Now all the posts are gone

Well.....for those who thought 2009 was going to be calmer....it's not starting that way! LOL There's already been a flurry of action going on.....so let's get started for the January teasers!

- CBS: 2 Writers OUT

I'm sure you can guess which soap it is.........It's the show that keeps on giving (to this thread).

Let's see what 2009 will have in store for us!

^Past Directors/Writers threads are achieved in the Profiles: Writers, Directors, Producers forum.

Anyone with any wishes for this year?

I hope Guza and JFP are fired at GH, and Goutman and Passanante are fired at ATWT.

I hope this is a more stable year behind the scenes for Y&R, and OLTL gets some decent dialogue writers as well, if possible.

My three wishes are:

- DAYS: Dena Higley last listed as Head Writer on..........

- GH: Robert Guza Jr last listed as Head Writer on........

- GH: Karen Harris and Michele Val Jean first listed as Co-Head Writers on.....

- CBS: 2 Writers OUT

I'm sure you can guess which soap it is.........It's the show that keeps on giving (to this thread).

Yay! Hopefully two of the bad ones!

- CBS: 2 Writers OUT

I'm sure you can guess which soap it is.........It's the show that keeps on giving (to this thread).

LOL! I spoke too soon! Is Maria firing more scriptwriters? I thought she'd be happy with what she has right now.

I can't see Esser, Weintraub, or Eric Freiwald & Linda Schreiber going anywhere. Could she be getting rid of Amanda L. Beall and Melissa Salmons? If hope Salmons isn't out, I don't think her cycle is up yet, and she's written some very good scripts.

Hmm, if its not from the scriptwriting team, could Beth Milstein and/or Marla Kanelos be out? I doubt Natalie Minardi Slater would get fired.

When do you plan to reveal these teasers, Toups?

I only have one wish, for Rebecca Taylor's sorry script writing ass to get pink slipped.

Melissa Salmons? If hope Salmons isn't out, I don't think her cycle is up yet, and she's written some very good scripts.

I was thinking the same thing, too. Salmons I think is one of the main candidates and I hope she's not the one. IA she's turned in some very good stuff.

Here are my wishlist for 2009

Michelle Patrick back listed as Assosicate Head Writer on.......

Julie Hanan Carruthers last listed Executive Producer on......

Let's have a good 2009!

And so it begins.....

Hmmmm, I really hope it isn't Melissa Salmons that's out. When will we know who it is?

My guess is Jay Gibson and Scott Hamner.

Glad to see Diana Stanely going to Y&R will she be a script writer? I love her work. And Toups when u say writers are out do u mean head writers?

My three wishes are:

- DAYS: Dena Higley last listed as Head Writer on..........

- GH: Robert Guza Jr last listed as Head Writer on........

- GH: Karen Harris and Michele Val Jean first listed as Co-Head Writers on.....

As I have already said in the 2009 wishes thread..........

OUT:

ATWT: Goutman,Passanante,Laiman and Simon out.

GL: Wheeler and the Gang of Four (the HW's out.)

IN:

ATWT:

Paul Rauch,EP

Lorraine Broderick,HW

Hal Corley,CO-HW

Susan Dansby,Script Editor

GL:

Millee Taggart,EP

Millee Taggart,HW

Richard and Carolyn Culliton,Co-HW

Jill Lorie Hurst,Script Editor

My wish is that Pratt does something with the AMC team. What a boring transition this has been.

Also: Hal Corely in at AMC, and Lisa Hesser out less than a month after she starts. Ideally she never starts at all.
