GH:

- Anna Theresa Cascio first listed as Breakdown Writer on August 17

I don't remember a day when there was this many changes. LOL But it looks like the GH and DAYS teams are now complete. Next up, Y&R. Make your moves JFP/JG!

Lorraine Broderick took a long hiatus from writing and is now bouncing round from show to show. I guess she has those bills to pay fom her daughter's wedding. :lol:

What's this about her daughter's wedding?

Not a bad team at DAYS with one notable exception.

Who?

What's this about her daughter's wedding?

Lorraine Broderick's daughter got hitched right around the time she was promoted to HW at AMC and the show got the axe. She mentioned it in her last interview with SOD.

It makes sense that Smith is gone, wasn't she also Maria's writer's assistant? Most new HW's will want an assistant of their own and someone they can trust.

What I find strange is no update on Sheffer's employment. He needs to go, like yesterday. It would be terrible if Griffith kept him on as Co-HW, especially with JFP's twisted vision already in the mix.

  • Member

DC also said that Sheffer's contract expires in November. Not sure if it was Jamey Giddens, or who, that said Sheffer only writes long story and that since Josh Griffith likes to work alone, Sheffer would likely go once his contract is up.

  • Member

If that's the case, I assume Griffith will demote him and keep him as a breakdown writer, and then get rid of him entirely when his contract is up in November.

Next month's update should be quite stacked.

Whilst not completely gutted, I expect the fully realised team under Josh Griffith to look a fair bit different to what we have now. Though, I imagine a few may be retained.

Thanks.

Yeah, she was Maria's assistant.

I can see Josh moving Hogan to breakdowns too. But Hogan's a very funny guy so he'll have 4 months to charm Josh in the Writers Room or conference calls when they're doing their layouts.

Frankly, I think his (Brent Boyd's) comment reeks of disdain, which is unfortunate.

Would it kill these sons-of-bitches to hire a writer (or producer, or director) who actually loves the genre?
