Members dragonflies Posted April 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I guess some think he's lying, he had to tweet this LOL: yes. It'll break elsewhere Monday. But trust me: I don't lie to you guys. If it's rumor, I say. If it's fact, I say. This is fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm cautiously optmistic. She can write some of the most brilliant, intelligent stuff (Cindy-AIDS; Natalie's rape; Michael Delaney coming out story; Erica's addiction) and some mind-blowingly inane stuff (Damon Lazarre, Erica steals Maria's baby). Nothing is probably going to change in terms of the canvass or the stories currently in play, but she can definitely add some intelligence and depth to the current stories that have interesting possibilities, most notably Tad-Cara-Jake-Amanda and the baby switch stuff. Actors and writers whom I respect have spoken out about how great a writer they think she is (Julia Barr, Ilene Kristen, Wisner Washam, for example), so I'm happy to have her back full time in that regard. Maybe she can even make Rylee tolerable, because you know with Frons still there, those two ain't goin' nowhere. I don't agree that she was hired to write AMC's swan song. That's just wishful spin from people with agendas. If they wanted the show gone, they could care less about having it go out with dignity and would not hire a writer to effect that. I would hope this means that the show is safe for at least another year. OLTL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I wonder how soon LB's work will start airing? May sweeps? After May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jack Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I don't know what to make out of this It could be a "Lorraine Broderick is AMC's new headwriter, but we are ending production next year", or its false information, or it is a final effort to turn the show around and regain some of the lost viewers but, I feel like the show needs more changes to make any sizable impact. The show has been creatively stagnant for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I think AMC's core audience is gone for good. They always seem like they're trying to write for the casual viewer not the long term viewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 Depends who penned what. Susan Lucci said she just started taping the stuff for Erica's new arc, so if we do the math, it sounds like sweeps. I'd assume things are written through at least May/June and it would be after that we'd see LB taking over? Or not. What the hell do I know.

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'd say mid-june/early July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 The show finally seems to have some direction and focus after so much "whatever-sticks-against-the-wall" years following the Bianca baby switch story. Hoping that Broderick can elevate the current stories with some depth. I think that's all we can hope for at this point. I just hope she's not micromanaged to death.

Members You're Soaking in it Posted April 3, 2011 Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 It took just over two months for her work to start airing after Pratt being ousted / AMC's move to Los Angeles. So that should give us some idea... Probably just after May, like you suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2011 So basically K&S get to write another sucktastic sweeps? LOL that's just hilarious, two sucky sweeps under their belts and they get to pen another. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
