I believe she came in after the fact so it's almost been a year? Or at last 7 to 8 months. Not sure.

That sounds just about right

Cathy LePard's first GH script was June 21, 2023. 

Dan O'Connor joined Days last June as a script writer, not a break down writer. 

Where has it been reported that Dan moved over to BTG?

So I was pretty close re: Cathy. Good.

I think it was in DAYS BEHIND topic.

Hasn't Cathy Lepard been a SW (I think) for at least a year? Remember it was Jan. xx-teenth 2024 when Dan & Chris were fired. So, we have recently passed the one yr anniversary of Korte becoming a co-Head! (And the beginning of Mulcahey's too brief tenure, as well.) But, I saw it in my desk calendar & noted it because of Korte since she is still functioning in the capacity of her promotion. 

Does anyone else find it a little odd that Dan O'Connor went from co-HW at GH, to unemployed, to DAYS to write BD & then to BTG also to write BD between Jan. '24 & Jan. '25? It's just quite a few changes in 12 months.

Have y'all seen the TTunie IG where Michele Val Jean says she's had these characters in her head for some time & now they have faces & voices, etc.? She also said she'd ALWAYS wanted to create a soap about well-off black people, and black people who were not "downtrodden"? I think that's news. I don't think she'd said it before. Of course, I guess it would be a predictable ambition. 

I don't know why I suddenly got so chatty. Sorry. 

I think this is wrong. Dan seems to still be at DAYS. I thought I read where he followed Ron to BTG. But I must have been mistaken.

Wow. This topic has been derailed.

Thanks for correction as to SW. Frankly it surprises me. At GH when he wrote BD he was highly thought of. But people have to fit where's there's a spot. And this topic is fine. I'd even say it's thriving.

I do wonder if Bradley is preparing Heather Tom and Lawrence Saint Victor for a succession plan show-runner wise.

He writes and acts while she directs and acts. Together they help make the machine work.

Why did you put this in a spoiler tag? LOL Care to source that info?

Ryan has been with NBC/Universal for his entire soap career, starting at Passions as a Writers' Assistant in 1999.   I'm surprised he made the jump to another soap.

Does this have anything to do with Ron being fired from Days?

I won't miss him at Days.
