May 3, 201312 yr Member I think Prospect Park is much more likely to add Hogan Sheffer to one of their soaps. Not Cwickly or Conforti. Nelson Branco had a blind item last week that said a headwriting team may be fired soon. We know it's not Ron who's solo. We know it's not Brad Bell. So that leaves AMC, DOOL, Y&R or AMC. I don't think PP would release McPherson/Snyder so quickly since Agnes probably approved them. I can see Racina going now that Horgan is gone. I'm wondering if Sony is going to cut their losses with Griffith and replace him, Altman and Thompson. Nelson probably hopes it's Tomin/Whitesell. Toups: do you have any intell on soon to be fired headwriters?

May 5, 201312 yr Member Racina would've left the moment Susan Bedsow Horgan left, since they are both very close, but he didn't leave. He shouldn't leave as OLTL seems to have a longtrm storymapped out. The beginning was really promising so far. Who knows how far RAcina and Bedsow Hogan had the show already mapped out together...
May 5, 201312 yr Member He shouldn't leave as OLTL seems to have a longtrm storymapped out. The beginning was really promising so far. Who knows how far RAcina and Bedsow Hogan had the show already mapped out together... I know... OLTL has done awesome in four episodes alone than it's done in four months under RC
May 5, 201312 yr Member I know that Bledsoe Horgan had become a life coach, and was writing self help books... perhaps she agreed to come back to help map out the first several months and when it was interfering with her practice, she gave PP notice. I'm guessing that she and Racina had mapped out a fair amount of the episodes already and she probably felt confident that he would be able to carry on the stories. I'm hoping that Mcpherson/Snyder are not the combo being sent out to pasture... Unless there is a personal reason, I don't think PP should rock the boat. Hopefully PP would realize that Sheffer did damage to soaps as badly as Frons did.

May 5, 201312 yr Member where are getting that PP is interested in Hogan Sheffer?? Good question. I have not seen that either. If OLTL adds a Co-HW I could see it being someone Racina has worked with before Like: Sally Sussman Mornia Pam Long Leah Laiman Sherri Anderson
May 5, 201312 yr Member Good question. I have not seen that either. If OLTL adds a Co-HW I could see it being someone Racina has worked with before Like: Sally Sussman Mornia Pam Long Leah Laiman Sherri Anderson Which of those four do you see as fitting OLTL?
May 6, 201312 yr Member Is Janice Ferri Esser still there? She's the only dialogue writer I really care about.
May 6, 201312 yr Member Which of those four do you see as fitting OLTL? Long & Laiman have HW for OLTL before but all have worked wel with Racina before
May 6, 201312 yr Member Which of those four do you see as fitting OLTL? Sheri Anderson. Both Leah Laiman and Pam Long head-wrote OLTL BITD; both failed (although, you might chalk up their failures to network interference). Sally Sussman Morina, IMO, never has been a good HW, not even at her own soap, GENERATIONS.

May 6, 201312 yr Author Administrator I think Racina and Sussman are still close so he might be lobbying for her. It looks like Natalie Minardi Slater was demoted at Y&R. For Monday's episode she wasn't listed in the Associate Head Writers section, she was instead listed in daily episode section where she's never listed.
