I hope Michelle Pratick comes back!!

my pick to join the Y&R is Frederick Johnson who is now with One Life To Live. he has ties to Hogan Sheffer both at Days and As the World Turn and has also worked at the Y&R and William J. Bell.

my hope is that if it is Frederick Johnson and he jumps to the Y&R that could hopeful lead to Scott Hammer being pushed out.

I agree, he would be great there, I wondered why they didn't snap him up after DAYS fired most of their writing team and Hogan went to Y&R.

I wonder if it's whitesell that's leaving days. hes the only one that I know of that was brought with ties to both. Love these teasers. Really looking forward to Y&R's trial writers. Like everyone else, y fix what's not broken? But I trust Ms. Bell knows what she is doing. It shows in the episodes for sure. I do like Hogan's work on the show. Y&R has the BEST WRITERS on soaps right now.

So here are my guesses so far:

AMC:

Michelle Patrick in

ATWT

Leslie Nipkow in

Gordon Rayfield out

Y&R

Gordon Rayfield in as Breakdown writer

Amanda Beall in as Breakdown writer

Judy Tate in as scriptwriter

DOOL

Rick Draughon out

^Rick Draughon is a good guess for the fired DAYS writer. He's been bounced around on that writing staff for a good year now, so it's possible they don't want him anymore.

Y&R:

1 Writer was bumped up from scripts to breakdowns

I'll assume it's Amanda L. "Heels, puddle, splat" Beall.

AMC:

Writer IN (Clue: Returning writer)

We all know I want Michelle Patrick back at AMC! I want to hear these characters speak with heart again!

Michelle Patrick has worked with Pratt before, no? At GH? Also, I had heard she had a falling out with someone at GH which is why she returned to AMC a few years back.

Michelle debunked that rumor on her ITZ interview last August. She didn't leave GH by choice. Brian Frons called her up and basically said, and I'm paraphrasing, "as of next week you're going to AMC." She said she didn't know exactly why but said she did know that Megan McTavish was really itching to get her at that time.

So, maybe Megan threatened to publicize those much rumored "Frons in the Barnyard" photos and he transfered Michelle's contract? But she said she had no falling out with anybody at GH... and if there was a falling out regarding her, she wasn't aware.

Karen Lewis also fits that criteria, but seeing as she never worked with Pratt, I don't know if he would hire her.

If I'm not mistaken, Karen Lewis retired altogether.

Toups its MONDAY!

Yes, we're waiting!

...with baited breath!

Toups said he'll reveal it at 11:59PM PST.

BTW, YRBB, this is Suleiman the First.

Alright, since there's a lot to get to, I'll slowly reveal them (probably every 10-15 minutes).

First up.......

Y&R:

Okay help me out here, Who the hell is Theresa Zimmerman?

Someone from the Bell universe that wrote primarily for B&B in the 90's, and early 00's. She wrote scripts there too, and allegedly she wrote for Y&R for a brief period (though I'm not sure, as is Toups).
