers beyond SFT with Mary Bunim as producer. They should have left all three at SFT for more years. The Corringtons were hired to replace Hall/Slesar in 1984 and lasted a few months; they were hired on Capitol and lasted less than a year and GH in 1982 (by Monty no less) and lasted a few months. Joyce was brought into GL by Phelps several months after Curlee quit but she didn't last (I think she consulted/wrote breakdowns/edited scripts). Joyce also spent time on Santa Barbara but that also lasted six months or less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted Tuesday at 09:15 PM Members Share Posted Tuesday at 09:15 PM #NATAS #theemmysorg #DaytimeEmmys #BeverleeMcKinsey Today I have received an email reply from the President & CEO of NATAS. That is the Daytime Emmys organization. Adam Sharp apologized for not replying sooner & cited their busy season. As we know the Daytime Emmy presentation was just the other day. He acknowledged that Beverlee McKinsey's contributions to our industry were indeed vast. As it turns out NATAS has a policy against awarding Posthumous Emmys. He ended by saying Thank you nonetheless for your efforts to shine a light on Beverlee's career & for your celebration of the soap community more broadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dc11786 Posted 16 hours ago Members Share Posted 16 hours ago The Corringtons also worked on "Rituals" briefly during the pre-production period in 1984. I think they wrote a bible for the show that I have some pages of and discussed briefly in the thread for that show. In looking at the 1980 summaries of "Search for Tomorrow," I found the period where it becomes clear they are leaving (February-early May), a bit of a drag because the stories are clearly stalling other than the drug plotline involving the Boilmaker and Beau Mitchell. They even seem to scrap the setup for a Liza / Travis / Allison Snowden triangle. I enjoy early "Texas" from what I've seen (August-November, 1980). I think there was a lot of potential in that foundation and I am sorry they didn't get to see it through a bit longer. If they could have survived long enough to make it through the strike, I am curious where things would have gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
