Members Khan Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 (edited) The premise is pretty straightforward: pretend you are a head-writing a soap opera. (It can be one that is still on the air, it can be one that is no longer on the air, it even can be one you've made up). If you could choose your staff writers, who would you choose? And yes, they can be dead or alive. (I'm sure even a dead person could do a better job writing some of these shows than the live ones who are writing them!)

Members kalbir Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 (edited) Hahaha, probably not. I'd delegate co-HW to each of the dream team. Edited January 7 by kalbir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 (edited) I'm going to choose chaos, because I believe that I am good at managing creatives. Henry Slesar (for interwoven plotting), Harding Lemay (two-handers and mid-week slower episodes), Patrik-Ian Polk (let's get some new LGBT voices in daytime) and Bridget Dobson and her mother Doris Hursley just to watch that interaction, and inspire the rest of the writer's room.

Members Soaplovers Posted January 14 Members Share Posted January 14 Creative consultant: Harding Lemay...just because he would remind us to value the characters and focus on motivation. Co-headwriters: Pam Long and Nancy Curlee.... Long would provide the energy & warmth while Curlee would provide a Tennessee williams southern gothic element Script writers: Melissa Salmons Patrick Mulcahey Susan Dansby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteelCity Posted January 14 Members Share Posted January 14 Maybe a combo of Guza and Sally Sussman. She's good at character and building a story and I feel like his style of writing would bring the action that her stories lack. It could be a fun team with some great scripts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
