Members VelekaCarruthers Posted June 9 Members Share Posted June 9 While I don't claim to have any inside knowledge (like some Bayview Sanitarium escapees on this board), it could be that Varni was behind PM return. Valentini groomed (ahem) O'Connor and Van Etten on OLTL. PM always seemed to be something done by an executive at ABC not Valentini. But it's just my humble speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members VelekaCarruthers Posted June 13 Members Share Posted June 13 I believe Lindsay Harrison is out as Y&R scriptwriter; she completed 21 scripts between 2/2 and 4/24, replaced by Griffith's assistant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted June 15 Members Share Posted June 15 (edited) Toups and other writer fans, I just compiled a list, from the WGA directory (which now lists members as deceased) and additional research, of all the Days writers in another thread.

Members JAS0N47 Posted June 16 Members Share Posted June 16 "DAYS" DIRECTORS VIA DGA DIRECTORY: Unlike the WGA directory, which is helpful listing any members who are deceased, it looks like the DGA Directory stops listing members if they are no longer active or let their membership lapse. But, from doing this and additional research, I did update the memorial list with the deaths of Rick Bennewitz, Gordon Rigsby, Randy Robbins, John Sedwick and the first female "Days" director from 1965, Livia Granito. I did confirm that John Desmond was born 12/28/21, but have not found any confirmation of his death, but if he is alive, he would be 102. The other 11 "not listed" directors (Baffico, Brinckerhoff, Denney, Evans, Greenlaw, Inman, Madeiras, Simon, Steinberg, Wyman and Zak) must have let their DGA membership lapse.

Members VelekaCarruthers Posted Wednesday at 09:14 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 09:14 PM Steve Kent first listed as Executive In Charge in 6/20 Y&R episode. His title card is placed in the opening scenes just before the director credit. The show can only get worse with him fully involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted Thursday at 08:54 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 08:54 PM (edited) (in response to viewer question if he's still at DAYS, as his name was seen in the credits when the writers returned but hasn't been seen recently.) https://twitter.com/Jamey_Giddens/status/1803889416819347850 Jamey_Giddens @Jamey_Giddens June 20, 2024 I am. I returned to #DAYS shortly after the strike ended. I pulled double duty working on #DAYS and serving as Head Writer for the upcoming Season 8 of #SistasOnBET. (in response to a tweet commenting: "How much longer do you have at DAYS? If I remember correctly, you were leaving when your contract was up but the writer's strike affected that. And I hope #TheGates have contacted you.") https://twitter.com/Jamey_Giddens/status/1803895156749308296 Jamey_Giddens @Jamey_Giddens June 20, 2024 I left briefly but came back. Very happy in Salem U.S.A. #DAYS Edited Friday at 12:52 AM by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
