Members BetterForgotten Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Agreed. What are union writers supposed to do, turn down a paying job just because their boss is no longer a union member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 LOL Ron is such a bitter bitch. Ugh. CONGRATS Days!! Totally deserved! They had an amazing 2013 (minus a couple of months in the spring, IMHO which were Dannifer heavy). Gee, once they corrected THAT problem, the show improves? Shocker. LOL. But seriously, the script writers are fantastic and totally deserve the credit and awards they're given. Tomlin? Meh, but at least he's not officially credited, so that's fine by me.

Members Sindacco Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm not a big fan of Tomlin and Whitesell as headwriters but I would take them any day over Carlivati. I also respect them for not being attention whores like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 LOL he blocked me as well for telling him to stop being so salty! I don't care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 On one hand, I get it. I'm from Michigan, a big auto union state, with lots of family in the UAW, so I can understand Ron's position and not believing shows with scab writers should win, but this also comes across personal since Gary Tomlin write OLTL during the strike. But congrats to DAYS though, it's been really good for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 I was confused until John laid it out and the rules clearly state that a show can submit itself but the non union writer can't. Ron's beef is with the union. I don't see why the entire team should suffer when 1 is non union, especially if the work was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ron is just being a sore loser and casting shade at the award to minimize its importance. He didn't voice objections to Days' nomination. That would have been the time. The better writing team won. Ron doesn't argue differently. He's just claiming his union has no integrity. Brilliant.

Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 B&B doesn't have a scab head writer, like DAYS and Y&R (did with JG). Brad Bell never went fi-core. He's in good standing with the Guild. I also doubt that B&B's decision not to put itself up for nomination has anything to do with any scab writers on its staff (not sure who those writers are, by the way).

Members jcar03 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ron was also crying when GH didn't make the final 4 for the Parade Magazine best soap tournament calling it rigged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 I just tweeted this. I'm sure to get blocked. @carlivatiron @nbcdays had a STELLAR year. The best show won. Build a bridge & start to write worthwhile storylines that can actually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Did it elect not to put in for a nomination or did they just not get nominated. This may be the last year for the WGA Award for daytime drama. The DGA eliminated the category and forces daytime to compete in the drama categories along with primetime shows, rumors are the WGA might go the same way.

Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Can't we all just be happy for DAYS? It's not my favorite show, but there are some very talented writers on staff who've written beautiful scripts over the past eligibility period. And for Ron's information, which I'm sure he already knows, the WGA award is judged on the three scripts submitted, which means the script writers work is what's really being judged. The actual dialogue, in other words. The HW's contribution is almost secondary. They didn't elect to participate this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 LOL! God, he needs to get a grip. He's still foaming at the mouth on twitter this morning. LOL! Hilarious. For days he was on twitter begging people to vote for GH on that thing, but suddenly when they don't make the final 4, RIGGED!!!!!!!11!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 U know what I don't think Ron writing this was right. He sounds bitter. Days did have a great year and I think he and Gary tomlin must have bad blood. He must have felt bad when Gary took his job. Honestly I would love to see DAYS promote Lorraine Broderick as I so feel her influence and she is beloved by the WGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
