100% and I am glad someone does see what I see, as well. We have a predominately Black cast and our script writers are all POC, and that's promising. Val Jean knows what she is doing. I trust HER and HER vision, and those who've come in to execute it. Yes, even Carlivati.

ITA...And, many people seem to be forgetting that Carlivati is NOT headwriting the show. He's going to be a breakdown writer...a completely different task...of taking the HW's vision and literally "breaking it down" for how it plays out in a specific episode.

Exactly; it's a powerless role, in my eyes, and one he's sharing with several other people. The amount of people online I'm seeing say "There are no Black writers on this soap" show they're only seeing "Guza" and "Carlivati," and smacking their mouths off without actually looking into the SCRIPT team.

We're picking songs for the show to end its run on before it begins?? Okay.

Also, all good things must come to an end.

It hasn't started! This is planned to be a long-running soap opera! We know next to nothing about this actual show and need to chill.

Even I have chosen to remain positive after expressing some concerns over how the show might fare in our current political environment.  So, yeah, let's not pick the song to close out the show just yet, okay, lol?

IDK how I missed that RC is part of the writing staff, but I'm not gonna let that get in the way of us all enjoying the fact that we have a new soap.

I don't feel like going back to find it or properly quote, but someone said that Bill Bell was ahead of his time when running Y&R from Chicago, and I feel like Irna Phillips would like to have a word with that person. She just wants to talk, that's all.

Maurice P. Kerry lists himself as "Randy Parker" on Beyond the Gates.

I wonder who Randy Parker is? Let the games begin.

Our boy Randy. He looks good 👍

THANK YOU.

I think the Bell example is because he was also a credited EP/producer on Y&R remotely, like MVJ will be for BTG. This stemmed from a Twitter post about MVJ going back to LA and how she was going to produce a show remotely, I believe.

Did Irna have a producer credit in addition to creator and HW credits? She, of course, did micromanage every aspect of her shows remotely regardless as well.

She did on The Brighter Day, I believe?

Some people are putting MVJ in the back of the bus when it comes to her vision and have this show end before it even starts. There are quite a few people who need to check their biases because this negativity is ridiculous.

Thank you! I totally agree! The negativity is becoming overwhelming and I actually hate that word!
