AMC: Lorraine Broderick named Headwriter

I wonder if she will touch up on the Asher/Adam/Caleb/Miguel/Sonia story bc what K&S ended up with is NOT what she started with. I wonder if she will try and fix up that story and have it play out as originally envisioned by her

And hopefully bring Damon back and finish telling that story.

At this point, everything's a band-aid. Everything. Every new HW, any new EPs that might be on the horizon, any cross-country excursion to Butcher Holler, Kentucky, all of it's a band-aid. Nobody wants to get a second opinion, everyone's sitting around waiting for the old hags to die so they can collect their inheritances (a two-hour block of fertile time slots ready to be filled by Tori and Aisha).

But if the band-aids (or pills, rather) ease just a little bit of the pain, I'm in.

There's still time to make major changes - GH was thisclose to being canceled in 1977/78 when Gloria Monty came in. Clearly AMC is not going to become what GH became after that but if they would just bring in a new producer and Frons would keep his hands off then things might improve enough for a decent ratings increase.

I guess only an official ABC press release will suffice for some? Perhaps that's ok. I believe the news. I did not love or hate K&S but I do like the Broderick head writing prospect.

Wow :blink: I mean good? I will reserve judgment.... she just could be in charge of seeing AMC off into the cancellation heap... which I guess is good... maybe the ending will actually be respectful to the rich history of the show.

Yeah..I think Errol is on to something....she is probably going to write the ending of the show.

If this is true I am in HEAVEN. Jesus Christ it's hard to be an AMC fan lately--health wise.

:lol: :lol: :lol:;)

Am I the only who isn't an LB fan?

She's definitely not all that for me either. I don't by any means of the imagination think she's a proven ratings magnet either. Current, new or old writers nobody is going to get all love. She is a crticially acclaimed writer for AMC and if she's there to handle them to the end whenever that is (and hopefully it isn't this year) it probably isn't the worst choice.

If all this is confirmed by ABC, I would be good with DS/DK staying with the show because while I thought they were simplistic and dull, I didn't think they were terrible. One thing Broderick should take that they gave is a more balanced use of the AMC cast. As critically acclaimed as Broderick was she was as bad as McTavish, B&E and Pratt with balance.

so this basically means that whole TV Guide article the other day was nothing, but b.s.

I wouldn't call it that until ABC finally stops punking out and starts giving straight answers.

Broderick had Ryan and Greenlee separated during her entire run last year. That's all I need to know. :lol:

And how long was that? It was only a couple of months wasn't it? She also wrote the stuff in the castle for them. Where they basically said they'd NEVER, EVER be done.

When you actually LOOK at what and who she did write, I'm not sure you can say she favors David/Greenlee over Ryan and Greenlee. I think all she was told was keep them apart for x amount of time before reuniting them.

Yeah and she started up Ryan/Madison who I thought had a lot of promise. K&S were the ones ended up reuniting RyLee. That said, you could always tell that Ryan & Greenlee were going to find their way back to each other from the start lol.

don't hold your breath on that one

Has any headwriter since Frons got the job written anything different? I know people will come in and yell that David and Greenlee could have been this, yada yada yeah, but I also remember her right before the wedding being in the castle with Ryan all but telling him when she was done being mad at him, they'd always find their way back together.

They'll never be done. We know that. Why would anyone hope at this point? LMFAO

That's the point I'm at now. This ride's gotten too crazy. Although I'll be thrilled to have LB back.
