Nah.

He needs to improve first before he can even be considered a hack 😂

He should be nowhere near television. Period.

Jamey and MVJ already have experience working together and Ambitions was good. I don't see why she wouldn't jump to hire him when given the opportunity. If she's one thing it's loyal and she also trusts her instincts. A good example of that was bringing on Guza as her Co-HW despite the way fans have talked about him. 

I'm going to continue to lean into trusting her vision.

Might I suggest we move this celebration over to the Days thread? 

With the number of well-known writers at BTG, was it really necessary to hire Jamey Giddens? I don't get it.

Well Gregori Marin did exit so there was an opening

Is Ambitions still around?

Just because a show got cancelled doesn't mean it wasn't good. Ambitions picked up a lot of steam when it was on streaming and outside of the OWN bubble. Also, MVJ was a producer and in the writers room for that show. She worked closely with Jamey crafting stories, writing scripts, etc. She knows who she hired and what he can do.`

It was good but OWN IMHO didn't give it a chance

My #DAYS episodes will continue to air into early 2026, so I'll be showing both shows plenty of love on social media until, well, forever! Grateful for my time in Salem, and so excited to join my friend @MicheleValJean at her red-hot new sudser! #BeyondTheGates

Oh no... No... No... I've seen some of his "work" recently and it was horrific. Ugh...

When did he exit?

Jamey joining BTG was obvious.  LOL  He's replacing Gregori Martin? Where is that info from?

 

I'm interested in seeing who replaced Jamey and Ryan Quan at DAYS.  Might we see some old names who worked with Paula and Jeanne before?

Forgot to post in this thread:

Jamey Giddens has joined Beyond the Gates as a breakdown writer. I'm hearing Gregori J. Martin ("The Bay") left the series at the end of January, which is seemingly confirmed by a recent Instagram post he made.
