GH: New Co-Headwriter Announced

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.

Seems like we are all on the same page here. While I doubt it means this is ABC's way of saying they're trying to do everything they can to save the show (especially if nothing actually changes), but it does indicate that Carlivati was definitely heading over as Co-HW (who would go from HW on one show to Script Writer on another anyway???).

I think you're right. Also explains why JFP was so supportive of Ron going to PP. She saw her chance to make a FOJ co-HW instead.

I'm curious to see what difference, if any, Altman makes. Thus far she she only executed other writers' visions (or lack thereof, in several cases at AW). It will be interesting to see what kind of writer she is.

No NLG tweeted it was the change at Days she was referring to I believe where one of her BFF's got an EP job there.

I hope she won't be as bad as the last FOJ Head Writer, Megan McTavish. I'm glad to see her get a shot at Co-HW instead of bringing in a recycled HW.

I wonder what this means fro Wolf. He's probably sweating it right now.

Yup.

GW's GH reminds me of Wes Kenney's GH after Monty left circa 1986 after all the action-adventure stuff had begun to become tiresome. There was a push to make the show more realistic, but it ended up being a crashing bore. I know I'm comparing a HW vs a EP, but the transition from Guza to Wolfe reminds me of the Monty-Kenney pass-off.

Seeing David Kreizman in todays GH credits as scriptwriter, I wonder what if Dave was considered to be Co-HW with Garin? That would've been a bad look for GH if Kreizman got somemore power LOL.

Oh wow I don't even watch GH but now I feel sorry for GH fans knowing the kiss of death is writing for the show.

Amazingly I forgot Phelps was still at GH I really haven't heard her talked about for the past few years. Last I even seen her interviewed was someone asking her about GL's cancellation and her making some unnecessary crass but truthful remarks about GL's downfalls

Right!!

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.

If they were really interested in saving GH they would not have released RC from his contract and he would have ended up as Co-HW and possibly

lone HW at some point at GH

That may have just been a way to free up some money, if they could offload him onto PP.

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.

It's even more jarring considering some of the soap writers most reviled on this board were women.

I really don't think ABC is trying to save GH. Unfortunately, the writing seems to be on the wall and rumors of imminent cancellation are already swirling. I think ABC is just placating people until they are ready to admit that they are getting rid of their last soap.
