Tours: check BB credits.  I believe Val Jean wasn't listed as a writer for 12/23 episode. at least not online posted episode. I recall it was just Bell/Minnis and Pinciotti

You're right, thank you.  I had "mvp" written down but copied MVJ's name instead.

Kate Hall back to GH

I knew it!  I wonder if that means Iacubuzio is out. She only wrote 1 script in December.  Poor Janet: first she gets booted from breakdown to scripts when O'Conner came back; now she's probably out when Kate got booted by Sally from YR and GH took her back.  But who did Sally hire as the fifth script writer at YR???

[JONNYSBRO]

 

If Sally was smart she would steal.Lorraine Broderick from DAYS.

I wonder who Sally will boot next?

Kate Hall Back To GH As Script Writer!

[Toups]

 

I think she because she wasn't listed with the other script writers in the year end credits. 

[RavenWhitney]

Oh. I haven't seen the last episode of the year yet.  So they ran full credits on 12/29 episode?

[RavenWhitney]

I'm confused.  Why aren't the other breakdown writers, other than Van Etten, listed at your link or where is Andrea Archer Compton?

[Toups]

The other BDWs weren't listed.  I think AAC is gone too. 

[RavenWhitney]

It's so weird how they did the full credit crawl this year.  Why would they give the four script writers credit but not the breakdown and head writers.  Someone was asleep at the wheel.

[JONNYSBRO]

 

I think Shelly Altman should mentor Kate Hall as she might have the goods tk head write a soap.
