If Maria had any sense, she would ditch Sheffer and Hamner for Bennett.

Bill would probably be proud too, as she was the only contracted actor he ever let write for Y&R. Meg also has a gene pool outside of the Bell universe, which would be helpful, since Y&R is also trying to be everything it isn't, and I know Meg is still friendly with the Bell's and Eric Braeden...

Did anyone read the We Love Soaps Interview with Sheri Anderson? She makes it sound as if she never worked with Reilly, though they were credited as Co-HW's for a while. I wonder what the deal was with that.

I also gather from the last bit that she wasn't a Reilly fan and hated the possession storyline...

Two things. First of all, a lot of that is your particular interpretation. Having read the interview for myself, she really doesn't seem to have any opinion on the possession storyline, let alone "hate" it. It just read as if she were giving a chronology of writers and stories.

Secondly, she might have been credited as co-head writer due to some of her stories still playing in tandem with Reilly's stories for a certain time. That doesn't mean they worked together at all.

I believe she was credited with him as a Co-HW for a pretty extended period of time, something like 5 or 6 months. Though, I guess he could have been working off her material for a while, but it still seems strange. Even when a previous writer's material is still playing out and there's a change, the previous writer tends to be dropped off the credits when the new writer comes in. At least in recent history. Unless she wrote a very detailed semi-longterm bible that was subsequently executed.

I inferred she didn't like the procession story because that came years after she left, and she just tacked it onto her summary, where it really didn't belong (at least chronologically).

According to Jason47's site, they were credited as Co-HWs from December 21, 1992 - April 28, 1993. 4 months is a very long time to be credited together if Sheri left when Reilly started. Maybe I should just ask Sheri on Facebook. LOL

There's been other times where Reilly's been credited with other Co-HWs: November 21, 1997 - January 5, 1998 (with Sally Sussman Morina) and then August 11, 2003 - August 18, 2003 (with Higley).

Generally, I think, the credits are changed when the breakdown layouts end/start.

So, I guess it's not possible for DAYS to have worked simultaneously from Sheri Anderson's left-over story projections and JER's newly implemented ones? Alrighty, then.

Are you saying JER didn't work with SSM in November 21, 1997 - January 5, 1998 or with DH in August 11, 2003 - August 18, 2003?

That means we started to see SSM's stuff in November already and not in January, right?

Interesting tidbit: Darryl Ray Thomas has a facebook (as Ray Thomas). In his info section he lists one favorite show...All My Children and in his wall posts from April, he has a link to the cancellation rumor articles. One wonders how long he was shopping a headwriter gig and if AMC was at the top of his list at one point?

He's an actor as well....some of the best actors turned soap writers i.e. Doug Marland so who knows...he and Marlene (who looks like Dena in her facebook profile pic) may bring DOOL to a close with dignity.

B&B:

- Jane Heller first listed as Script Writer on May 24

Anything's possible. Credits are weird. Sometimes people share Co-HW credits when there's a changeover and sometimes there isn't.

Those dates were when Reilly shared Co-HW credits. I think SSM is on Facebook. We can go straight to the source. LOL
