According to Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly. ABC had announced that Lorraine Broderick has not taken over the job as headwriter of All My Children. She is part of the writing team as an associate headwriter. They have not announcement to make to the headwriting position.

Dissapointing.. but I'm still glad she's part of the team.

For those with better knowledge, is an 'associate writer' right below a HW in rank?

Actually, Agnes is headwriting but Lorraine was brought on because Agnes doesn't know MS Word very well so she's dictating to Lorraine just like the old days when Lorraine started out as her secretary.

Well I had a feeling Agnes was once again doing her uncredited ghost writing thing--I think she started earlier than this, actually, cuz the other day there were one or two lines of dialogue that I think Angie said, that were so good and I instantly thought "aha! Agnes is back!" Of course the rest of the episode sucked, but that was all Pratt's hack work, naturally.

Eric, I think you're right. It was when Erica said "Do you know who I am?" to the attendant at the hotel. Vintage Agnes! That hack couldn't have written that moment!

No, actually Agnes definitely is the headwriter. According to the NY Times arts and leisure weekend website she is the "creator and headwriter." So if the NY Times says it, it must be true.

Well, that explains it! Pratt wasn't fired at all! He quit! He got tired of being blamed for Agnes' crappy writing this past year and walked out on his contract!

Mystery solved! Thank you NY Times! Crack reporting there, I tell ya!

In this case, the NY Times is completely wrong. Agnes isn't the headwriter, or ghost headwriter. She isn't dictating dialogue to Lorraine. Where do you people get this stuff??? Site your sources if you know this for fact.
