Members soapydoc Posted March 9, 2009 Members Share Posted March 9, 2009 When there is not a breakdown writer listed doesn't it mean that Hogan and or Maria did the breakdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 9, 2009 Members Share Posted March 9, 2009 It means Natalie Minardi Slater, Marla Kanelos, or Hogan Sheffer wrote the breakdown when no breakdown writer is credited. Maria doesn't do breakdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted March 9, 2009 Members Share Posted March 9, 2009 I never understood those Y&R credits. Why do some writers get credited for the breakdown and others do not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 9, 2009 Members Share Posted March 9, 2009 Because Natalie Minardi Slater and Marla Kanelos are listed everyday, since they're supposedly the Associate Head Writers, and of course Hogan is listed everyday being the Co-Head Writer. It's confusing as hell sometimes though. We never know who specifically wrote the breakdown for an episode where the breakdown writer isn't credited, unless of course someone has insider info on that.

Members R Sinclair Posted March 9, 2009 Members Share Posted March 9, 2009 Dammit! All throughout B&E's horrid year at AMC, I was hoping he'd go there... at some point... since he wrote scripts under them at Port Charles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted March 9, 2009 Members Share Posted March 9, 2009 Still confusing to me since the fact that when AMC used to credit breakdown writers (or, should I say, when AMC had that position to credit) they double-credited sometimes... in the instance of Miss Girl, Amanda L. Beall. She'd be credited among the AHW's even if she wrote the script to someone else's breakdown that day. It would appear: Written by HEAD WRITER Written by AHW AHW AMANDA L. BEALL AHW EDITOR Written by BREAKDOWN WRITER AMANDA L. BEALL I'm just using that dreaded name as an example because she was the only one who did that double-dipping crap... and it would piss me off, because when I saw her name in the AHW, I'd be like "Oh, good! It's not an Amanda L... WHAT THE HELL?!?! " This is getting too complex. I just say if you're gonna credit... credit. If not, then do what GH and OLTL does and just list the day's script writer. I know for a fact that Guza writes outlines on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MikeGoldy Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 Why can't Mike Cohen, Beth Milstein, and Richard J Allen return to DAYS? They all understood the show so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can't speak for Richard Allen...but Milstein and Cohen are both in much greener pastures at Y&R...why on earth would they leave willingly?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 Not sure if this is the right thread, but does anyone know if maybe GL is getting some kind of ghost consulting help from a veteran writer? As much as I am a real supporter of Ellen Wheeler, David Kreizman, and Jill Lorie Hurst, and really have enjoyed their work in the past, I am still somewhat in disbelief that GL is getting *this* amazingly good with the same writing team as ever.

Members brimike Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't think there's a consultant or anything. I just think they're being allowed to write "soap opera" again. Once the new production model kicked in, they seem shoehorn-ed into writing this daytime version of "The Hills", and clearly it was a story structure they just didn't understand. (Neither did most of their fans either) It seems to me the leash has been taken off, and they're allowed to write soap again (with the usual episodic structure to a soap), and clearly they are more familiar and more comfortable with it.
