Members Vee Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ron should know Gary didn't "steal" his job - they both had a long, long history at OLTL going back many years, and I believe he once worked under Gary himself. Tomlin took the hit and wrote the show for a couple of months. I had heard Frons had considered having RC replaced at that time, but I've never heard that GT jockeyed for the position. Plus his team is full of Ron's ex-OLTL writers. It's so ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 I thought Ron took a lot of OLTL writers to GH? Fired all the GH writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 He did end up firing all the Gh writers over his first sx months. However, Elizabeth Korte still has her job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 He took many of them, but I believe there are a number of really talented OLTL people at DOOL as well, including Melissa Salmons. When I watched that show early last year and heard the dialogue in some of the scenes with John and Kristen I instantly asked myself if they'd brought a few over from OLTL, and sure enough there were some.

Members cassadine1991 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 He also fired the GH composers, who are now at Y&R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Their music is still terrible at Y&R, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted February 2, 2014 Webmaster Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yes, I acknowledged that DAYS/Y&R's head writers were scab writers, while B&B just had a scab writer on staff. BTW, that writer is Kay Alden, who went fi-core during the strike to write material for B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ron is probably pissed that days has Janet Iacobuzio and Melissa Salmons and he couldnt lure them to GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 The head writer might not have the brass or gold to put on a shelf but still get accolades because the community knows the show won WGA under his/her tenure. I understand the dilemma but that is the way of unions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nope. Not turn it down but just know that your work won't be recognized by the union. Same for shows. If you hire a none union head writer then your show won't be recognized by the union. My father had been a union president for years, but when he was offered a management position, he had to break ties with the union. It's the risk you take. All I am saying is I understand where Ron is coming from. Beyond just being a hater. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2, 2014 Members Share Posted February 2, 2014 The show doesnt win the WGA award, The writers do. Tom Casiello just told me that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
