Noel Maxam is still with Days?

I think so. I hope Tomlin and Corday appreciates this young and talented director/producer. He's going to bring them the Daytime Emmy and Directors Guild awards!

Who is the "lead director" at DAYS? I assume it's Herb Stein or they really don't have one, usually it's up to the lead director or the whole team decides which episodes to submit at the Emmy's and the DGA's nominate a particular director and episode, don't they?

I still can't believe they let Denney and Foster go like that, who are superior directors to Maxam. Oh well, it's good that Denney returned to Y&R. I think the overall directing on DAYS has suffered MAJORLY since Tomlin replaced Scott, which is funny, since Tomlin is a director too.

BTW, DGA nomintions for television are announced on Friday. As usual, I expect all 3 ABC soaps and the awful P&G soaps to be nominated. It's funny, even when the old Y&R directing team did well at the Emmy's year after year, they never did all that well in terms of the DGA.

Yeah, it's Herb. He's been there forever like early 80's.

or they really don't have one, usually it's up to the lead director or the whole team decides which episodes to submit at the Emmy's and the DGA's nominate a particular director and episode, don't they?

Not sure how it works.

I still can't believe they let Denney and Foster go like that, who are superior directors to Maxam.

I think Denney and Foster were freelancing and that's why they didn't direct anything after Ed left.

Oh well, it's good that Denney returned to Y&R. I think the overall directing on DAYS has suffered MAJORLY since Tomlin replaced Scott, which is funny, since Tomlin is a director too.

I'm surprised Gary hasn't directed any episodes yet. He usually directs once and while when he's EP.

I'm just hoping DAYS/Noel Maxam gets nominated. DAYS had the single best directed episode in 2008.

Glad Lynsey Dufour is OUT!

lol, that was fast. I do agree that AMC has some big time issues with editing. I question some of their background music choices as well. That's all on JHC. The "look" wouldn't bother me so much if everything else was better.

[Herb Stein has] been there forever like early 80's.

Since when is early '80's "forever"? Toups, it's bad enough I'm turning 30 this year; don't make it any worse, lol!

SID is confirming that Lisa de Cazotte will be working under Carruthers

Waste of money for a show that's reportedly cutting the salaries of its stars down by 40%....

  • Member

WTF!?

I want JHC OUT! Like A-man said.....AMC is just wasting money.......

Working under? Why? There's got to be a long-term plan here. So did they fire someone who used to work under Carruthers so that they could hire Lisa? Or is this a newly created position? And I agree, hello, you just cut Susan Lucci's salary so that you can hire another producer? Why? :angry:

Off the subject (kind of), but did everyone see Branco's interview with Trevor St. John?

Dena fans will love it...

Best quote ever! Who do you think he voted for?

On another note, today's Y&R was terrific. Funny, light, lots of plot and character advancement.

Guess who wrote it? The script writer(s)? seemed to be Jay Gibson and Amanda Beall! Yup, she's doing just FINE at Y&R, IMO.
