Y&R Fires Entire Breakdown Writing Staff

[Soapsuds]

Coming from a hack writer. What is the loser up to these days? 

[lucaslesann23]

He says he's glad to be away from the circus but, I'm pretty sure his name was on a few YR episodes in 2020, than denied it.

[Soapsuds]

And his grateful he's not his circus? He was fired that's why. No one wanted him in daytime anymore!

Tom Casiello wrote for WWE (wrestling) for a few years.
Now he writes/designs video games.

Of course I bring up Tom Casiello’s name a few pages back and now his ghost is haunting this thread by his own tweets in response to this thread. Just great.

Casiello was Hogan’s apprentice…I still remember his MySpace blog lol. Of course Hogan did irreparable damage to both Days and Y&R with the effects still lasting today (EJ and Adam respectively)

Well, Tommy started out at AW, quite before Hogie, as he called him, was recruited by MADD & Goutman. But, he was almost a mascot to Hogan, it's true. His eulogy of him was quite profound.

That is a good industry to be in at this point--video games. That's an industry that I don't see slowing down anytime soon.

Look those breakdowns under Josh are not going to be too difficult to write.

Some office scenes with mumbo jumbo about digital platforms and podcasts.

Instant takeover of companies and appointments of a new CEO and COO.

A few half hearted confrontations in the same empty public places.

Done!

Hehe. I knew he would say something when he was mentioned a few pages back. Cuz...Beetlejuice. 

 

 

IKR

And, he was a mad, crazy gamer from way back. 

[NothinButAttitude]

You know him personally?

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, he's been a personal friend of mine for years.

My post in the Y&R Feb thread about Josh using Chat GPT  might be closer to the truth than we think.

Maybe the plan is to sack all those writers to get the budget under control and the add some new (cheap) breakdown writers in a few months.

Seriously I do wonder how Josh earns his six figure headwriting salary when 5 other writers plan out the day to day structure and others write the individual scenes.

So Josh gets paid the big bucks to decide Sally gets pregnant, Jeremy comes to town etc.

His plots are poorly constructed so I wonder how much time he puts into them.
