Administrator Toups Posted January 23 Author Administrator Share Posted January 23 She's definitely a Y&R legend. That leaves Sally McDonald as the last writer/producer/director from the Bell era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 24 Members Share Posted January 24 Whenever the show needed to get an episode “right” it’s Janice Ferri Esser who was tasked with the script. Nobody captured the voice of Jill and Kay like she did. Truly talented and so sad for the show to lose her voice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 25 Members Share Posted January 25 Wow. That is sad to hear. I always wondered how she would do as a HW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JAS0N47 Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 1/29 and 1/30 seem to be the last "Days" episodes directed by that guy. He must have directed major portions of those two episodes on Friday, July 14, his last day at work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 4 Members Share Posted February 4 I know people are excited by her but I can’t say that I am. It’s more wait and see. I’m definitely happy the behind the scenes toxicity is over but it’s hard to know if she’ll have much of a vision. The show needs so much work in terms of writing and the overall look of the show. I hope she’s up for the challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 4 Members Share Posted February 4 (edited) Exactly and didn't she bring back Jamey as a writer after his contract was up? He's a horrible writer. Edited February 4 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 4 Members Share Posted February 4 I've been wait & see also but then I read that Burton thought he'd be staying on at DAYS & then found out that was not happening, that no new contract, nor a renewal contract, was being offered! Well, that means Janet fired him. So, first act I know about & I'm applauding! Of course, now it's back to more wait & see but I am a bit more optimistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 4 Members Share Posted February 4 I’d put that more on Ron but I also don’t think Jamey is a bad writer. I think his talents are wasted at Days though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LeClerc Posted February 13 Members Share Posted February 13 Lynn Martin is no longer at Y&R. In the interview linked below from a few days ago she says a bunch of writers came back from the strike and were then fired when their contracts came up and replaced with people who wrote during the strike (I don't know if she is referring just to Y&R or other shows as well). It seemed sketchy to me that Fi-Core James Harmon Brown replaced Brent Boyd shortly after the strike. And Lindsay Harrison probably wrote during the strike. Makes me wonder if Janice Ferri Esser really left of her own choice. Lynn also says that on a show she worked at recently (i.e. Y&R), the writers were given a note to not be funny or clever, and she talks about the elimination of the breakdown writers, the lack of writers of colour.. I know Lynn Martin's scripts are not generally well-regarded, but I was impressed with her in this interview. https://youtu.be/kiCyBd2YQeA?si=EMwmC47kk49bTiNT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
