Members dragonflies Posted February 10, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 I thought that was Marlene McPherson, is that her name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 She was fired, like all the other original HWs as PP scrambled to save pennies. But her work aired to basically the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 Higley had a problem of poor pacing.. with Lorraine Broderick there as associate head-writer.. the pacing will be better. Griffith can provide the character driven material.. and Higley can provide the plotting.

Members DRW50 Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 There was endless, endless hype surrounding him during the years that DC, Nellie Oleson, and some on this board were giving MAB daily rim jobs. He was supposed to be a savior of soaps, a key to their future. Why? Because he wrote lines like, "Black rabbit, Jack Abbott." I'm not kidding. I also remember him having an attitude on Twitter, but it's been years, so I may be off on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted February 10, 2015 Administrator Share Posted February 10, 2015 Higley and Griffith never wrote for AMC. I think you might be thinking of Marlene McPherson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd mentioned the two hacks from 2010, so that's what Vee was commenting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks. To be honest I thought AMC's production and acting was much better than its writing (although the Cassandra/Angie scenes were strong, David had a lot of good material, and the show was certainly watchable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was referring to her and her partner, yes. They wrote from 2011 to 2012, I believe. As to McPherson I liked a lot of what I saw of her DAYS, and I thought her AMC (where, to be fair, she was again part of a duo or trio, IIRC) was excellent.

Administrator Toups Posted February 10, 2015 Administrator Share Posted February 10, 2015 Don't listen to the people here. LOL I get the feeling they don't like him because he's friends with MAB and Sheffer and sticks up for them. But if you've ever had conversations with the guy, like I did, he's a great guy and very nice and down to earth. He's very well liked within the soap community. I've never heard anyone who's worked with him say anything bad about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks, Toups. I remember this site's in-depth interview with him and he clearly has a love for the genre. I just figured that people don't like him because of his writing, which I was about to question seeing as he's always been a dialogue or breakdown writer at the most. But I can see why he had loyalty to Maria, Hogan, and Jean because they gave him a career. I'd be looking at him sideways if he didn't, but I would be fine if he expressed he didn't care for some of their choices, which is reasonable.

Administrator Toups Posted February 10, 2015 Administrator Share Posted February 10, 2015 Marlene wrote with Darrell Ray Thomas, Jr. at DAYS. Elizabeth Snyder was Marlene's Co-HW at AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 Agreed....I even once said he should head write Y&R....he was a producer there during the 80's and early 90's and has history with the show....(then again, JFP/and SONY Those bitches made it clear they don't want any writers who worked with Bill Bell....)
