Members Cheap21 Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 +1. If anything the balance has been much better as these two are used to writing less for characters, from their GL days where characters weren't in 90% of the episodes.

Members dragonflies Posted April 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Richard tweeted this in regards to K&S: I don't know that They're out. Just not headwriting any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Lorraine did baby switches at AMC, OLTL, and ATWT, although the babies weren't dead in those stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I know some people wrote Sue Johnson (who is essentially the ABC Daytime VP) last week pleading with her to let Broderick and/or Jeff Beldner plot the last months of the show because of their extensive history with it compared to D&D. I don't know how many people actually bothered to write her, of if that has anything to do with this (certainly the pleas for Broderick have existed since D&D were hired), but I'm just mentioning that that there was an concerted effort last week. If she is being given the position so she can write the end then I actually appreciate ABC doing that. If she is being given the position as a last-ditch effort to save the show then, as has already been stated, it won't work because she isn't a ratings-getter.

Members marceline Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 If AMC has somehow managed to get a reprieve, I go back to what I said when this vigil started: fix the budget. Even if it means more scenes in that god forsaken park. As long as that's out of control, the show is more vulnerable than it needs to be. Fix. The [!@#$%^&*]. Budget. It's funny how we get a bit of potentially good news and everybody starts clawing at each other like drag queens at a wig sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Lorraine Broderick is the first writer to go the long-lost child route? At least it was Tad, who had no idea, and not a woman who was conveniently brainwashed to forget the hours of grueling labor. A script writer? A mirror?

Members Kylie Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 So did MMT. But it's more the Erica stuff that has me seeing LB as interim again. I guess/hope we'll find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yes. Ratings won't go up, but the budget can go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 No she's not the first, but AMC needs another baby switch like it needs lower ratings....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I know, it's probably me being paranoid and my hating the b*tch so much, I still smell MMT all over the Angie/Jesse stuff, and even more so in Erica's upcoming stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angela Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 ICA. As much as it sucks to say and hear, it is writers like McTavish, Pratt and Guza that are most able to get the ratings gains. Ironically, these are the same writers that eat away at long-time fans loyalty with their insanity. Are they getting rid of JHC? lol The show really has to get more efficient from the production stand point if this is really another chance, and not just a rainbow on the green mile.
