He is on Wednesday and thursday.

I said it wrong, I mean Wednesday & Thursday.

If they decide to bring back Malcolm permanently, I'm sure JFP will put in a call to Monti Sharp or Kevin Mambo.

I miss Monti Sharp, my first & only black couple David & Nina Long character I rooted for.

Kat and David were my everything along with Hamp and Gilly. I consider early 90s GL the gold standard of what diversity could look like on soaps. It's amazing how far the genre has fallen.

Kat & David were so great together. I thought Monti Sharp was hot.

Why hasn't Jill or SONY hired some of the writers from GL circa early 90s

She did. She hired Michael Conforti.

Oh yeah..

Something happened to her. I don't think she likes strong writing teams anymore. Of the last 3 soaps she was EP, only GH with Guza had a "strong" HW and team. And Guza was Brian Frons pick and championed by him , not her.

Truthfully, the only time she worked with a strong writing team was during her first 3-4 years at GL, and most of those writers were in place before her arrival.

I didn't watch Santa Barbara, but her years there were supported by good writing too weren't they?

Day-to-day writing, yes. But as Patrick Mulcahey admitted in one interview, the script writers often had to collaborate and write the show themselves, because the HW's at the time just had no clue how to write the show.

Do tell. Is there an interview with more on that? I don't understand how that kind of disorganization could work, even for the Dobsons.

He wasn't talking about the Dobsons, Vee, but about the (head) writers who came in after their removal from the show.

Here is one interview w/ Patrick Mulcahey where he alludes to the fact: http://www.soaptownusa.com/PatrickMulcahey.html

And here is another interview where he is arguably more specific: http://santabarbara-online.com/InterviewPMulcahey2.htm

And there's another interview -- maybe with Mulcahey, maybe with another writer (Frank Salisbury?) -- where names are named. Specifically, each weekend, Mulcahey, Salisbury, Josh Griffith, Courtney Simon, and the rest of the dialogue writers (which might've included Bob Guza, Lynda Myles and maybe even Gary Tomlin...all these names keep springing to mind) would get together and figure out how to write workable scripts from the head writers' unworkable outlines. But damn if I can find THAT interview.

Who was the HW at the time??

I am sure the writers on GH are doing the same thing with Ron's [!@#$%^&*] outlines.

Shemar granted Branco an interview.
