Administrator Toups Posted February 2, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted February 2, 2009 I was very surprised too. The conversation with Lisa probably went like this: Lisa's connection at Y&R (Marla Kanelos? Amanda Beall?): Hey, want to come write for Y&R? Lisa: Hell ya!! When do I pack my bags!! [not literally of course since writers don't have to move anymore] Lisa's connection at Y&R: Welcome to the #1 soap. Lisa: So long Goutman!!!!! I don't have to write your crap anymore.

Members dm. Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 So this will be the team after the Stanleys exit... Head Writers Maria Arena Bell Hogan Sheffer (co-h) Scott Hamner (co-h) Associate Head Writers (daily) Natalie Minardi Slater Marla Kanelos Beth Milstein Assoc./Breakdown Writers Jay Gibson Paula Cwikly Amanda L. Beall Lisa Connor Tom Casiello Script Writers Janice Ferri Esser Eric Freiwald & Linda Schreiber Sandra Weintraub Melissa Salmons Mike Cohen Teresa Zimmerman Do you maybe think Beall might do double-duty like she did on AMC? The best part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 I remember Lisa Connor at AMC. She was a producer there wasn't she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted February 2, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted February 2, 2009 I believe she just arrived at the end of Hogan's run at ATWT, so I don't think she knows him that well. Lisa knows Marla Kanelos and Amanda Beall from their AMC days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 AH! That is right. I always forget that Hogan Sheffer is a head writer at Y&R. Its always Maria in my mind. So really anybody from his stints at ATWT and DAYS could be contenders (if he liked them)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Producer, then moved to breakdown writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm guessing Maria is ready to fire a few more people when their contract cycles are over. Also, Zimmerman and Cohen are on trial, so who knows if she'll keep them when their trial period is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kubla Khan Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Remember Hogan came back as a BDW for nine months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 WHY? WHO? These would basically be writers she feel are not doing well? It is almost Maria's job to coach writers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yeah, he worked with Lisa when they were both BDW's. I'm most interested in AMC because whoever they hire needs to excel in breakdowns AND scripts, since rumor has it one writer has to do both on AMC episodes. I hope it's somebody with experience in both. And I only mentioned Barbara Bloom because Kanelos and Beall are both on the team, and they're both former PC'ers. I'm not saying they don't deserve their jobs - just they probably got hired by Bloom's recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm not eating lunch until I know who this AMC writer is. Toups is going to cause me to become emaciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yes. It's not her job to coach them, they should know what she expects from them and they should already have the knowledge to know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted February 2, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted February 2, 2009 I think so too. Maria "I will cut you" Bell is sharpening her axe. Oh yeah. I keep forgetting about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
