Honestly i think they should promote Kate Hall as co head writer. Shelly can show her the ropes and she is a young talent

 

McTavish retired like 10 years ago i doubt shes interested. I remember her GH stint being bad.

This is a fitting tribute to Jean P. 25 years and she was head writer for OLTL, AMC, AW,ATWT,YR and GH. I think she has head written the most soaps of any head writer in daytime. Jean I hope u had the time of your life. Beautiful song for Jean P

The big issue for GH fans is they felt she could improve on story climax and payoff. Also her pacing was too slow for some fans. Otherwise she didnt destroy GH that was Dena at DAYS.

Well, I would suspect ABC/Varni will elevate Dan O'Conner and/or Chris Van Etten.  The veteran writers (Whitesell, Gold) are being hired to be supporting players.  Dan was Ron's muse and ABC brought him back after a one year leave (in which he was working on another project).  Chris and Dan have been loyal staffers on both OLTL and GH for a long time.  Shelly is highly respected and as long as Frank's there I see her staying as head writer.  And Jean confirmed in a tweet to Maurice Bernard that Shelly will drive story.

It's a definite possibility with ABC/Disney. Their executives and talent have graceful exits all the time. Star Jones was one who did not go quietly in that good night, blowing ABC's cover by doing a sneak attack in People Magazine and announcing she'd been fired live on air "after much prayer and counsel" - it was hilarious.

Jean probably retired...or decided to retire after her contract wasn't renewed. Either way. She's gone. Hooray!

Yep. The Star Jones thing was hilarious.

 

This is totally off topic but is Barbara Walters OK healthwise? Does anyone know? Even after her "retirement" she popped up on ABC news here and there and popped up on The View but it's been a while, especially for the 20th season she hasn't done anything for it. It's kind of strange. I also feel like her retirement was forced but I think it was time (you could see it on air she was a bit out of sorts at times).

    • I realize I harp on this, but I think he spending is relevant.  She's not just buying new wigs. She's building a mansion, she's funding a sports complex, she's paying for operations for people she doesn't know, she's caring for Peaches, she's buying apartments. We saw ?her get ONE check for ONE million dollars. That's it. I may be wrong, but I thought they said she'd get a payment every 6 months. Regardless, she could not rule the roost on $1M, and the show is not doing a good job there. Pretending that doesn't matter? I can't do that.  All they had to do was add a couple lines about payouts and payments.  In other news, I would love to know just how much Anita was putting into that trust as well as what investment got her what has to be an incredible return.

    • I'm honestly surprised Nikki and Victor have not divorced yet... maybe their brief opening of the marriage did something for them.

    • It reminded me of what the Pollocks got away with all the time on THE DOCTORS: long ass flashbacks that don't really add anything to the scene except time.  Because, if you remove the flashback, what's left?  Monica finishes packing Alan's suitcase.  The end. Oh, well.  At least I got to see a young Patricia Elliott (ex-Renee, OLTL) in that Aim toothpaste commercial (not to mention, a shirtless James O'Sullivan (ex-Jeff, AMC; ex-Pete, OLTL; ex-Jerry, SOMERSET) in the commercial for One-a-Day vitamins, lol).
    • Well, I can't help but think it would've been written different with CB still there
    • I could've sworn FV let other people direct either here or at OLTL. I may be wrong. IIRC Kimberly is now very active directing multi-cam/sitcom work. I'd forgotten she even did Netflix's One Day at a Time.
    • IIRC MVJ said the million was just the first piece of what Leslie got or was already owed, something they did make explicit in dialogue but not too explicit. Still, I am past worrying about it. I do think they want 30-yo elder millennial Peaches in her Sophia Petrillo wig to be a point of pathos for Leslie. In theory I am fine with that, and don't dislike Peaches despite the jarring physical disconnect and need for a recast lol. But I do think they do a lot of B&B-style whizzing from Point A to Point C with Leslie on this kind of stuff - in one scene she is raising hell, in the next she is weeping over Peaches. There's very little transition to that sometimes that allows for the nuance, and that can be done much better and they can go much deeper with Leslie (and most characters). The newer/younger audience for the show may have less issue with this kind of quick change than we do.

       Thank you.   That was part of my reasoning as well. I think about the days of Kevin, Joey, and Jessica on OLTL or Lucky/Liz/Nik/Sarah/Emily on GH or the Last Blast Kids on DAYS or the Glow by Jabot kids, and it takes me back. Sure I started soaps due to the older cast with their divas, but I do like to see people around my age back then, too. Great memories.   So I love a good relatable teen tale. Bullying. Hormones for the Bad Boy. College choices and internal conflict. 
    • Thank you for the information.  I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released.  But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding.    I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it.  So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again.  She seemed troubled, to say the least.   
    • Boxer-briefs, huh?   Well...called it on Cane/Giggly Heffa hooking up so not surprised.
    • Do you have Addie’s first air date??
