So when does CBS make the change??? I bet the Bell family will do the same thing to Pratt and JFP they did to LML and get CBS on their side in order to get ride of them and bring in their people. CBS knows fans are pissed and this time they might make the change to appease the fan base by ditching Chuck and his shitty writing

I have a feeling (and those much more knowledgeable than I have said also) that as long as the ratings don't fall off a cliff, no head writer changes will likely be made. For now I suspect Pratt is safe. Phelps even more so.

I think I read that ultimately, quality or the behaviour of Carlivati were not the determining factor in the GH change. It was the constant decline in ratings.

Scott Sickles, GH script writer, pays tribute to Ron on his facebook page and disses Tony Geary. Scott confirms he will remain with the GH writing staff and will post more about Ron when their last episode airs in several weeks.

He can sit the f.uck down. Too bad Ron's cronies won't be leaving with him. GH has the absolute WORST dialogue in all of daytime. The day to day writing is very sloppy too.

Y&R needs to dump both Pratt and JFP their long term cancer that's not being felt right now. I say bring both Y&R and B&B writing and production under one umbrella and let Ed Scott take over and report to Brad Bell. more cross over's and storylines between both shows is what's best for CBS daytime. not this crap that were seeing right now with double Jacks and everything else going on

They all should go but leave Elizabeth Korte. And bring others in

I wonder if Jean might bring Leah Laiman as a breakdown writer. Those two were very close back in the day or Hogan Sheffer.

Boo! I was hoping she would get a promotion at Y&R! I loved DAYS when she was writing between James Reilly and Hogan Sheffer.

 

Now that Passanante,Altman and Milstein are leaving Y&R are there any rumors of replacements?

"DOROTHY MUST DIE" AUTHOR DANIELLE PAIGE JOINS "DAYS" STAFF AS NEW SCRIPT WRITER...REPLACES JANET IACOBUZIO
 
Danielle Paige, the New York Times bestselling author of Dorothy Must Die and its upcoming sequel The Wicked Will Rise, has been added to the "Days" writing staff as a new script writer. Paige previously spent a decade writing for "Guiding Light" from 1996-2006, where she received two Daytime Emmy nominations (2003, 2005).  Paige, 40, is a graduate of Columbia University and lives in New York City.
 
Paige replaces Janet Iacobuzio, who had written 121 "Days" scripts since 2011, and whose last episode aired August 5. Paige was first listed in the credits on August 10, so look for her first script to air within the next week.
 
In an interview with USA Today in 2013, Paige had this to say about her time writing for soaps: "Soaps don't take you to Oz, but we had cloning stories and ghosts, and it's like, "OK, how do I write dialogue for that?!" When you get to something like this, it's about making things that aren't real feel right, and it was really good practice for that...I've always been fascinated with Oz, and I like the idea of the young-adult world. When I was writing soaps, I liked writing the young characters and I like a lot of teen stuff. I like that part of kids' lives where everything's new and heightened because it's a first time."
