Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 9, 2015 Members Share Posted April 9, 2015 If I'm not mistaken, I remember some head writer [can't remember which one at the moment] doing an interview a few years back and he/she denounced that claim. They said that wasn't true because if so, he/she hasn't been receiving their residuals. But I do remember the issue with Sam Hall suing ABC over royalties. I wonder which claim is true. Regardless, someone who considers themselves a good writer should stick to the canon instead of coming up with characters out the blue. Justin's son could've easily been this Xander. No need in being greedy and creating a new character when you already get paid six figures for just writing long story projections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted April 9, 2015 Members Share Posted April 9, 2015 UGH. Typical Tomsell. I'm so glad they're gone. Serena and Xander. Sigh. HELLO SARAH AND ALEXANDER. Such wasted opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted April 10, 2015 Members Share Posted April 10, 2015 he's not. He even said his mother's name is Cook, which would rule out Anjelica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted April 10, 2015 Webmaster Share Posted April 10, 2015 You are correct! Spoke with the WGA this morning and they confirmed that Daytime writers do not get character payments. However, primetime writers do get character payments if the show is episodic in nature (ie. Law & Order/CSI), but not serialized (Game of Thrones). Note: The shows I provided examples of were given directly to me as a way to better explain the differences. Daytime writers do receive residuals, which is not the same thing as character payments, for when an episode is re-aired online or on TV, just to be clear.

Members tylerbo20 Posted April 10, 2015 Members Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is why days will be cancelled after the 50th sloppy sloppy sloppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 11, 2015 Members Share Posted April 11, 2015 It has only one year left on its contract and with the low 1.4 ratings with a 1.6 HH rating for this week..I wonder if NBC will cancel it. The show is so boring and has no real stories to offer. Not even ATWT when it was cancelled was getting 1.4's in the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jo.frank88 Posted April 12, 2015 Members Share Posted April 12, 2015 My only thoughts for this past week are that the Paul/John reveal is currently the only thing I am Enjoying about this show. Last weeks ratings are deserved. We need actual plot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted April 12, 2015 Members Share Posted April 12, 2015 It feels like a different show when Will, Sonny, Paul, John, and Marlena are on (and Lucas and Adrienne, I suppose). There's actual momentum and a sense of suspense -- even if Will is an idiot and GW is not doing too well. The days that are focused on the Serena and JJ/Paige plots feel completely DOA.
