Griffith's Assistant, Madeleine Phillips, wrote the script for Tue, May 7 show (posted today on Youtube). And it's a terrible script.  I can't believe it made it on air. But with Griffith, new lows all the time...

Here's her extensive bio LOL Literally, the secretary is writing the show.

Since we saw his "re-hire" show first time today in credits, I wonder if we will see any other new name "hires" in the next few days! They needed to replace 2 breakdown & Korte's prior position. Surely (I hope) she's not still wearing two hats!!!

Yes, that's a pretty good assumption. He's worked with Frank since the early 2000's.  It makes sense that he's back as a BDW.  Would not be surprised if Dan returns as the 5th BDW.

FIRST POST-WGA STRIKE EPISODE AIRED TODAY (MAY 17), WITH SCRIPT WRITER BEING CREDITED...REST OF "DAYS" WRITING TEAM TO RETURN TO CREDITS IN COMING WEEKS...
 
Today (May 17) was the first episode written by a "Days" script writer (Sonja Alarr) since December 1 (the last script written before the WGA strike started in May 2023). Look for the rest of the "Days" writing team to return to the credits in the coming weeks.

Very amusing. I've been told that Sally Sussman was in charge & that Shari Anderson was writing on the team. I have no confirmation. I'll be sure & see what AI thinks & get back to you!!! 

AI replies: Yes, during the writer's strike in 2023, Sally Sussman was in charge at DAYS and Shari Anderson was writing on the team. Other writers who worked with Sally Sussman and Shari Anderson at DAYS during the 2023 writer's strike included Mark Smith, Jennifer Johnson, and Chris Whitesell.

 

So, what do we think about this?!!

I'm going to add 2 things here. 

1. I posted this because I have a sincere desire to learn who wrote at DAYS during the 2023 strike. 

2. Changing to GH, the wedding we've just had. Shawn Reeves, Costume Designer at GH, told me that Korte stayed on top of the writing for the wedding. I can imagine why a wedding might need someone riding herd on it especially. I know that for the 2021 Jarly wedding Korte let it be known that she had personally overseen the writing for it & the scenes around it. I wonder if she's not developing a specialty of taking care of weddings. But, I post it only because it would seem to be an appropriate footnote to knowledge of the writing GH 5-15 through 5-17.

AI is a bad source for who was writing during the writers strike, for Days or for any show.
AI just surfs the web like we do and grabs whatever is out on the internet but has no way to verify anything.

Can we please not bring random stuff to this thread?

Oh yes I understood that *your* post was intended as such, because it was a demonstration of the obviously ridiculous findings of AI, a quick moment of lightness.

My issue was with the other poster's post, which seemed to be intended as a serious question.
