Members JONNYSBRO Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Jean Passanante @PFossil @xxxxxx And, I'm no longer with Y&R so I'm glad you're still with me! I am so sad to post that after almost a year and half with Y and R she has exited the series. I am so sad what Jean and Shelley did for Y and R last year was write smart TV. Heck Y and R best show off of their material. Jean penned the fabulous Sharon fallout, Jack/Phyllis in living room, the Delia Anniversary and it was serious slower paced but so Y and R. Unfortunately smart TV lost and they put an ego maniac named Pratt in the position. Jean I salute u darling for giving us riveting tv and I hope to see u soon. In fact I think she would be a great choice as Co head writer on GH with Ron. They adore each other and she would write great stuff for GH.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 LOL. Pratt is awful but JP barely did much of anything except tread water and recycle and refashion old ATWT plots. I will say that she managed not to produce material that was as offensive as the shite that MAB trotted out but JP's writing was a long way down from good. Unfortunately, for the past few years now, mediocre to bad has now become the New Normal when it comes to Daytime Soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 True. She was one of the lesser evils but I still won't forgive her for what she did to my beloved AW & ATWT. She played a pivotal role in both of their cancellations. So for that, I am glad she is gone. One down, two [Pratt & Phelps] to go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 I still think Pratt will be gone by the end of the year. All the other head writers were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Oh, as a kid who grew up loving ATWT in the mid 80s, I agree with you I had basically stopped watching and tried to pick it back up toward the end but just couldn't stand it, so I don't care about her and I refuse to applaud her for anything. She may not have replicated MAB's offensive style but she was getting worse as she went along and had she stayed on, she probably would've gotten offensive eventually.

Members wingwalker Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 I think he will be as well. JFP needs to go too. She's been through what 3-4 HWs already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Not to really defend Jean, but you really can't blame her for AW and ATWT cancellations. AW was on borrowed time for years, and NOTHING could've turned that ship around. As for ATWT, the show was clearly Goutman's vision. Anyway, P&G wanted out of the soap biz, so it was only matter of time. Her Y&R was nothing to write home about, but I don't think it was as awful as it is under Pratt.

Members DaytimeFan Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Absolutely. And let's not forget that MAB was there for 5 years, her first year was, after that hack bitch from the depths of hell LML, a breath of fresh air - there is no doubt in my mind that JP was only going to sink to even lower depths. No surprise at all that she got the boot, I'm sure Sony was waiting for her contract time to run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Did Jean leave on her own or was she fired? Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 But she still penned stories on both shows, and it must've not been Goutman's vision too much b/c she never spoke out about post cancellation like most would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
