Members SteelCity Posted June 13, 2018 Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 Would you watch? That goes for the other writers of recent years. Hogan Sheffer? Bob Guza? Sri Rao? Garin Wolf? Josh Griffith? Any others you can think of? Do you think that some writers would be better starting a soap on their own? M really curious about your opinions.

Members Soaplovers Posted June 13, 2018 Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 Josh Griffith on his own... no... if he's paired with a writer with a good sense of plot.. then yes.. because they could balance each other out. Sri Rao.. I think wrote Night Shift's stellar second season.. so sure, I'd like to see what could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 13, 2018 Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 Learned nothing from his time writing with the late great Douglas Marland. A horrible HW but a great SW. I loved his scripts on ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 13, 2018 Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 He could create his own web soap. That's about all he'd get I imagine. I wouldn't watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted June 13, 2018 Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 Sri Rao should be writing the mother ship, General Hospital. I would not watch anything created or written by any of the other scribes on this list. Their past work has totally turned me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SteelCity Posted June 13, 2018 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 That's what kinda led to my question. Do you think that these people might do better starting from scratch with their own character and storytelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 13, 2018 Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 No. Bob Guza is a hack. He had decades to prove himself, and he actually did co-create a soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted June 13, 2018 Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 No, because even with pre-established, once-popular concepts and characters that the audiences WANTED to watch, these writers could not provide satisfying, quality material for us. If I had trouble watching characters whom I already cared for when these writers were in charge, I'd have no reason at all to try watching characters whom these scribes created on their own.

Members Soaplovers Posted June 13, 2018 Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 If they had strong script-writers.. that could make their material at least watchable. Days for many years has boasted strong script writers that, if allowed license, can make the small moments matter and help create a character (that hopefully a good actor can pick up and add their own flourishes).
