Members MoTheGreat Posted September 9, 2014 Members Share Posted September 9, 2014 I miss Monti Sharp, my first & only black couple David & Nina Long character I rooted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 9, 2014 Members Share Posted September 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted September 9, 2014 Members Share Posted September 9, 2014 ^^ Kat & David were so great together. I thought Monti Sharp was hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted September 9, 2014 Members Share Posted September 9, 2014 Why hasn't Jill or SONY hired some of the writers from GL circa early 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted September 10, 2014 Members Share Posted September 10, 2014 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.

Members Khan Posted September 10, 2014 Members Share Posted September 10, 2014 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.

Members titan1978 Posted September 10, 2014 Members Share Posted September 10, 2014 I didn't watch Santa Barbara, but her years there were supported by good writing too weren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 10, 2014 Members Share Posted September 10, 2014 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.

Members Vee Posted September 10, 2014 Members Share Posted September 10, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 10, 2014 Members Share Posted September 10, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 10, 2014 Members Share Posted September 10, 2014 Who was the HW at the time?? I am sure the writers on GH are doing the same thing with Ron's [!@#$%^&*] outlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
