Jeez. You guys are good!

If you, Y&R Turner, and myself were forced at gunpoint to run a soap I would obviously run the lighting and set design teams. lol

You would be the writers and producers.

OLTL's SEVERE issue right now is the lack of ethnic diversity, and sadly, the ethnic characters on the show are COMPLETE BORES!

Carolyn Culliton you think will be heading back to ATWT? And she is a OLTL scriptwriter, not a breakdown writer??

I think it is only a matter of time before Carlivato gets a co head writer...

I see Ron getting a Co Head this year. My opinion is that Ron should have been promoted with Shelly Altman, who was his breakdown confidant for years before he rose to HW. The two of them together could rock OLTL's socks. I would love Carolyn to be promoted but I dont see her coming up from Script editor to Co- Head.

As far as Katherine Shock- I found OLTL (Whitesell/Broderick) at that point very, very campy. It was not my favorite time. Dare I say that I enjoyed JFP's and the much maligned whatshernames dark and plot driven OLTL much better than Gary Tomlin's?? (Ducks head) Whitesell and Broderick wrote the trading places episode that got OLTL Best Show?

Would Katherine Shock by any chance write ALL of Tuc's material? lol

Honestly, I think Tuc writes Tucs material. :)

Peter Brash and Bettina Badbury- I feel like I have seen those names either connected to ATWT or Days- I am thinking ATWT?

They've both written for both of those shows...

Peter Brash still writes for ATWT. He wrote Tuesday's script for ATWT that many people across the Internet have bragged on - that was the confrontation.

I don't see how a co-HW is the answer. Nor do I obsess over the writing team this much.

With the exception of Ron, Shelly, Aida, Larry Carpenter, and Elizabeth Page, everyone backstage on this show needs to be fired. From the EP, directors, associate head writers, and script writers.

I can't help but think that Cascio is the one behind all these baby switches and stuff. Wasn't she on ATWT when Craig pulled a baby switch?

RC missed an opportunity when the idiots at DAYS decided to let go nearly all the people Sheffer brought onto that show.

Cascio is just a breakdown writer. She has nothing to do with writing the long story.

And RC did hire one of the Days writers - Fred Johnson.

Anna Cacsio started her career on OLTL, she started in 1996 and was there until she went to co-head write for AMC. Actually Cascio is a talented writer and she was not given a huge chance at AMC when they brought McTavish back. Shelly Altman is a good writer as well. The thing is you do not know if they are head writer material. Ron IMO is one of the few who proved it but David Kriezman is awful at GL. Carolyn Culliton is a very talented writer as she was taught Hogan alot at ATWT. When Carolyn was replaced with Jean Passanante things got went south. I would love Culliton to go back to ATWT to be sole head writer but Goutman loves Jean P. Jean has been with ATWT for almost seven and half years LOL. There are no breakdown writers in daytime anymore, the associate head writers have to do all the breakdowns. That is why they are alot of unemployed daytime writers.
