In honor of Clifton Davis' joining BTG.  (As always, IYKYK).

Please register in order to view this content

(BTW, Davis was in the original 1971 B'way production of "Two Gentlemen of Verona" w/ Jonelle Allen, so not only would I love to see him reunited with Anna Maria Hosford on BTG, but I'd love to see him share some screen time with Allen as well.  Just saying!)

Susan Dansby appears to be credited as MVJ and Guza's Co-HW. 

That writing staff is...a little questionable though. No new writers, all from the recycled daytime system. I had hoped they would try to recruit new and diverse writers (even as script writers) and train them to progress up. That's a bit disappointing to me, but I understand they were probably also in a bit of a rush and needed people who could produce the work quickly and had worked under this type of system before. 

Those 3 directors are sourced from within the current daytime system as well.

Thankfully, he's a breakdown writer, so he has no type of control and I don't see them promoting him above Val Jean, Guza or Dansby.

I think having writers, with a history in daytime, in the main writing roles is smart. Have new, fresh writers come in, as pages or assistants, and learn in the same way the likes of Danielle Paige did at Guiding Light, etc.

He's doing breakdown only; he'll write what he's told to.
