Members bellcurve Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 I wonder if he(or his agents) are demanding too high a salary. Gotta love how Giddens and Co. are encroaching on your territory and adding writer news to their trashy segments. They'll never be the PerezHilton or NikkiFinke of daytime, no matter how hard they try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 12, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted August 12, 2009 Whatever the reason is, Goutman looks so bad (what else is new!). Let's fire someone without securing the replacement! What an idiotic move. LOL Thanks for having my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 What??? I didnt know this...hmmmmm.....It does make Goutman look like a complete fool. Watch him hire Simon back...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 Josh Griffith should stop trying to make himself happen already. Watch ATWT's new SE be one of the newly unemployed GL writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kubla Khan Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, at least Courtney can spend her free time with a new grandchild - Kate Hall is pregnant (does this mean even more Rebecca Taylor scripts while she's on leave? LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted August 12, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted August 12, 2009 Congrats to Kate! Maybe Courtney will temporary take Kate's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 You my boy, Toups! LOL. I want to eventually see Josh Griffith IN as EP of a soap, just to send shivers down everyone's spines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 Seeing bellcurves' avatar makes me wonder if Jill's daughter wants to go into TV like her mother and carry on the Phelps legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 We can only hope she learned well from mama. After the 2008 Emmys where that speech pissed me off, I kind of grew to realize what Phelps' good qualities are. If matched with a great writer, Jill can do anything to raise the production values on a soap. Courtney's studying directing too, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 People have their reasons for hating her, but Jill is a very talented woman, IMO. From a production standpoint, her shows are always well produced and directed, and more than anyone else, she can make the written material come alive. She's a gifted technical producer. The key with her is always matching her with the right HW, which is hardly ever the case it seems. She might be a bitch or whatever, but she does her job and she works her ass off.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 Penny Pengra directed GH today. Isn't she an associate director at the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yes, she's an editor. I'm going to have to watch this particular episode because I tend to enjoy the work of directors who have a history of editing. They're truly able to see things from the outside, as a director should. I'm not saying I'll enjoy her direction, but I wanna see if her talent in editing translates into directing. Old school directors like Robert Wise (edited Citizen Kane, Magnificent Ambersons) when he directed West Side Story. Even contemporary directors like Henry Chan (who edited sitcoms before directing them). I like seeing if their "eye" for editing performances and cuts translates into directing on the stage itself.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 JFP seems to like promoting editors/associate directors. If I'm not mistaken, Owen Renfroe was one of her editors/associate directors at OLTL, and he's one of the best directors at GH and in daytime. GH has a great directing team.
