Members SOAPONAROPE Posted December 29, 2009 Members Share Posted December 29, 2009 They are father and daughter. They've been with "Y&R" longer than any other writers, past or present. They write as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted December 29, 2009 Members Share Posted December 29, 2009 But Freiwald - allegedly - had a writing partner for years when he was writing for Lassie et al. And up until 2006 he was never credited as a writing duo on Y&R... Got any sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted December 29, 2009 Members Share Posted December 29, 2009 Before 2006, Y&R credited Freiwald and Schreiber separately. Even though they wrote as a team, Freiwald would be credited for several cycles, then Schreiber would get on-air credit. It was only duing LML's stint as head writer than writing partners showed up at Y&R and got joint credit. That's when Freiwald and Schreiber started being listed together.

Administrator Toups Posted December 30, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted December 30, 2009 Nice scoop! I still find it odd that they were never credited together before 2006. If they wrote together, whouldn't they have been credited? That's gotta be breaking some WGA rule or something. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted December 30, 2009 Members Share Posted December 30, 2009 It wouldn't be the first time some soap (or prime time show) has broken a WGA rule, though I'm sure it wasn't done purposely. Or perhaps the show (or Freiwald and his daughter) had a waiver from the Guild as far as on screen credit goes. Exceptions are always being made at the Guild, this might have been one of them.

Administrator Toups Posted December 30, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm sure you're right. The rotation of being credited was pretty weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted December 30, 2009 Members Share Posted December 30, 2009 I had a dream last night that I was a writer for All My Children and I was doing really well on the show and so Maria Arena Bell wanted to hire me away to write The Young and the Restless.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I know this is the last day of this thread, but has anyone read this article from the DGA?: http://www.dgaquarterly.org/BACKISSUES/Spring2009/TelevisionDaysofOurLives.aspx It's about what goes into the directing of a DAYS episode and all the people involved, there's pics of some directors and stage managers too...

Members Sylph Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I guess it's the continuation of what R Sinclair posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I'm pissed off All My Children ended the year with an atrocious script by Rebecca Taylor. Sht like that usually leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
