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?

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

- 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!)

    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success. 
    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?
