The writers room was done away at AMC in 2003. A lot of soaps (GH, Y&R, Days, etc.) have historically always had their HWs/breakdown writers scattered over the country.

Broderick, Walsh, Beldner, Hall, Taylor and Cohen (I think) are based in NY.

Thomson, Hayes, and Dunn are based in LA.

I didn't know that the writer's room was abolished. Interesting.

LOL, yup. Right before McTavish's era began. Victor Miller used to write from Northern California. Stephen Demorest from North Carolina. Amanda Beall from Connecticut. Addie Walsh from New York City. Writers, writers, everywhere! :)

I'm not Lindsay's biggest fan, but it's comments like this that make me happy about this upcoming "present", and why I cheer for Rebecca Taylor to continue staying on AMC's writing staff. :)

Whatever floats your boat.

You don't even watch AMC! LOL You're just riding on RS's coat tails, hanging on his every word. With RS, Adam, Jonathan, Leclerc, Kubla Khan, etc, at least they watch the show and can form their own opinion. Aside from what RS posted in the past, I've never seen you cite anything on your own about how Rebecca and Amanda are "Lethal Weapons".

Wow!:blink:

I believe OLTL and ATWT is the only soaps left that has a writers room - I think all their BDWs (and of course HW) are NY based.

Well, he does regurgitated everything you say about AMC's writers - he can't form his own opinion. Like when he had Addie Walsh on his AMC wish list, but then he remember you citing that July 4th episode, and then he took Addie off his list. I highly doubt he knows what happened in that episode, I'm sure he didn't even watch it.

I do. It's true. :) Wherever Sinclair goes, I follow. Nothing wrong with that. :)

I'm a complete follower. :)

Well...yeah. LOL Fakery at its finest. :) So Sylph, since you've been obviously watching the show, what do you think of Chip Hayes' scripts? He seems to be the lead SW now, writing the most.

Chip Hayes' scripts? He seems to be the lead SW now, writing the most.

Question, when did Chip Hayes start writing for AMC and did he ever have any positions other than SW before on the show?

He was writing breakdowns before AMC did away with that position. Consult Toups' profiles section, but I believe Chip came aboard in early 2004.

Ooooooh.... that isn't fair! :lol: I almost walked blindly into this one! Again, I say, WICKED!

Toups, this "gift" you have.... can you give us a time frame? Like how long before we know.... you've really piqued the interest of the AMC fan elite here....

Here you go:

All My Children

- Script Writer (March 25, 2008 - Present)

- Associate Head Writer (January 7, 2004 - January 14, 2008)

Ooooooh.... that isn't fair! :lol: I almost walked blindly into this one! Again, I say, WICKED!

It was an honest question for Sylph, who seems to know which AMC writers are "Lethal Weapons" and which are not. :)

I think it's sometime this month.
