I'm hearing that  certain (villified)( GL headwriter is joining one of the three hour long soaps soon......

Kriezman?

Well, Chris Dunn has left Days and is now a breakdown writer ad Young and Restless!  So you might see Kreizman on the Days writing staff, replacing Dunn:)

Dunn added YR to his Facebook recently!  He's known Pratt for a long time, since Santa Barbara....

I don't know if Dunn and Pratt worked together at Santa Barbara - they might've just missed each other. The only place they really worked together was at AMC.   Y&R is becoming team AMC: Pratt, Gold, Beldner, Beall, Hall, Taylor McCarty, Thomson, and now Dunn. 

 

I wonder if DAYS might go with a smaller staff if they're gonna start writing less episodes a week to shorten the length between tape and air dates.

Why doesn't CBS just cancel Y&R so ABC can pick it up. Good grief.

Y&R:

- Michael Montgomery first listed as Writer on April 7

 

He's listed under Brent Boyd so I have no idea what his title is.  He was with Y&R from 2006 to around 2013. 

It's indeed a surprising hiring...

If he's listed with Boyd then he's a script editor.  

If he's listed with Boyd then he's a script editor.  

So Y&R has two script editors? Since I don't have Twitter, someone should tweet Boyd and ask him. 

 

Edit: he's not listed in Friday's episode so he can't be script editor. Script editors are listed everyday. 

Edited April 8, 201610 yr by Toups

Beth's name also appeared under Boyd and it was when he was on vacation and she edited a script.  He may have edited one script and maybe he's the backup.

Backup editor...that could be it....good point. 

B&B: Mark V Pinciotti first listed as writer in all credits on Feb 1

Someone on twitter should ask what his title is.   For now I guess I'll just list him as Associate Writer. 

I don't know if anyone ever asked on Twitter, but IMDB has him listed as Associate Head Writer starting with the Feb 1 episode.

 

They also have him listed with the middle initial for almost all his writing credits on the show except for Episode 7000 (which wasn't scripted) and three others.

He was with Y&R from 2006 to around 2013. 

Thrilling.

Mark Pinciotti was off the B&B writing credits as of yesterday (April 12)...

In the International Credits, anyway - but in the CBS credits, he was listed. Strange...

And even stranger, he was back in both credits today. Maybe we should call Mr. Pinciotti the Incredible Vanishing Writer!

B&B:

Shelley Curtis first listed as director on April 13.

(although her name was misspelled as Shelly)
