Thanks, yes I do know a couple and plan to ask them, but just wondered if there are any known figures in the industry and thought SON may know.

Great, that is who you need to talk to!

This is amazing when you think of the impact all three writers had on the show. Bill Bell's time on the show was pretty universally loved and JER while controversial, was an important part of turning the show around in the 90s. It's amazing to think Ron had roughly the same amount of time and didn't have nearly the impact either of those writers had.

So, Ron’s last day is the 22nd, not the 23rd?

I think about Bill Bell saying he thought the sex between Bill & Laura was consensual that awful night & I think OH SH*T ... 

I think about JER & yes I get it about the ratings but still & all the time was so divisive &  polarizing. 

Finally, left with Carlivati to think about how his tenure was just as notable but in totally a negative way. 

The last thing I think is @JAS0N47how is it that we've thought all this time that his last day was the 23rd & now we learn it's really the 22nd? Can this be explained?

Stephanie Sloane's column said the new writers debut April 23, so that's the date I used. If I have to adjust the data and the date changes by a day, then at least it's an easy fix.

No, this is what it says:

❝ Episodes from the new head writing team of Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford will start airing on April 24, 2025. ❞

That looks like it was posted January 1. I was going with the more recent print edition of this article by Stephanie, which was just published, so looks like she has adjusted the date to April 23 as the new start date:

Thanks.  So I guess that means he wrote the breakdown for Tuesday's episode - I will give him that credit for the archive.   Please let me know if/when he's credited again with the BDWs. 

Dan was listed with both the breakdown and script writers again today.

Glad Carlivati didn't beat Reilly.  LOL.  Thanks, Jason.

When I was updating the writer pages today, I see my math was bad by 1. So Carlivati did 1970 episodes as of today, 99 less than Reilly. If he does one more day tomorrow (since there have been conflicting dates of 4/22 and 4/23), then it will be 1971 episodes in total.

Here's the updated staff bios page with the new head writers: https://www.jason47.com/days/staffbios.html

Checked with the publicist today and she said his last episode is tomorrow and they start 4/24, so that puts him at 1971 episodes.
