Members Chris B Posted December 5, 2006 Members Share Posted December 5, 2006 From Toups' fabulous Writer Profiles: DRAUGHON, RICK Updated July 5, 2004 Another World - Writer Days Of Our Lives - Associate Head Writer (2002 - Present) - Website Producer (Soapcity) Loving - Writer Party Of Five - Assistant to the Producers Sunset Beach - Breakdown Writer (1999 - December 31, 1999) - Research/Continuity Supervisor (1998 - 1999) Is this guy any good? Y&R has been adding some well respected writers so far, I hope this is a good choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 6, 2006 Members Share Posted December 6, 2006 And that just confirms my thesis that The Young and the Restless is becoming Daysish. Probably some of his friends, like Cwickly eg, recommended him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted December 6, 2006 Members Share Posted December 6, 2006 Peter Brash, a friend of Cwickly, will surely show up on Y&R as a writer, if he's been canned by Sheffer (as has been reported by Jason47). Brash lives in LA now and will be scooped up by Latham.....which is a good thing. He's an "out" and "proud" gay man and that show could use some good ol' fashion queer camp again. Bell, Sr. was good at it but not great....for those of us who remember Kay's long monologues clutching her gin and rattling the icecubes as she swore to god! Bring back the drama...

Members GladGirl Posted December 6, 2006 Members Share Posted December 6, 2006 Wow, didn't know Brash moved out to La La Land! Wonder why... Guess he's no longer with his other half I really hope Peter isn't gone from DAYS, but I think Peter and Fred Johnson's styles are similar, so maybe Hogie felt it was too much of the same...

Members Chris B Posted December 6, 2006 Members Share Posted December 6, 2006 I don't think picking up DAYS writer is a bad thing it itself. Look at Paula Cwikly, Hogan picked her up and she won an Emmy while she was on his show. Just because someone is on DAYS doesn't mean they suck. I just wish [s.W.S.N.B.N.] would become official, I do believe she's a strong writer and I'd love to see what she could do with more power.

Members Sylph Posted December 6, 2006 Members Share Posted December 6, 2006 But it’s silly to can Trent Jones eg, and hire Rick Draughon. Where did Peter Brash live before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 6, 2006 Members Share Posted December 6, 2006 Oh I agree about Trent Jones. I wasn't paying attention to the writers when he was writing, but I did love him on Ryan's Hope. His character committed suicide just a couple weeks ago on the show. He's a great actor, I'm surprised he didn't stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 7, 2006 Members Share Posted December 7, 2006 Anyway, Chris B, I’ll give him a chance. We’ll see what he can do, he might be quite a surprise. I think his hiring broke the record of passing from one soap to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted December 7, 2006 Members Share Posted December 7, 2006 Gordon Rayfield was added to the DAYS writing credits. He is listed with the Associate HW's /BDW's. From Toup's Resource Archives: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 7, 2006 Members Share Posted December 7, 2006 Wow, surprised they picked him up. I didnt like his work on ABC at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heatherwebber Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 Some great script writers have made truly awful headwriters. Head writing is not suited to all writers. It's much more complicated trying to keep things flowing and make it stay interesting day after day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 I loved his work with Anna Theresa Cascio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 I wish Hogan would take Jean P. with him to Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poloma S Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 Cascio was the real brains behind that operation at AMC. The show sucked, sucked, sucked until she joined the team and things suddenly took a turn for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
