Members Sylph Posted December 14, 2009 Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 Who to pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 I want to know who the TPTB at Y&R and AMC paid to get these nominations. Especially Y&R, as it's headed by two Fi-Core Head Writers, and one of them who left writing behind and came back during the strike and stayed there.... But Maria and Sheffer are left off due to their Fi-Core status, so that's good, I guess. I hope Y&R doesn't win. That show's crappy, bizarre, and inconsistent day to day writing and craptacular overall storytelling does not deserve to be validated, nor do the arrogant people on that writing team. I'm pulling for OLTL or ATWT, especially OLTL..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted December 14, 2009 Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well no GH thank goodness but AMC - lordy no way. And where is Days or don't they get a nod because of the "alleged" writing issues during the strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 DAYS could have gotten nominated, but they would have excluded Dena Higley from the list, as she's Fi-Core, like they did with the two hack HW's at Y&R. I would have rather a nomination for than Y&R, at least DAYS has some consistent day to day writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 14, 2009 Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 with only 7 soaps on the air now, maybe its not about picking the 4 best, but exclusing the 3 worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted December 14, 2009 Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well IMO AMC was one of the 3 worst with GH and Y&R. But is there ever a nod which does not include Y&R? But of course that's only my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 14, 2009 Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 This award lost its lustre about two decades ago. 4 nominees out of 7? Really? Calculate for yourselves the probability of being nominated (too big) and it all goes to pots. Besides, the judging procedure, the things it "values"... Forget it. But if Maria wins — count on her staying. That is, prolonging her stay. Except if the ratings don't plummet quickly and precipitously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 14, 2009 Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 I am glad to see Frederick Johnson nominated, Melissa Salmons (for two soaps, no less), Courtney Simon, Michelle Patrick... And that's kind of about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 But she nor Sheffer are nominated, they're excluded from the list given their Fi-Core status. Her million man, inconsistent, and bizarre writing staff that aren't Fi-Core are up for the award though. Paula Cwikly is left off though, as she's also Fi-Core. I really hope Y&R doesn't win this...

Members Sylph Posted December 14, 2009 Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 Yes, of course, but you know she'll spin it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'm proud of Melissa too, I loved her scripts on Y&R, ATWT, and GL previously, and her scripts on OLTL are often the best on that show. I've always said you know someone is a great Script Writer when they write consistently good scripts for all the shows they've been apart of. I don't think she's ever been given enough credit for her work as a SW, well, not as much as some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted December 14, 2009 Members Share Posted December 14, 2009 What timeframe is this award for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dc cubs Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'm wondering the same thing. Wouldn't GL be in contention? If so that would make it four out of eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
