Members John Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 I was thinking about Y&R and why they gave the HW gig to Jean Passante and Shelley Altman instead of promoting Janice Ferri Esser who has been a Y&R SW since 1989? I feel having someone who knows history would be better at keeping that history intact Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 I don't think there was anyone on GH's team who would've been a good HW back in 2011, but RC/FV shouldn't have chosen as a last resort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 Knowing history and being capable of writing an entire show true to that history is not as easy as you think it might be. Not sure how long Garin Wolfe was with GH, but that man struggled with getting from point A to B. He was not ready or the position he received. I absolutely loved what he did with Carly and a few other things, but overall, you could tell he didn't have a clue. I know GH's history. Does that mean I should be writing the show?

Members John Posted December 19, 2013 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 Garin was at GH from 1997-2012 Hey I doubt it would get worse with you as HW. Hell Id be up for giving it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 They should have been 10 feet behind the last resort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 There were and still are many other writers and producers out there who are way more talented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 19, 2013 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 Maybe Y&R should have paired Shelley or Jean with Janice as their Co-HW of Y&R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 Promoting from within makes sense if the promoted has experience in plotting and pacing stories... Janice Ferri is a self-taught writer who excells in script and that's why she also was script editor. Doesn't mean she would be good at head writing. Natalie MInardi on the other hand who was trained by Kay Alden... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 Kay Alden was trained by Bill Bell, but she was guilty of starting the trend of veering the show more toward Victor and away from characters she didn't write when she was script-writer, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
