2020: The Directors and Writers Thread

[BetterForgotten]

JG himself is a pet for CBS and Sony, and no, I don't expect any significant changes. 

[Vee]

Josh Griffith is another burnt out writer who was good 25 years ago but has become another Passanante at this point - he gets shows made, makes the trains run on time, inserts some of his own dark [!@#$%^&*] and that's about it. Just a cog in the wheel. Neither of them should be at the show and nothing will change while they are. Hoping for that under the current management is pointless and foolish.

Tom casiello was in the CDNs credits.

[Faulkner]

Was Amanda Beall still grouped with Josh Griffith?

[lucaslesann23]

No. But this episode and the rest of the month was written pre pandemic. So idk how that will work

 

If she is CO Hw maybe she won't be credited again till the episodes she wrote like the recap?

And he still says he's not working for the show? WTF and why is he always randomly listed?

 

Is someone trolling us here? lol

I believe the first two episodes were taped before the pandemic. Maybe that's why his name popped up and also Charlotte mentioned in the chat that the scripts they are using now were written months ago.

Charlotte was talking about GH

 

re: Y&R: Josh Griffith said in SOD that prior to the COVID break, they "had about a month's worth of material already written. We knew once we came back, we'd have to adjust production to meet new COVID-19 guidelines. There were a lot of adjustments made, taking out physical contact, adjusting scenes so they could be blocked with social distancing in place."

I listened to that Susan Dansby chat, So shes gonna be a story Consultant?

[Toups]

So Amanda was credited with Josh for one episode because it was a recap - she probably wrote the dialogue.

I always liked Amanda Beal's holiday episodes for AMC but she doesn't do much for me at Y&R. I mostly just want Griffin gone already.

[cassadine1991]

Yeah this past episode; the credits were back to normal 

[Chris B]

Tuesdays episode was held over from before the shut down. Wednesday is the first truly new episode since they returned. 

[cassadine1991]

What do the credits say?

[LondonScribe]

Back to normal.

JG has his own credit, next is

Beall,

Harmon Brown and

Endsley (sp?)

 

Then Bibel,

I don’t recall who was in the middle, then Endsley as SW.
