Members R Sinclair Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 That used to be one of my main gripes about the early days of Soap Net. Jonathan, you're absolutely correct and I can only add a few more "really, really, reallys" to the expensive. Soap Net would NOT pay to clear rights to the pieces of music the ABC soaps would use during montages in that day's network air show. They would just use generic music cues from that particular show's background music library... and the impact would be SEVERELY lessened. When JFP took over GH in 2001, there were so many music montages in episodes on the network broadcast that would be RUINED in the Soap Net broadcast.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 I remember that Amazing Grace montage that SoapNet f.ucked up so bad. :lol: Musical montages are one of Jill's trademarks, almost every show she's produced has had a ton of them. Except for GL, strangely, they never did that much or at all under her helm, or at least from what I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 That was the second vilest offender! It comes in second only to their 10,000th episode. There were so many montages incorporating so many clips of the 10,000 episodes that got completely dicked over... HARD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 Tracey Thomson was back listed at AMC today after several weeks of being MIA. I wonder who (if anyone) is leaving to make room for Lisa Connor. I can't imagine Carruthers would shell out of 6 full-time scriptwriters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 Listed as the SW, or as one of the Associate Head Writers? Do we know Lisa is writing scripts, and not going to be an AHW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 TT was the SW today. Hmmm.. I'm not sure why I assumed Connor will be a SW. Altough even if she's an AHW that would make 4 or 5 of them (depending on whether Broderick stays or goes) and AMC seems to try and keep it at 3 (except for now because there's no HW).

Members Adam Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 Well Hayes could go back to scripts if Connor were to be an AHW. Hayes took Thomson's place once she was demoted. That would make: Hayes/Connor, Cohen, Hall, Kahn and Taylor and I guess Thomson, but my guess is she will be gone once Lisa Connor starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 I would have to guess that Kahn is more likely to exit before Thomson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 Really? I guess they both could be gone since they were Pratt hires. Dunn is probably safe since he worked under both of these people at GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 Michele Val Jean tweeted today that Tracey Thomson is back writing for GH as of next week. MVJ says TT is "mad talented", and I admit I thought her GH work was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 Great! Thanks for the info, LeClerc. I figured she'd maybe end up back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted March 31, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted March 31, 2010 That's no surprise. I wonder what will happen to Dave Ryan and Nathan Fissell now - I liked that Nathan got a chance to write scripts after so many years as an assistant. So I guess James Kahn is next to go.

Members Adam Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 Probably David and Donna will hire some former GL script writers. Wouldn't it be nice if Gillian Spencer came out of semi-retirement to write a script now and again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 I was thinking that as well. It's too bad TPTB didn't get her to write the James Mitchell memorial episode. Instead Rebecca Taylor was probably assigned it since she's the senior scriptwriter. (The new SID says Broderick wrote it but that's probably not referring to the dialogue.)
