Oh no, I don't want to cause that! Well then......

AMC:

- Michelle Patrick IN

Well, everyone guessed it. LOL I like this a lot. She's a great writer and has tons of history with AMC. Going from Lynsey Dufour to Michelle Patrick -- talk about 10 steps up! (no offense to Lynsey.....but it's Michelle Patrick!)

I can eat now! Thanks!

Great news!

Thanks Toups

I know....I know....I'm disappointed in myself. I should know Hogan's profile by heart. *hangs head in shame*

We forgive you.

LOL...I betcha she sits in the set of Victor's office when she fires people...hanging above the fireplace is a portrait of 'soon to be fired' writer.

MAB is a Libra, I'm guessing, and it doesn't go that way at all. The fact that she's a Libra explaing this inflate, makes-no-sense team.

LOL...I betcha she sits in the set of Victor's office when she fires people...hanging above the fireplace is a portrait of 'soon to be fired' writer. When it comes time to swing the axe, MAB gets up, strolls over to the fireplace, then smashes the portrait screaming 'I WILL CRUSH YOU'...also the 'Victor's Theme' music is playing through the loudspeaker.

OK but seriously, MAB must be gearing up to fire a few people, I would think BDW, there aren't a ton of scriptwriters...

If not the newbies, who is it that you think she could fire?

The daily-credited breakdowns (Kanelos, Milstein) or others (Gibson, Cwikly)?

I don't want her to touch Janice Ferri Esser, Eric Freiwald & Linda Schreiber, Paula Cwikly, Sandra Weintraub or Melissa Salmons.

I love Michelle Patrick and am thrilled she's back, but just to keep things in perspective (and be a buzzkill):

She was there for:

Madden being buried alive by Tad

Jeff/Erica

Colby's Sweet 16

Dixie's death- by-pancakes

Brooke's non-exit

Jonathan "they cut out the bad" L-L-L-L-avery

Ava Benton

"Crash"

Zach and Greenlee in the bomb shelter (and Kendall and Aidan's grief sex)

.....among other atrocities

Not that any of those were her idea or her fault but, like all staff writers, she writes what she's told to write, good or bad. (And in the case of the unabortion story we know, from her In the Zone interview, she thought it was a brilliant idea and would do it again!).

THANK GOD! Pratt picked the best writer he knows to join the staff.

I wonder what took Pratt so long.

Hilarious scenerio.

Now we have 2 writers who know AMC.

Jeff Beldner

Michelle Patrick

Wouldn't they make the perfect HW team for AMC.

I can eat now! Thanks!

Sorry for making you starve. LOL

I doubt Janice Ferri Esser, Eric Freiwald & Linda Schreiber, Sandra Weintraub, and Natalie Minardi Slater would ever be on Maria's chopping block. I think Maria knows they have a substantial history with the show, and if she hasn't gotten rid of them already, she won't.

Hopefully Tracy Thomson is on her way out, she's horrid

Wouldn't they make the perfect HW team for AMC.

That would rock!

Yeah, until they wrote a disagreement between Zach and Kendall.

Not that any of those were her idea or her fault but, like all staff writers, she writes what she's told to write, good or bad. (And in the case of the unabortion story we know, from her In the Zone interview, she thought it was a brilliant idea and would do it again!).

Yeah, that's true. I was disappointed that she agreed with the unabortion. She's a great script writer though.

Alvin, honey, why aren't you jumping from joy for the Michelle addition?

I said it was good news.

I'm not over the top, like some people, dear (well, at least not today).

I was actually remembering how shocked we were at that interview. That is why I asked.

I'd like to see what Michelle can do with the new writing structure at AMC. Didn't she say she liked, and felt like she was given more freedom as a script writer, back in the days when breakdowns were really short?
