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.

No

Care to elaborate?

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.

Garin Wolf?

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.

I mean, he COULD, but SHOULD he? No.

He could create his own web soap. That's about all he'd get I imagine.

 

I wouldn't watch.

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.

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?

No. Bob Guza is a hack. He had decades to prove himself, and he actually did co-create a soap.

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.

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).
