If Shelly was Co_HW she would be listed with Josh Griffith.

No, co-HWs are listed after the HW.

Is Hogan still at YR?

Nope.

I guess she is Co-HW. Shelly Altman was listed with Tracey Thomson on Monday's Y&R US episode.

No surprise there. I had a feeling she wouldn't have left Frank/Ron for a just a lateral move.

If Shelly was Co_HW she would be listed with Josh Griffith.

Shelly and Tracey are secondary co-HWs, not equal co-HWs.

I still think Jill will pair down the writing team. She worked with nine or ten on GH and with budget issues I still think some more heads will roll, especially now that Altman is on board.

  • Member

Wondering which writers Jill will dispose of? For everyone's sake, I hope they don't axe the sole black writer. It would be just another axe for VR to grind about.

I think Jeff Beldner will go next. They have too many breakdown writers. Tracy's writing breakdowns along with Slater, Beldner, Cwikly, Seidman and Conforti. That' six. Too many, not counting if Altman does breakdowns.

The only writers I particularly want them to keep are Natalie Minardi Slater and Janice Ferri Esser.

Well, Ferri Esser is in Vet school as is Milstein; both preparing for their next career after JFP gets done with the old regime!

I think Josh knows the history of the show very well in order to use it when necessary so it won't bother me as much if some of the old guard leave. I think thats why JG and JFP haven't got rid of them yet and also JG could always use the long time cast members as a sound board to his ideas if needed. All i ask is ghe calm down with the background music too much

Because we all know JFP is just itching to fire everyone who is a vet because she's evil!!!

Jill is Jill don't we just accept it. The woman's an evil witch who has worked non stop for 30 years with seven Emmys and she's best friends with Steve kent lol. I wonder how much money Jill makes? Her salary must be insanely good.

DAYS:

- David A. Levinson last listed as Script Writer on March 21

Not sure if some of you stumbled upon this yet, but Michele Val Jean did a recent interview with Daytime Confidential:

http://daytimeconfidential.zap2it.com/2013/03/22/dc-713-exclusive-michele-val-jean-reflects-on-gh50-and-career-in-soaps

Thanks for the link. I always like hearing MJV talk soaps. She and Karen Harris are my dream HWs for GH. There was also some info I didn't know - she script edited for SB! I liked how she mentioned the difference in script writing styles of a show like B&B and a show like GH. I'm not surprised it took her some time to get used to the B&B style or "what Brad likes."

And I've always pronounced "Jean" as "Gene". I had no idea is was the french pronunciation, like former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.
