Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 TFP, sheilaforever! Interesting! I love reading stuff like this. Looks like this is a trial run for her so far, from looking at that comment she posted on the bottom of the page. I thought she did a pretty good job, particularly with the Thomas/Stephanie scenes, which I HATED, but they were very well done writing wise to me, especially the last part ;-P.

Members sheilaforever Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 Or you liked Kay Alden's editing touch, depending on how much her script was really edited. She admits in another blog post that her script was far too lengthy and quite some stuff was reworded. I give the B&B folks for giving different writers a trial shot every once in a while.

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 Judy, the promo lady at DAYS, posted on Twitter that the new writers are rewriting 17 episodes. http://twitter.com/#...396514579427329 http://twitter.com/heyjude14/status/73396775481913344 Also on Twitter, Jill Lorie Hurst posted that Nancy Williams Watt is joining the DAYS writing team. Any info on that at all, Toups? Is she joining as a a SW or BDW or what? ;-) http://twitter.com/#...402696891244544 Lol right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 I was Just coming to post that. Thanks. Another Passions person. I am so hopeful for this new HWing team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 26, 2011 Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 Nancy Williams Watt was a great SW and script editor when she was at GL. I can't speak for her Passions work, as the dialogue on that show was inane sh!t no matter who wrote it, but Nancy Williams Watt was a very talented woman during her peak years at GL.

Members Soapsuds Posted May 26, 2011 Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 I agree with you Alvin. Loved her work on GL. Passions always was non soap to me...a joke really...sorry Passion fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 26, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted May 26, 2011 Marlene and Darrell are sure shaking things up! I suspect there might be more Friend of Reilly's joining. How was Passions a non-soap, Ron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 26, 2011 Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 I don't know. I just never took it seriously as a soap. To me it was a totally different animal. I couldn't believe how bad Pete T. Rich & Nancy Williams Watt were on there yet they were superb on GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 26, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted May 26, 2011 Well as someone who watched beginning to end, it was very much a soap opera. In addition to all the craziness, it had all the classic soap opera themes and story types. They were good on Passions too when they got the chance. The comedy writing was brilliant for characters like Julian and Rebecca. You also have to remember that Jim Reilly had his own style for dialogue - where repetition, recapping, and soliloquies played a big part in the show's dialogue. I wouldn't be surprised if Pete Rich joined DAYS too, or Maralyn Thoma, Peggi Schibi, Shawn Morrison, N. Gail Lawrence, etc - assuming they're not retired.

Members Soapsuds Posted May 26, 2011 Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 N. Gail Lawerence was also on GL. Did Reilly bring them to Passions or was that someone elses doing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 26, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah, it was Reilly. The Passions team was made up of writers who worked with him at GL (Nancy Williams Watt, Roger Newman, Pete T. Rich, N. Gail Lawrence) and DAYS (Marlene Clark Poulter, Darrell Ray Thomas, Jr., Shawn Morrison, Ethel & Mel Brez) or both shows (Peggy Schibi). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 26, 2011 Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'd still love to know what "drama" led to Dena's ousting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
