what do we think of Courtney Simon?

One of the best Script Writers EVER, and Nancy Curlee loved her scripts, so that's more than enough for me.

Why do you ask?

Agreed. I'm a big fan.

SOS got a soap writer for an interview and i had no idea who he was so i went to wiki and seen he was on the final AW team and seen Court;s name and it stuck out to me so i asked

She's Peter Simon's wife, btw, he's most famously known as Ed Bauer on GL.

Everyone is a fan. Everyone.

But, brimike, you forgot a but, didn't you?

And her daughter is a fine SW herself.

Me? What was my "but"?

I love Courtney's work. I always have.

And I agree - Kate is fantastic!

RE: her editing over at ATWT.

ATWT has a decent writing team, but the HW's on the other hand - absolutely horrible.

The dialogue isn't the problem with ATWT per se, it's the stories, IMO.

RE: her editing over at ATWT.

I like her as an editor. I think she's done a great job, especially with this absurd rule to have 40+ scenes per episode. Trying to get information AND emotion out in scenes no longer than two pages has to be a real pain in the ass.

Did I say once I didn't like her as an editor? I know I posted something once about being disappointed in Carolyn Culliton as an editor over at OLTL. Is that what you're referring to?

Everyone who reads this thread, get your asses in the Entertainment News and Editorials forum to read the interview Toups conducted with Nancy Curlee.

Dan and I contributed some questions - talk about a dream come true.

great interview with NC. did you guys ask if she was ever asked to return to GL or another soap?

Thank you, because I had totally missed it. I read it and felt like crying, even though I have never seen her stuff. Not because the woman was--obviously--brilliant. But because I so wish daytime had writers like her today. How very needed.

Y&R:

- Janice Ferri Esser back listed as Occasional Script Editor April 13

I know Marla Kanelos and Amanda Beall weren't liked by some AMC fans, but I have comment on their recent breakdowns. Marla's April 13 episode had some fantastic scenes with Phyllis (the "I hate you" scene and the Nick/Sharon sex/Phyllys going nuts montage). Amanda's April 14 had two very good Nick/Phyllis scenes when Nick

asks for a separation

- I thought Mike Cohen did a good job in those scenes too.

Beall's last five or six episodes have all been stand-outs, in my mind. That one right after Billy and Chloe's wedding was SPECTACULAR. (The quiet one, with Kay/Murphy in bed, and Jack/Nick at the bar, and Sharon/Phyllis talking)

(R Sinclair is sharpening his claws as he reads this. LOL!)
