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.

I saw that.  Would be unusual for YR to have six breakdown writers.  If Seidman stays, I would expect someone to go...Maybe FOJ Michael Conforti.  Boyd is script editor.  I think he is at the studio and edits all the scripts and does re-writes when they're shooting stuff and it needs to be reworked.  Perhaps he was out and Bibel edited the script. Boyd is an other FOJ; wonder how long he'll be with Sally's team.  Seems odd that he ever got the editor role given he had no prior history with the show.  

GH:

- Donny Sheldon first listed as Breakdown Writer on February 15

 

 

He's been Valentini's assistant since 2013.

The WGA are a joke! 

 

1. Did Courtney Simon ever HW?  Toups?  She should have HW ATWT after Marland passed.

2. Jean Pissy is full of sh!t!  Really beyotch...you are responsible for most of the soaps being canceled that you mentioned and her laughing at no one else being nominated is in poor taste. It figures she has no class besides being the worst HW writer in daytime history.

3. The GH writers are scary looking....LOL.....who was the cutie behind that witch to the left.....LOL

4. Why bi coast winners?

OK, I take it back. This was even worse.

 

 

Why only one nomination? Can someone explain this to me??

Shelly Curtis directed today's B&B. Did she join the directing team?

She's freelancing since last year. Like Heather Tom.

Looks like Noel Maxam is out as a regular director of Days; he had one episode in Dec, one in Jan and none in Feb.  Sonia and Scott seem to be getting a few more episodes. 

Can someone explain to me why Sara Bibel sometimes gets credited with Brent Boyd and also as script writer?

It's called a Title Card and Brent Boyd is the (in the studio) script editor.  Not sure if Sarah is sharing script editing duties with him or covering while he's on vacation. Her name has appeared in the last seven title cards.

Edwin Klein no longer listed with script writers in today's Days episode credits.

Brent Boyd just announced on Twitter that he was fired from Y&R. I think he was the breakdown writer.

Is this a good sign?  I hear he wasn't a very good one for the show.

He was decent for who he wanted to be decent for imo.   But I don't think he has what it takes to deliver Sally's Y&R. The pacing has been horrendous. Personally, I think he got the boot over February sweeps execution. They had good ideas but he just can't make anything work unless it's stunts.
