If we listed Pratt quotes we'd be here all day. :P I still can't believe those quotes he gave about Jamie Luner.

LOL yeah that she wasn't an ass kisser and would teach the rest of the high schoolers a lesson.

I also remember a stupid quote from him, something about it takes a strong man to make a strong woman(words to that effect).

Dena Higley re: OLTL said something like "Jenn will leave in a fun way."

... which meant murdered a the hands of a down low D.A.

I remember that one! :lol:

Perhaps she meant "funny?"

I mean, I sure thought it was funny that she was murdered by a friggin' sandwich baggie. I mean, damn! Couldn't Higley have had her paralyzed and bashed over the head with a shovel?

Barbara Esensten about another AMC writer's suggstion at a story meeting:

"Yesterday, when we were meeting with the writers, someone said, “Well, this is a really bad idea....” and we said, “Whoa! There are no bad ideas..."

Wrong.

Chuck Pratt:

"Nobody loved Stuart more than I did".

Riiiiiiiight.

Man those Maria Bell quotes - wow no words. None of the rest surprise me. I guess I'm immune to the stupidity of Pratt, Guza, Higley, Sheffer, and McTavish at this point. It's taken me a while to realize Maria belongs along side them with her level of idiocy.

My personal fave from Guza

After they killed off Alan Q and then Emily Q and wrote off Ned and Dillon all within 1 year.

" The Quartermaine family is going to regain their stature on the canvas" Kind of hard to do when you only have 2 left.

And Pratt's comment about Stuart. That man loves to kill off beloved characters. Mark my words, Jackson Montgomery will be next.

Didn't Guza say once that one of his lamebrained mob sweeps stories would be like, "Love in wartime" or something? :lol::lol:

Or Sally Sussman-Morina bragging about creating the Nick/Phyllis romance. Which was just low sex. Right down the Playstation 2 plug.

EW.com: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20189728,00.html

Does this mean the end of the mob violence? Is this the start of kinder, gentler GH?

''We're not going to make them all go in the garment business. That is not what this story is about,'' Guza says. ''The show is about romance during wartime, for lack of a better term. We have the highest stakes possible because people can be killed. We're not going to ignore that. We're not going to go away from that. But we're going to make them very, very aware of the consequences and make them try to deal in nonviolent ways.''

LOL Oh Guza.

This thread is so much fun!

I have an edition of SOW from when Pratt was co-HW of GH earlier this decade and will never forget him saying this:

"Sometimes I sneak into the casting office and steal a pile of headshots of sexy young actresses"

Wonder what he does with those....

Bob Guza would say something like this post-9/11 and Iraq War. Leave it to him.

Oh you forgot this gem

That storyline was actually written and played out while Guza participated in the 100-day writers' strike, but when the scribe returned, he decided that the best way to address the fans' unhappiness about the lack of real repercussions for Michael's act of violence was to have Michael take a bullet himself. Of course, it doesn't hurt that it's all in time for May sweeps.

"Sometimes I sneak into the casting office and steal a pile of headshots of sexy young actresses"

I am not surprised by that! Pratt just seems to be that kind of guy.

I guess it's better than Guza stealing headshots of MB and SBu and slobbering all over them.

Again from EW.com: ''Twelve-year-olds shouldn't be picking up guns; I don't care if your father is a gangster. And if they do, there's got to be a consequence. We make directly culpable the people who love him most.''

Consequence = getting shot in the head. Way to teach Michael a valuable lesson!

Ask Mark Teschner. I'm sure after they disappeared, they mysteriously wound up back on his desk... stuck together. :unsure:
