Members LondonScribe Posted January 18, 2017 Members Share Posted January 18, 2017 Add Christian McLaughlin to the list of Y&R writers. Former intern at Y&R, B&B writer and co-creator of Spyder Games. Yes, Wiki is my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted January 19, 2017 Members Share Posted January 19, 2017 Christian was one of Latham's hires! He co-wrote scripts and breakdowns with Valerie Ahern in 2007 and after writer's strike. Not that many scripts though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LondonScribe Posted January 19, 2017 Members Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks for that. I saw his name, thought I recognised it (as in I'd seen it somewhere before), did a search and hey presto, regurgitated facts above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 19, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah, this is a very surprising addition. Never expected. Soap Opera Writer Courtney Simon to Be Honored by Writers Guild East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dm. Posted January 19, 2017 Members Share Posted January 19, 2017 McLaughling worked on Y&R before joining Latham's team. I wonder where his writing partner Valerie Ahern is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 Sally has her own history with McLaughlin. I believe she wrote a few episodes of his and Ahern's short-lived MTV soap, Spyder Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted January 20, 2017 Members Share Posted January 20, 2017 Well, hopefully Sally can build a creative team that augments her inspirations but so far the show is dull as dishwater and directionless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 25, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted January 25, 2017 Y&R: - Michael Montgomery first listed as Script Writer on January 24 It looks like Rebecca Taylor McCarty is gone. She hasn't written an episode since January 10. Oh right, I forgot the Spyder Games connection. I have SSM listed as an EP and HW for the show. Does anyone have credits for that? The first time I saw his name on Y&R's credits was on July 27, 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 25, 2017 Members Share Posted January 25, 2017 McLaughlin knows SSM from Spyder Games. He was on B&B (!) before Y&R, and did not join Y&R after Tony Morina became a producer on Y&R and LLM headwriter of Y&R. I think your stats are correct, Toups.

Administrator Toups Posted January 26, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted January 26, 2017 Y&R: - Lisa Seidman first listed as Breakdown Writer on January 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted January 26, 2017 Members Share Posted January 26, 2017 Not sure why she gets re hired over and over. A friend of mine took a screen writing class from her at UCLA; she was good but not great. I know she's a friend of Tomlin's and I guess Sally too. She's well connected to the Hollywood writers' scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted February 2, 2017 Members Share Posted February 2, 2017 Looks like Jeff Beldner was cut to make room for Seidman at YR writing staff. He hasn't written an outline in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LondonScribe Posted February 11, 2017 Members Share Posted February 11, 2017 His name has started appearing again. 2 days in a row this past week I believe. I also noticed that Sara Bibel's name appeared on the same title card (as it were) as Brent Boyd. This is Monday 13th February. Just under his name. I don't know if it means she just assisted him to do whatever his role is (the name escapes me) for this episode or if she will assume his role going forward. Remains to be seen.
