Members MarkH Posted June 11, 2009 Members Share Posted June 11, 2009 The last credit on DOOL Wednesday said "Executive in Charge of Production: Greg Meng". 1. Is that a Sony guy? 2. Shouldn't it be Steve Kent? Or does this guy report to Steve Kent? In that case, what's Steve's title? 3. Is he new? I don't recall seeing that name before. 4. Why doesn't his name, or some Sony name, appear on the Y&R credits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 11, 2009 Members Share Posted June 11, 2009 Meng's the Executive In Charge for Corday Productions, and no he isn't new, his name has been in the DAYS credits for years. I think he probably handles the financial end of the show for Corday Productions. Steven Kent is the Senior Exec Vice President of Programming for Sony's two daytime dramas. His name doesn't appear in either of the show's credits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted June 11, 2009 Members Share Posted June 11, 2009 Okay, that helps. I was thinking Meng might be more like the P&G Executive used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted June 11, 2009 Members Share Posted June 11, 2009 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1107539/ In the 90s, I think it even read 'Executive In Charge Corday Productions Inc.' - putting this together with Nelson Branco's numerous quips about Corday and his work enthusiam Meng is probably handling a lot of the behind the scenes business and managing. ETA: When Aaron Spelling was producing a dozen shows in the 90s, I think he also always had someone to oversee things besides the showrunners. I would be interesting to know what exactly these "execs" are doing or if they are mere executers of the head honchos orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted June 11, 2009 Members Share Posted June 11, 2009 It is funny. If Tomlin handles production and some creative, Higley handles some creative, and Meng handles business...it really gets difficult to see what role AT ALL Corday plays. In that way, though people lump them together, one gets the sense that Corday and Brad Bell are polar opposites in terms of their hands-on role on their shows.

Members JackPeyton Posted June 11, 2009 Members Share Posted June 11, 2009 Actually, Corday & B Bill are alo alike in how they run in the shows... They start to get, interesting... and then... they mess it all up with their vision. Granted B Bell writes his, and Corday just steps in. But regaurdless, they are both masters at [!@#$%^&*] up anything good. How days has managed to stay this good this long is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted June 12, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks, Jason. You obviously don't watch the DAYS credits, Mark. Meng's been in the DAYS credits since the early 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members R Sinclair Posted June 12, 2009 Members Share Posted June 12, 2009 That's how it goes. Carsey/Werner is the same way with Caryn Mandabach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 On Monday's Y&R, why was Janice's name listed above Beall's? Janice doesn't write breakdowns, or is this a mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 16, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yeah, it was a mistake. JFE's name was above ALB (Monday) and Casiello (Friday; it was his first ever script), when her name should've been below Milstein's. On Tuesday's ep the credits are right and JFE is under Milstein's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 What was JFE's role in the Casiello breakdown/script? Just an EXTRA editor? I get confused by all these people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 16, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yeah, JFE edit scripts when Milstein's on vacation. OLTL and Y&R are the only show that list temporary editors when their main editor is not editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
