Members ClassicAMCDays Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Happy New Year, everyone. Here's to hoping we have some positive changes behind the scenes. My list is as follows: AMC: Lorraine Broderick made full-time HW The breakdown writing position is reinstated Frederick Johnson back as Associate Head Writer Jeff Beldner back as Associate Head Writer Michelle Patrick as Script Editor Christopher Dunn last listed as Associate Head writer... Tracey Thomson last listed as Associate Head writer (She's a decent scriptwriter, so I'd be fine with a demotion) Rebecca Taylor last listed as Script Writer... Mike Cohen first listed as Script Writer... DOOL: Sofia Landon Grier back as Script Writer... Y&R: To be brief, a complete overhaul is needed. Maria and her minions have done enough damage.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 I would be very surprised if it was a GH director, Jill is very close to those directors from what I've seen and heard. Thankfully! Their dialogue was in such dire condition for so long, so it looks to be taking a better overall direction soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 I wonder if Casey Childs would be asked to go to ATWT. I know he directed back in the 80's for ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClassicAMCDays Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Courtney is great. OLTL is lucky to have her. I would have preferred that she go to AMC, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Sounds to me like Casey Childs will just be retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Retiring?? He's not an old fart...lol...I think he is still very young. Oh I am glad AMC didnt get her. I had a feeling OLTL would pick her up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Casey is early 50ish. He runs a theater company in New York, and so LA was not an option for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 2, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted January 2, 2010 Yup, it's Carolyn. You're 2 for 2. LOL Sofia. I love her too. Don't think she's a FOG though. I reason I chose Ludel is because I don't think he's a "true" FOJ like Scott McKinsey (GL), Phideaux Xavier (GL), and Owen Renfore (OLTL). Maybe Ludel's very close to JHC and maybe he wants a new challenge, directing in a new studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 I've seen him on TV when AMC won directing one year accepting the award and he looks good for being in his early 50's. I thought he was in his 40's..early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kubla Khan Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 I never understood what exactly the relationship was/is with Scott McKinsey and JFP. Remember - after Wendy Riche left and JFP came in, he abruptly left GH and moved back to NY and joined ATWT. Goutman fired him so he came back to LA and JHC hired him for PC, and then started directing at GH again, which I would never expect, given the history between JFP and his mother, LOL. And JFP isn't one to forget things like that. But he's solidly directing there under there for years, so I guess they do have a solid relationship. I think JHC and McKinsey have a pretty strong relationship, too - she always recruited him to direct the "big" episodes of PC (like that episode that aired in OLTL's timeslot). But I have a feeling she stole one of the producers (like Barrow) or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Oh, I just remember Ludel's speech at the Emmy's a few years ago where he was kissing Jill's ass more than he needed to, and the camera panned to her in the audience getting up, jumping up and down, and clapping her ass off. He's also GH's Lead Director right, so that's why he's always the one that gets announced as the person accepting for the directing team whenever GH wins?

Members Kubla Khan Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Random: I heard that he very badly wanted to work himself up to the position of executive producer. I think he was a bit ticked when Jean Dadario Burke was sacked and they didn't promote him. Shortly after JHC came in he left his producer position and went back to full-time directing.

Members Soapsuds Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 What was she dumping?? Hmmm...I never thought his directing at ATWT was that great. So i was shocked he got an award for his work on AMC. Nice piece of random news KK...thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 I meant jumping, though she's been known to look like she's using a toilet whenever the camera pans to her at the Emmy ceremonies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
