Jamey Giddens was not listed on today's DOOL credits. Megan Titus was moved up to the breakdown writers list. I think it's strange they have two former soap headwriters writing scripts, not breakdowns.

If he's finally gone, then good riddance.

Whoever is updating IMDB for Days, listed Simone Hawthorne in order with other breakdown writers but just for Jan 13th episode. She's not listed for the 14th on IMDB.......

Thank you, VelekaCarruthers Lenore Adediran has been now joining Days of our Lives writing team.

Well, I'm glad to see DAYS employing more POC on their writing staff.

Beyond the Gates:

Natalie Minardi (now Natalie Minardi Slater) is a breakdown writer. She previously held numerous positions at The Young and the Restless from 1991 to 2023.

Y&Rs loss in BTGs gain.

I'll say! Natalie Minardi Slater and Janice Ferri Esser were the last two Y&R writers who tried to keep the Bill Bell/Kay Alden house style alive.

Ok, they have my attention with Natalie Minardi Slater.

I appreciate that MVJ is hiring great vets (actors and a few writers) but the issue in the first year at least the first few months I watched was her storytelling (beats, pacing, thrusts). She didn't seem to be a gifted head writer. I haven't watched in months so perhaps she's improved, but she dropped the ball in the first three months when the show had big buzz.
