ABC fired her due to them cutting 20 scripted new episodes this year. :) So I doubt it.

I am behind then, thanks. Wow, that is awful for her :(

Looks like they gave in to the pressure Vicki Rowell was aiming towards them, or, maybe they just genuinely hired her! It will be awesome if her contract gets extended after the six weeks.

Speaking of more African American writers, AMC NEED Michelle Patrick back. Do you with IF Megan comes back she would bring Michelle as well?

Found this article over at CBS SID

Susan Dansby -- the four-time Daytime Emmy winner and Writers Guild Of America Award recipient who was responsible for penning the final two years of AS THE WORLD TURNS scripts -- has been snapped up by THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS. "I'm going to Y&R around February 6 to start writing," she tells Soaps In Depth of what will be a six-week trial. "I'm told Y&R has been doing this a lot lately. They put few writers under contract; [instead] they bring them in and see if they get a feel for it or not."The opportunity to start putting words into the mouths of beloved Y&R characters like Victor and Nikki has Dansby "incredibly excited and incredibly nervous. History plays such a huge role in Y&R, so I really needed to learn that," she admits. Luckily, Dansby has someone on speed dial who can help! "My mom watched [the show], so she was my first phone call when I got this deal!" she says with a laugh. Although she says that she never requests specific writing assignments, Dansby -- a recent cancer survivor -- is intrigued by the possibility of creating dialogue for Lily that will reflect their shared experience.

Dansby certainly heads to her new job with a strong daytime background: In addition to writing for ATWT, she's also worked as a director on GUIDING LIGHT, GENERATIONS, GENERAL HOSPITAL and PORT CHARLES. However, the online buzz is that viewers are curious to see what unique things she'll bring to Y&R... and more specifically, the African-American characters on the show's canvas. "I think the conversation got started about the disparity between what's on the camera and who's working behind it," she explains. "I think there's a new sensitivity."

Semi-interesting interview with Karen Harris conducted recently by Soaps.com:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Karen Harris: ...we were told at one point if it's a choice between getting it in on time and getting it in good, get it in on time.

Karen Harris: ...When you're cutting everything else, how it reads and how it plays is all that's left... I mean taking the time to write it right is the one thing you have to do that shouldn't cost you any money.
