Members DaysForever Posted October 9, 2006 Members Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks, Toups. I didn't see the end credits today, so could someone tell me who was listed as Consulting Producer, or was there even anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted October 11, 2006 Members Share Posted October 11, 2006 Toups, thanks for that info on Meg Kelly. Looks like Hogan picked a good person judging by her ATWT background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 11, 2006 Members Share Posted October 11, 2006 I would like WGA to define clear rules on credits in daytime. I want to know precisely who is SW and who BDW for that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted October 11, 2006 Author Administrator Share Posted October 11, 2006 Me too. I know writers read this thread so here's my message to you all daytime writers: Get all the writing team together, then go DEMAND (or ask politely ) that you guys get credited for the epiosode breakdown and script! It's time to convince your EP's to credit you properly! Or why don't you band up and go the Writers Guild? There's about 90 daytime writers right now.....Please do something about this!

Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted October 11, 2006 Members Share Posted October 11, 2006 I can only really comment on CBS soaps but I liked the way John Conboy did it at GL.The HW was listed in the opening scenes followed by the breakdown then the script writer. In the closing credits the whole team was listed. I still am not sure about Y&R.They list theirs at the beginning but I am not sure who's a BDW,script editor or script writer. I wish they would list their writers in the closing credits,like GL did.There have been so many shifts and coming and goings I am not sure who they are. Toups,do you have a complete list of the writing staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 11, 2006 Author Administrator Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yeah, I loved how JC credited the writers too. Damn you, Wheeler. If there's two names after Slater, it's the BDW followed by the SW. If there's one name after Natalie Minardi Slater, it's the SW.

Members Sylph Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 It's interesting to see Y&R SHOW INFO on the CBS web-site: Premiere: March 26, 1973 Produced By: CPT Holdings, Inc. Executive Producer: Lynn Marie Latham Co-Executive Producer: Josh Griffith Supervising Producer: Edward J. Scott Coordinating Producer: John Fisher Associate Producer: Josh O'Connell Associate Producer: Matthew J. Olsen Directors: Michael Denney, Sally McDonald, Noel Maxam and Dean LaMont Creators: William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell Head Writers: Kay Alden and Lynn Marie Latham Co-Head Writer: Scott Hamner Writers: Janice Ferri Esser, Jim Houghton, Natalie Minardi-Slater, Trent Jones, Sara A. Bibel, Eric Freiwald, Joshua S. McCaffrey, Marc Hertz, Sandra Weintraub Story Consultants: Scott Hamner and Sally Sussman Morina So, this should be pretty recent since LML is EP, but look KA's name is first in HW credits... Silly. And Sally Morina is story consultant?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricaKane4life Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 Because of the way soaps are written "daily", there's a reason they don't define it more. For instance sometimes up to 4 people wrote that day's script so they elect to have one person take credit. Sometimes the HW writes the script and give cred to a SW for guild reasons. Sometimes nowadays the EP believe it or not may write a script, in fact EPs come through a Re-write a lot of scripts. Just because someone is credited as script writer doesn't mean 100% they actually wrote that day's script. You've also got scriptwriters who do breakdowns without being credited. I know of one soap that's currently #3 and has a very infamous "soap" writer contributing over there in "ghost mode" (no, it's not Meg Kelly ), and since I don't wish to start up any new discussions on an old horse I won't mention who it is nor will I be talking about it even after everybody finds out--but her name is nowhere on the credits yet she's writing all kinds of stuff. So much for the accuracy of the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 20, 2006 Members Share Posted October 20, 2006 Erika, how can you drop a bomb like that and not tell us! I only wish the #3 soap you were talking about is ATWT. I think they need a bit of a shake up with their writing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a bombshell but I'll be banned from this board if I tell. Sorry. Zip/Zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
