It's actually funny to me because I actually used to think Conan O'Brien directed AMC in addition to doing his late-night show back when I first start paying attention to the behind-the-scenes people (and apparently when I couldn't tell l's from n's).

And Wiki lists the director as Conan.

What does it matter? They're both gonna meet the same fate. Move out to L.A. for their job, canceled in seven months.

You think AMC is kaputt in 7 months?

I think AMC is fine due to the move. AMC's ratings are good and ABC will be promoting it. Broderick will improve the show a bit and Kriezman should do fine for a while. I'm sure next year people will be ready for him to leave. Like any new HW, he'll probably have one big story that he pitched to Frons to get the job and it'll all go downhill from there.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm quite pleased with the Kreizman/Swajeski news. Chris B keeps saying Kreizman dumped the multigenerational Hughes story, but it was off the air already a full month before he was credited. There's no evidence that Kreizman made the call on that. I think Kreizman would really take advice from Agnes Nixon, as his interest in the soap pioneers was shown with the Irna Phillips episode he wrote (as well as mentioning Irna Phillips in his Emmy acceptance speech).

Several cast members have mentioned how things were dropped when the new HW, Kriezman arrived. It's to be expected with any new HW. And Don Hastings most recently said it was supposed to be a much bigger story involving more characters, but it was dropped with the writing change. His work speaks for itself really. On both shows.

Janice Ferri Esser.

Janice Ferri Esser.

I love Janice Ferri Esser, I wish there were more writers like her in daytime

I don't. It's a well-known fact around here.

Tom Casiello with a breakdown from Jay Gibson.

I wonder if Kreizman and Swajeski would hire Esensten & Brown as staff writers for AMC. B&E are the only AMC writers I can think of that they have strong connections to.

Yet ...AMC demos are worse than ATWT... wait it's dead last

According to Lucci, Lorraine and Kate Hall will REMAIN with the show.

"I'm very hopeful with these new writers," Lucci gushed. "I remember Donna when she was at ABC. She was very highly regarded and had a great feel for 'All My Children,' as I recall. I'm not familiar with [David], but he comes with a great reputation from two shows that I always felt were very good. I'm also so thrilled Lorraine Broderick and Kate Hall will remain with AMC in the writing group."
