Amazing interview with Sheri Anderson. So much history with other writers. Lots and lots of information and stories.
This interview definitely deserves its own thread!

She talks about the process of writing, what it's like to be a scriptwriter, breakdown writer, head writer. She names past soap writers and what it was like to work with them, working under other writers, working alongside other writers, finding writing staff to work under you. Working with producers. What they did in the old days when an actor wasn't fitting the writing, or a pairing didn't have chemistry --- how/if the writing could be adapted or not.

A lot of of information, all interesting!

Sheri gives a lot of info on how it came to be written that Luke rape Laura, and how this was done. A lot of background information about what the head of the network said.

@Toups @Errol please move/merge/rearrange the two identical Sheri threads, however you think is best.
One thread is in general "Discuss the Soaps", because a lot of the interview is about the process of soaps writing and a large part of the interview is about GH. in addition to Days. The other thread is in the Days section, since that's what Sheri is most known for. Whatever/wherever you think is best.
