Members Mr. Vixen Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm still looking forward to this. The last time GH had a female headwriter was the best the shows ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted October 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Higley, McTavish and Passante have left bad tastes in my mouths when they were either HW or co-HW, hopefully Altman is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Megan McTavish? It's always good to know there are more McTavish sort of fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think some reminded me McTavish was not all bad. She just left a terrible taste with me over the unabortion and banana pancakes and her time on GH was dreadful. But Broderick, Agnes Nixon, Kay Alden, Claire Labine some of the best writers out there. I doubt Altman is at their level but GH 's pacing is just terrible. They definitely need some help.

Members DRW50 Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 The main things GH needs are heart, and less ugly amorality. It's not clever or cute or fun or daring to have a cast full of loathsome people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 With JFP in charge none of that is coming back. They actually need a HW and EP that both embody that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGHFan Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 IA. I think they need a new EP more than they need a new HW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 There is always such reverse sexism on soap boards with this bizarre assumption that women make better writers than men and that they being women is all the evidence one needs. Well, Douglas Marland wasn't a woman, and Henry Slesar wasn't a woman, and Bill Bell wasn't a woman either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 If she wrote that then yes she's good. I really enjoyed AW during those years. These soaps aren't playing any games. I put money that Y&R is making a big move soon too. From new EP's to HW's and thats why we haven't seen changes. They are going to do it in one swoop. With GH and Days making massive changes and in this soap climate, Y&R can't afford to keep hitting all time lows across the board with out making a change at the top.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Well Kim Rhodes (Cindy) was on Another World from 1996-1999, so that would have been under her tenure. Also Robin Christopher (Lorna) was on from 1994-1997, so there would have been an overlap there too. And I loved both Lorna and Cindy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 On the one hand this just sounds like JFP giving her friend a promotion. On the other hand ABC must be at least somewhat interested in saving GH since this will be more expensive than Wolf doing the job solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't think Frons cares anymore to be honest other than to keep his stupor couples together. If they promoted this women from breakdown to Co-HW how much of an increase in pay does she get and will they promote/hire another writer? THey have lost/fired a few since GW took over. This reinforces what I thought which was that RC was going to come to GH to be a co-HW with Wolfe. She came from OLTL and worked under Carvalati. Maybe they feel she has some of his better attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
