B&B

Producer Colleen Been is off to Hungary and no longer listed as a producer as of the Jan 2 (???) episode

[RavenWhitney]

I think Seidman is finally out at YR

[Toups]

I have her last listed as Producer on December 29.

[cassadine1991]

Does anyone know when Chuck Pratt's first episodes as HW at Y&R will air?

[RavenWhitney]

Daytime Confidential has reported that Pratt-astrophe material starts airing towards end of Jan.

They also reported that his co-headwriter is Tracy Thomson, not Altman and/or Passanante.

I wonder if we're looking at the following credit crawl:

Written by

Charles Pratt

with

Tracy Thomson

Shelly Altman (Story Editor)

Jean Passanate

Natalie Slater

Michael Conforti
Jeff Beldner

Brent Boyd (Script Editor)

[skiman12082004]

Charles Pratt, Jr. was listed in the credits in today's episode.

[YRBB]

!!!!!!!! What! Already? I thought it wasn't supposed to happen until late January!

[RavenWhitney]

how was he listed?

[Toups]

EP: JFP

-----------

EP: Pratt

-----------

Written By

Pratt

-----------

Altman

&

Passanante

-----------

Thomson

-----------

Boyd

That three tier system between Pratt/Altman&Passanante/Thomson is weird. And having 5 sections of writers is ridiculous.

[Soapsuds]

Are the rumors true that JFP will be out soon as EP like in 6 months or less??

[sheilaforever]

Haven't seen the credits but Lawrence Saiint-Victor apparently penned today's episode of B&B

[glatwt]

I thought Thomson was going to be his second in demand??

[Darlotto99]

Anyone else think Sony wants to send JFP to run Days??? That's why they brought in Pratt as EP to replace her while she waits in the wings until Sony dethroans Corday and will take over Days.

[Toups]

Doubt it. Why would Pratt want to be the a production EP too? I don't think he wants to be on the floor running the studio. It's going to be like at GH when he and Guza were running the show, story wise, while JFP dealt with the production.

Yup, he did. Actors on a show don't usually get a chance to write episodes. I think the last time was John Loprieno at OLTL. And when was the last time a show had a male black script writer?

I don't think Sony is as involved in DAYS as they are with Y&R. I never hear of battles between NBC/Sony/Corday, just between NBC/Corday.
