Administrator Toups Posted November 3, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted November 3, 2012 Good to see Scott "Murder Mystery" Hamner finally gone! I doubt we'll ever see small writing staffs again. Having 4-5 BDWs and SWs is about right - then you just rotate who will be doing doubles. Having 6+ BDW or SW is too much.

Members glatwt Posted November 3, 2012 Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 im hoping sheffer is sticking around at the very least AWH! he worked briefly with griffith on ATWT before they both left, sheffer was AHW while griffith was SW and also trent jones was there at the same time as AWH so maybe he will come back since he knows Y&R's history!! i can only hope!

Members Khan Posted November 3, 2012 Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 Really? If nothing else, it seems like a good way to keep costs down. (No, I'm not being sarcastic.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 3, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted November 3, 2012 But if veteran writers have to write more episodes, wouldn't that be more expensive? If you want to have a small writing staff to keep cost down, then you probably couldn't hire anyone with 15+ years of experience because they would cost too much to write 2-3 episodes a week.

Members Khan Posted November 4, 2012 Members Share Posted November 4, 2012 On the other hand, you could hire 4-5 writers to handle scripts, split HW'ing duties between you and one other person (or, handle it all yourself, if you have the stamina), and eliminate the need for lengthy, detailed breakdowns.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 5, 2012 Members Share Posted November 5, 2012 Lisa Connor (ick!) is credited as the Breakdown Writer in tomorrow's US episode of Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 7, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted November 7, 2012 Cool. Happy for Lisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 8, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted November 8, 2012 Apparently, Connor isn't back at Y&R. The people doing the credits just had a major f*ck up. How does someone mess up that badly. And how does that get pass the producers? Don't they watch the final product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think Y&R and B&B outsource some of those crediting duties to CBS directly most of the time. At least that was the case a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm sure Lisa Connor isn't crying the blues over the mishap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 8, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted November 8, 2012 Even so, don't the EP or HW at least watch the final product or do they watch the final product without credits? I'd like to find out how credits are done/inserted into the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted November 8, 2012 Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 In B&B's credits there have been typos, wrong character names etc. from time to time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 8, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted November 8, 2012 But since shows like GH and Y&R show credits at the beginning of the episode, aren't they done in-house by the editors? That's how see it in my mind. Whenever they are editing an episode, they receive just the front page of the script and they match episode numbers. They would have all the names on the computer and they would just copy/paste the names into the episode. I'm going to assume that's not how it's done.
