And Broderick episodes begin on..... ..... ......?

This is what I'm wondering to! It's puzzling me how some of the LA scenes started today, clearly taped months after Pratt was fired, yet his hack name is still displayed on the episode! Hopefully it's off by February 3rd when the show is full HD.

Pratt was fired on November 20th..... its usually at least 3 months before the material will be entirely played out. I don't expect his name gone until around Feb. 20th... I am sure most of what is happening now has a Lorraine "spin" as it were....because I am sure she perhaps rewrote some stuff, but in terms of fully her material I don't see it coming until towards the end of sweeps. It should last until May sweeps at which point The Peapack Express will make their crash landing.

LOL What he said. I suspect what we're seeing here isn't all Pratt by any means (R Sinclair can let you know what parts Agnes has ghost written but basically it'll be anything that anyone likes ), but I think his credit will stick around a bit longer.

Sigh lol Thanks... I was hoping it was sooner... one shall have to be patient!

Well I think already, as mentioned we're getting tweaks and lead up to Broderick's story--she (and others) certainly had a bit of time to look at scripts between Pratt's firing and the LA filming.

The writers are usually two months ahead of what's airing but with the move to LA they were more like three months ahead.

Kate Hall had her baby a week before Pratt was fired...and one of her scripts just aired last Friday. So I'm thinking that the stuff airing now was written in late October.

Edit: They're usually ahead two months not weeks.

Good to know! BTW, long time no see.

Well it is interesting that it does seem to be... slightly better.
