Administrator Toups Posted August 11, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks, Jason. That's an interesting choice by Dena and Josh. She's been out of daytime for over 10 years and doesn't seem to have a connection to D/J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted August 11, 2015 Members Share Posted August 11, 2015 I remember her short stint fondly too. It was the most in character I found Jack and Jennifer since the early 1990's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted August 11, 2015 Members Share Posted August 11, 2015 wonder who's choice was it? Dena or Josh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted August 11, 2015 Members Share Posted August 11, 2015 Daniellie is African American and I bet they wanted to add a person of color to the writing staff. Also, Danielle knows Melissa Salmons from GL days and Fran Newman whose husband wrote scripts for GL for a long time. Albert Alaar is also a person of color and probably wanted to diversify the writing staff. I always liked her scripts on the Light! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted August 12, 2015 Members Share Posted August 12, 2015 Dena Higley out at DOOL.. She's taken a leave of absence for personal reasons. Maybe that's why Beth Milstein has now listed as a DOOL writer. DC is reporting that Sony is putting someone from Y&R on staff to work with Griffith.

Members jcar03 Posted August 13, 2015 Members Share Posted August 13, 2015 Paige's sequel is already out and has been for awhile. I loved all things Oz and bought and read the first book and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 14, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted August 14, 2015 GH: - Katherine Schock last listed as Breakdown Writer on August 12 - Jean Passanante first listed as Breakdown Writer on August 13 It looks like Schock moved back to writing scripts but I wouldn't be surprised if she returned to breakdowns now that JP is HW.

Members JAS0N47 Posted August 14, 2015 Members Share Posted August 14, 2015 LISA SEIDMAN JOINS "DAYS" WRITING STAFF Please register in order to view this content Lisa Seidman has joined the "Days" writing staff as a breakdown writer. Her first episode will air in the near future. This is her third stint with "Days." Her first stint was as a dialogue writer from December 2002-February 2003. She then returned as a breakdown and dialogue writer from December 2008-August 2011. Seidman began her writing career for "Cagney & Lacey" in 1984 and has also written for "Scarecrow & Mrs. King" (1985), "Falcon Crest" (1987-1988), "Dallas" (1990-1991), "Dangerous Curves" (1992), "Knots Landing" (1992-1993), "Murder, She Wrote" (1994), "Silk Stalkings" (1996), "Sunset Beach" (1997-1999), "Guiding Light" (2002-2003), "One Life to Live" (2006-2007), "Hollywood Heights" (2012) and "The Young and the Restless" (2008, 2012-2014). Seidman has been nominated for 4 Daytime Emmys, winning two (for "Days" in 2012 and "The Young and the Restless" in 2014). From 2003-2006, she wrote three primetime historical serials for Russian television, as well as the Russian adaptation of "Ugly Betty." Seidman has also written two novels: "A Killer in the Ratings" and "Sinners and Lovers." She also teaches TV writing at USC. Seidman, 58, was born on April 27, 1957. In a 2013 interview, Seidman had this to say about writing for daytime television: "Daytime TV is much harder to write than anybody thinks. You’re writing a detailed outline or a script every week while in prime time you’re writing one script a month or even less, depending on how many writers are on staff. You have two days to write an 11-page outline on daytime, whereas in primetime you have a week or a week and a half to write your script. In daytime you have many more characters to deal with — at least 10 to 15 — and you have to know all their voices, their stories. You have to know their histories from before you went on the show — and those histories are much more complicated than prime time back story because these characters have been on the air anywhere from 10 to 40 years!"

Members RavenWhitney Posted August 16, 2015 Members Share Posted August 16, 2015 Dollars to donuts Broderick is out. She came with Tomsell...they ain't no way she's writing for Higley. My guess is Dave Ryan's out too as he's probably a Broderick pick from AMC in the final year. I wonder if Sheri Anderson was brought back to write breakdowns.... I think in the end the writers to go with Tomsell are Broderick, Ryan, Iacubuzio and Cherrill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
