Sorry if this is a dumb question but why does JER have a consulting producer credit and what exactly does it mean - what does he do extra apart from his head-writing duties? (Well USE to do anyway...)

He consults about stories, I suppose, LOL. Hopefully someone can better explain "consulting producer" but I believe that's what he wanted when he came back to DAYS, so NBC gave it to him.

He has more creative control than just the writing. It probably comes into play the most with casting, I'm guessing.

R. Guza Jr. is a consulting producer (CP) on GH; Charles Pratt Jr. also held that title during his 02-06 tenure at GH (CP: May 2004 -Mar. 2006). A Consulting Producer has input surrounding casting, the direction of the show, among other things.

From The Producers Guild of America

Executive Producer

An Executive Producer supervises, either on his own authority (entrepreneur executive producer) or subject to the authority of an employer (employee executive producer) one or more producers in the performance of all of his/her/their producer functions on single or multiple productions. In television, an Executive Producer may also be the Creator/Writer of a series.
