Members JONNYSBRO Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 I keep thinking what Y&R needs is a really strong old school head writer. They don't want to seem to rehire any of the old Bell gang ala Jack Smith or Kay Alden. How about Lorriane Broderick as co-head writer of Y&R? I think it would be great for the show to have someone of her acclaim writing for Y&R. Y&R needs some kind of excitement and I think a new co-head writer is what doctor ordered for Y&R. Griffith is giving a very boring Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 Broderick tends to need a vibrant co-head writer, moreso than being paired with someone who is low-key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 Lorraine Broderick is a one soap pony. Her best writing has been at AMC.. when she tried to write ATWT, it was so so.. and she ended up quitting DAYS since her vision/ideas didn't jive with TPTB at Days back in the late 90s. Right now, she is mostly breakdown writing on DAYS.. and it is doing better.. but I don't know if her being head-writer on DAYS, or other soaps would work.

Members DRW50 Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 She had some good writing at GL. I think her AMC writing was a mixed bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 Keep her at DAYS please. If she has anything to do with the improvement of DAYS, I say keep her there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'd happily take her back at AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 i'd love her on AMC, but now I want her on GH, maybe she can fix that maelstrom of a soap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 I think she'd do well at Y&R. If TomSell gets bounced anytime soon at Days, the only writer I'd want coming back is Sheri Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 They just need to suck it up and have Kay Alden or Jack Smith (or both) come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 Actually I recently wondered how Tomlin and Whitesell would do at Y&R actually, maybe I shouldn't wonder like that... As for Griffith needing a strong co-HW I'd go with Kay Alden. It's hard to tell really about how any other writers could write for Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 That's a rather uncharitable interpretation - she left because she was told what to write by Langan, the same reason SSM chose not to renew her contract. And what she was told to write was Langan's drek. Can't blame her for leaving or calling the tenure a failure due to her reluctance to write out someone else's utter garbage.

Members BrookenAdamAMCSupercouple Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'd offer her the moon to come back to AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JONNYSBRO Posted May 30, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 It's funny but since Sony and CBS took control they really don't want bell people at the show. Maybe they are so burned by Maria's last run. I would love Kay or jack or Ed Scott they don't want that for so reason. Josh Griffith is a talented writer but he needs co head writer.
