2024: The Directors and Writers Thread

Either that or retirement.

Michele deserves the chance to HW her own show, too bad she was never really given that opportunity. 

[Contessa Donatella]

I'm sure this means she's on the way to GH. What I figure is unknown is if it's to be Assoc. HW or another co-HW. 

@Errol I wish you could get the story on how this came about!

Why me specifically?  You're not trying to pitch me to take her place at B&B, are you?  If you are, then I'm through talking to you again, lol!

I just recalled us discussing this possibility, but you're welcome to go write another 10 years of Brooke, Ridge and the local pool boy! I hear it's good money.

I followed her closey during the strike. I don’t think she would be ready to retire based on everything I saw her posting then. 

Based on her fan interactions she clearly loved GH and the cast.

PM & MVJ: not only colleagues but very close friends, talk daily ... 

[John]

I'd love MVJ back at GH

I hope PM & EK keep Shannon Peace as a SW. I followed her during the strike and she loves the show. I also wonder if Kate Hall will remain

[Contessa Donatella]

I predict a shake-up of the team. Scary? Exciting? Now if only Y&R would hire Nancy Curlee. 

[titan1978]

I hope he keeps some of the newer hires as well, at least long enough to see if they will learn from him about more specificity in the writing. That’s part of what we need- the good writers sharing their mentorship with newer hires to the genre.

[Vee]

That's been my suspicion for some time, especially since GH garnered a few writers of color in recent years.

[BetterForgotten]

For her sake, I hope she leaves B&B on good terms so she can return if Mulcahey ups and quits GH in a year’s time and she’s left to fend with whoever Frank and ABC bring in.

That’s always the downside of leaving a more stable environment. 

[Contessa Donatella]

That's a good thought, of course. She's a pretty smart cookie. Also I think very professional. So I am betting that she did this with care & intention. As soon as people said things to her about wanting her at GH she replied every time that she was under contract at B&B. Anyway, I join you in hoping so. 

[Soapsuds]

Has she commented on social media about the rape story? I wonder if she wasn't thrilled on how it's being told.

[Khan]

Not good enough!  You could offer me the Hope Diamond and all the gold in Scrooge McDuck's vault and I'd still pass!  Life is too damn short.

She hasn't posted about it, no. But, typically she does not post about current show content, so that is not odd.
