2024: The Directors and Writers Thread

[VelekaCarruthers]

She hasn't consistently been listed. Seems she's listed only when Jim Brown is the script writer. I wonder if he's been fired and she rewrote his last few episodes or perhaps she's writing breakdowns again.  Time will tell.

[Toups]

No, she's been listed with other SWs as well.   I haven't watched this week's episodes yet.

Valentini credited VanEtten as HW on GH during the emmys, so I guess he got a promotion again? lol 

[cassadine1991]

That was from last year’s stuff when CVE was HW

Ya know, this year's Emmys are for work during the prior calendar year, so for 2023.

[dragonflies]

but why mention him and not BOTH head writer's? lol 

[VelekaCarruthers]

Because the Emmy period didn't cover Korte/Mulcahey crap.

I suspect there may have been some bad blood in regards to Dan, when there was no bad blood at all with Chris. 

Okay, I'm going to retract this statement. I looked at Frank when Dan O'Connor, who was sitting right beside him, won & that was not a hug you give to anyone you have bad blood with! Later on, what he said was something to the effect of the Missing In Action Chris Van Etten, so he must have gotten himself misplaced & wasn't with the rest of them, and that is why his name was called out at the mic but Dan's wasn't & we know Dan had been present at least earlier. This is my new story & I'm sticking with it.

Always nice to see some diversity and daytime-outsiders getting an opportunity.  And he joined as a BDW

 

Thanks for news @Errol.  Dan has worked with Ron at OLTL and GH.

So Marin was only listed as script editor for 3 episodes.  I guess Beall or Beldner (I don't even know who edits the show) was away for those episodes and couldn't do it. 

[dragonflies]

Okay Ally Mills called him "our head writer Chris" in an interview at the emmy's. So I dunno what's going on 

[Contessa Donatella]

Well, when Patrick left, there was an early report that named CVE as co-HW again but almost immediately ERROL posted that it was an error but to stay tuned because there might be more changes coming. So, yes, there is & has been & continues to be some confusion!!! WHOA. I'm with you. IDK either!

This is the 2nd time she's referred to him as HW
