Anything known?

[lucaslesann23]

I saw that too lol

[LondonScribe]

Did a quick search (I should be asleep, it’s 3:40am where I am ) and if it’s the same Susan Banks who used to be with TV One, this may turn out to be rather interesting...

 

The Susan Banks previously associated with TV One has a wealth of experience writing... and Executive Producing. As in a LOT of experience.

 

If it’s one and the same, then may I cheekily (and unrealistically) throw out there that it may be squeaky bum time at the studio?

Victoria Rowell mentions her on Twitter, saying she's a friend a hers and KSJ, and the second black writer in the show's history (she's actually the third).

[lucaslesann23]

Lynn Martin, susan dansby and her now right?

I think it is the same one. I read the IMDB and it days she did branding for YR. https://m.imdb.com/name/nm2475406/bio?ref_=m_mn_ov_bio

[LeClerc]

 

Yup. Assuming she sticks around...which sounds like she is, per VR.

For someone unknown to us, Susan Banks seems to have quite the resume and history wifh Y&R! She has an Emmy nomination from *1989* for designing the Y&R intro, yet I have no idea who she is. Looking at where her career has gone it’s odd she’d be brought on as a Script Writer. Seems more like someone you’d hire as EP. 

[lucaslesann23]

Susan A. Banks is a television producer, screenwriter and award-winning marketer who has been hailed as "One of the Most Powerful Women in Cable" 
You would think eh?

[Chris B]

Only in daytime could you have that resume and be hired as a script writer. They make their biases so obvious.

Susan Banks updated her profile on linkedin to show she's been a staff writer since November.
