Janet Iacobuzio, just like David Kreizman, must give great head.

That is completely unfair to Kreizman.

Indeed!

His head game is much better than Iacobuzio's, considering he's written three longtime soap operas into the cancellation and still gets hired.

After GH gets cancelled, next stop is DAYS!

SOD Reports that Lorraine Broderick is joining Gary Tomlin & Chris Whitesell at Days. She HW OLTL with Whitesell from 2001-03 when Tomlin was EP and as Assoc HW's from 2003-04 under Michael Malone turn as HW

LB was also HW at Days From Oct-Nov 1999 but her Character Driven story ideas didnt mesh with then EP, Tom Lagan who wanted Plot and took over the HW duties

This is a very interesting development.

Funny..another fired former days writer..just end days

To be fair Lorraine never got a chance at Days. Then EP Tom Langan vetoed her stuff & then just did the writing himself

That's very true. But I thought this trio had issues at OLTL together. Maybe Ken wants a writing emmy. I just find it an odd trio. Ron you are a hater.LOL

I dont think so. I dont think CW & LB liked being demoted at OLTL in 2003 for Malone but stayed an extra year to help out.

It's just an ood mix from the start. Gary and Chris are campy. LB is not. THough I do feel good about her joining Days. Im now looking forward to see what the trio will create.

More of the same. Soaps are definitely more interested in people who can churn out the work on time rather than people with new, forward thinking ideas. It's sad really.

I loved Lorraine at AMC, I am excited to see what she can infuse into DAYS this go around. Like you all said, Lorraine is more of a traditionalist in terms of writing style, but she has effectively written for "quirky" characters too like Janet Green, Cecily Brent, and Opal Cortlandt. I think her ability to balance these "big personalities" with the more grounded citizens is a strong suit.

I also believe she is a character driven writer. In her short second to last run as AMC's interim HW, it was evident that she had that perspective. Though so much happened, we had touching scenes of just one or two players building their relationships were once inferred, we did not get to see under the old regime (e.g., Colby/Scott, Adam/Tad, Frankie/Angie, Angie/Jake).

Daytime Confdential reports that Lorraine will be a breakdown writer. That means LB's Job will be deciding what happens in every episode and scene , so basically the pacing of Gary & Chris' long -term stories. Then the scriptwriters write the dialogue

I think this is a big issue for the networks. I finished Harding Lemay's book, and he goes into detail about the grind and toll it took on his writing a 1/2 hour soap. It must be an even more drawn out process now with an hour show, and even more network/executive intervention. "Just getting the work done" seems to be the mantra of the day.

Awesome

...elaborate for me.

EDIT: HA! Didn't see the other post. Glad she's doing breakdowns. At least she understands how pacing works. Lord knows we need that.
