Not happened in credits yet:

- Y&R: Diane Messina-Stanley IN

- Y&R: Diane Messina-Stanley OUT

As glad as I am to see this development, it looks weird to me nevertheless, lol.

(Oh, and Toups? Two 'n''s in "Dianne".)

He sure is......hmmmm......

But, he was one of the last remains of the Latham era

There's only one left now....Scott "Murder Mystery" Hamner.

What was the point of Diane taking on this job if she was going to leave 2 minutes afterwards anyway? :rolleyes:

I believe she just helped out. Sort of like the recent return (and departure again) of Leslie Nipkow to ATWT. Sometimes shows need help for some reason (to get further ahead, vacations, hiatus, etc) and they just hire for the short term.

If you'll notice, ATWT doesn't really work off of a long story anymore anyway. Their storylines only last about six-to-eight weeks, and pretty much have a beginning, middle, and an end. (One story doesn't grow out of the previous one. They're all disconnected from each other for the most part.)

For that reason alone, all three of 'em - Goutman, Passanante and Laiman - need to go. Whoever heard of a soap opera with disconnected stories (I'm not talking to you, PORT CHARLES fans)?

Okay. David Cherrill and the Stanleys were guesses. Nothing more. Anyone looking to me to keep making serious, accurate predictions would be wise to read tea leaves instead.

NO!

I don't drink the former, and I sold the latter on ebay.

:lol: OK, fine. You had your chance to obliterate JHC. Or even bring back Agnes Nixon as headwriter.

With Lisa de Cazotte joining the production team and likely assuming the EP duties soon, I think we'll be seeing some new producers and directors at AMC. I know she re-used a lot of the old Passions producing team at Night Shift 2. If those same people are up to switching coasts, we might see some of them working for AMC.

As for writer's, Pratt seems to like what he has for now, and thankfully, AMC dodged a bullet by not picking up Dufour after her trial period.

And replace her with who? Chances are, whoever any of us wants to replace JHC, either 1) they won't commute, or 2) they won't want the gig. Frankly, if we get Lisa de Cazotte, we'll be lucky.

And as for Agnes Nixon returning in any capacity (other than occasional guest star)? As Dorothy Zbornak would say, she doesn't even leave fingerprints anymore! I (heart) Aggie, but she needs the rest!

A bullet? More like the Baracq firing squad. I'm just sorry it wasn't Marina Alburger, b/c there are about a thousand Nordstrom's jokes we could tell right about now.

I think some of them will. Karen Wilkens, Jim Sayegh, Mary-Kelly Weir and Richard Schilling all worked on east coast soaps before.
