Members R Sinclair Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Well, I have to say that I feel Pratt's done a decent job in giving James Khan and Kimberly Hamilton assignments. I didn't hate either of their works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 He's definitely hiring writers who have long-term breakdown experience, as well as scripts. That's a very good thing for AMC right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 It definitely wasn't like Courtney Bugler or Lynsey Darfur who both sucked right out the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 Exactly. It's a smart move, as Guiding Light is the only other show that worked off the "no breakdown" template. They've been doing it for years, so when these writers went to AMC, there's no "learning on the fly", like there was for the previously established AMC script team.

Members MarkH Posted September 17, 2009 Members Share Posted September 17, 2009 Y'all saw the Rex M. Best interview (link courtesy of WLS today)? Very cool spin on the Guiding Light story...talk about the fear in the surving writers. He looks so different from the previous pictures I posted here ( http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/23892-the-directors-and-writers-thread/page__view__findpost__p__617286 ). Here is the interview source, and the text of it: http://www.newsobser...ry/1692709.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LeClerc Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Part of an interview with Jill Lorie Hurst from today's Detroit Free Press coverage of GL's end: That's too bad. Hurst is probably the only one of those four who might actually benefit another soap's writing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members R Sinclair Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 AMC: Christopher Dunn appeared in the AHW credits today's show #10215.

Members R Sinclair Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 According to Toups for the last several months, he's the writer from Guiding Light that Chuck Pratt has been hoping to get after GL was no more. He didn't take anyone's place in today's credits. written by Addie Walsh Daran Little Tracey Thomson Christopher Dunn Jeff Beldner And James Khan returned with today's script. Toups, my dear (and Kubla), any info on whether Khan and Hamilton are on trial, fill-ins for writers on vacation/maternity leave (Hall, Cohen) or permanent additions?
