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). :lol:

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.

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?

    • Not all friends are alike though and there should be a counterbalance in some friendships on soaps. Dani has already been all over the place enough and doesn't need an unstable friend.
    • I was finally warming up to Eva but today, that girl, what in the world was she thinking, crawling back to Mama saying she was under a lot of pressure. Pitiful. And, just what did she get for her trouble? Rebuffed, totally. Anastasia, she can go kick rocks. Who needs her & what was she wearing? I'm surprised to learn that some people did not have an appreciation of Dani & then Anita, right after, at Theodore's. I thought they were both right on the money & also sharp, witty.  Ted, of course, is playing at being Impervious Man, which is very funny & he takes it one step further, making all these declarations of his intent to woo Nicole back & win her trust again. I find myself laughing so hard at him & at how he has totally misread his circumstances. He has zero chance but wow he has so much confidence. This I find to be so humorous, possibly unintentionally so. 
    • They feel like a bad Three's Company parody.
    • The fact that there's so little action in the Y&R threads whereas I can barely keep up with the Beyond the Gates threads says a lot right there.
    • Im convinced that had Karen Huger not been in jail, Anastasia was meant to be her recurring role
    • @JAS0N47 Is Paulina's living room set new or repurposed?
    • Here's the Days ones: https://www.jason47.com/days/synopsesdsn1974A.html
    • I think Dani cares about her sister, but I agree with you. She's using this whole mess to be heard and make herself feel better. I wish Ted and Eva told her to fck off. I had to laugh when Dani commented on her and Anita confronting Ted. She acted as if they destroyed him. That's not what I saw. Dani has been dialed back from those first weeks, but I can't say she's likable. As long as she's throwing shade at Eva for her work as a hairstylist -- while ignoring that she did nothing except eat celery sticks and walk the runway -- she can kiss off. Barely tolerable, and Lindstrom is terrible in the role. I don't find him scary at all, and his money laundering plan is stupid as hell. I gagged when he texted Vanessa to ask if she was thinking about him. That's throw up time.   I just don't see how that makes Ashley any more interesting. And are we really asking for another storyline where a father connects with his adult daughter? I know there's no direct parallel to Eva's story, but come on. If you're in the minority, I'll join you. I have zero interest in any of that. -- I still fail to see Nicole and Vanessa as best friends. Nicole is grounded and stable and responsible, and Vanessa is not. It made more sense to have Dani and Vanessa being close. -- Ashley and Derek were actually OK today. I feel sorry for the actors, honestly, because they've been given nothing. It's crazy, because so much of the rest of the show is firing on all cylinders.
