2020: The Directors and Writers Thread

[RavenWhitney]

Looks like Michael Eilbaum is no longer directing Y&R; makes sense since he's based in NYC and was flying out to CA. UPDATE: he's back

Apparently, Meng was removed from broadcast credits on Days but his name was still listed online credits for Tuesday's episode.

There were no writing credits for Thursday's Y&R - only the producers and director were listed.  Weird.   Checked on both Global and CBS episodes.

Given the standard of writing, who’d want to take credit?

Yeah there were. Alan Smithee.

Amanda Beall wrote the breakdown on Monday's US episode with Brent Boyd as script writer. It's been years since she's (been credited for) written an outline.  Susan Danby should start being listed soon as story consultant; she started on 1 Sept.

Having watched tomorrow’s episode (December 2nd), James Harmon Brown was gone from the credits. 
 

Unsure if it’s temporary or permanent.

Sara Ensley removed from associate head writer credits on Y&R today, 12/28 US episode.

If it’s like James Harmon Brown, then she may still contribute scripts, just without any story influence.

 

But at the end of the day, the fish rots from the head.
