Members bellcurve Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 One of AW's post-strike hires? Donna Swajeski, Mimi Leahey? Fired Days Writer: Richard Cullington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 For DAYS, the cynic in me says its Richard Culliton gone. However, Tomlin & Whitesell edged out Jodie Scholz, so that just leaves Cydney Kelly as the sole Hogan Sheffer survivor on the soap. So it may be her meaning all traces of Sheffer are gone. It would also mean no more female SWs on the soap, which strikes me as odd. If I could pick one SW to get rid of, I'd go for John Newman and his B**tch, Sl*t, wh**e tourette's syndrome induced scripts. For the in writer, I'm guessing either an SuBe or OLTL alum like Michelle Poteet Lisanti (sp.). Maybe we could luck out and get Lorraine Broderick but given her history with the show, I doubt it...

Members R Sinclair Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Awww! Reminds me of the days when I used to say the same about that horrible script writer Amanda L. Beall. I feel your pain, SoS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 You know, there are pills for this! On topic, I'd say Zimmerman too. Though I actually enjoyed her episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Here are my guesses: DAYS Writer OUT: Cydney Kelley DAYS Writer IN: Michelle Poteet Lisanti OLTL Writer OUT: Michelle Poteet Lisanti OLTL Writer IN: Karen Lewis Y&R Writer OUT: Tom Casiello (You know the rule, folks: "Last hired, first fired.")

Members SouthOfSoap Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Aw thanks. I think that Newman is just lazy and opts for profanity rather than intelligent dialogue that *might* appear well thought out. The weird part is that his mommy (Fran Myers) edits his scripts, so she seems to be ok with that. Or maybe she just washes his mouth out with soap afterwards lol. I kind of got the impression that Beall laboured for a long time to make her scripts sound "cool" and natural (leading them to be the exact opposite - her scripts seemed false or laboured. Yes, laboured is the right word.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 4, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted May 4, 2009 So far the only correct predictions are: Michelle Poteet Lisanti OUT at OLTL and IN at DAYS. This was so predictable since she and Tomiln are BFFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Is Paula Cwikly still around anywhere? I can't say I remember seeing her name in a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 She's still at Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Is she writing much? I honestly am not remembering seeing her name much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Glad Culliton and Kelley are staying put at DAYS. Too bad Newman is too. For the next guess, I'm going to have to go with Rene Godelia. Or Jean Marie Ford Grunwell lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Y&R: Mike Cohen out? I doubt they'd let any of the writers go that were there for a longer time. Since it's not Zimmerman or Casiello, it's got to be Cohen, or Lisa Connor. Of course she is. She's writing 3-4 episodes a month on average.

Members Khan Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 It's also good she's back at DAYS, I think. Not that DAYS ever had brilliant scripts back then, but I did enjoy her (and Mike Cohen's) work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 4, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted May 4, 2009 Correct! So this leaves Cydney Kelly has the only Sheffer holdover. Correct! She's gonna be writing breakdowns. I thought for sure when she would eventually join DAYS it would be for scripts since DAYS only has 4 SWs. But of course they have the workhorse, Richard Culliton, who can just crank out scripts - 7 in March and 8 in April. So I guess they don't need a 5th SW.

Members Khan Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well, that leaves the "OLTL Writer In". And so far, all we know is that she has been writing since "at least the '80's," per Toups. Man, I wish it were Nancy Curlee; but it's probably someone like (N.) Gail Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
