As much as I would LOVE for Broderick to be the HW of GL, I don't see any of this being true. Even if Wheeler did save the show money. |

^ I don't see ALL of it being true, because there's no way in hell GL has THAT much money saved up, but I could believe some of it could possibly happen. Then again, that might also just be wishful thinking on my part, LoL. |

Well the key factor in all this (if it was to hapen) is that we don't know how much Ellen Wheeler did save the show. Plus there is the other news that GL won't be using script writers after the first of the year. The hand helds are supposed to save them money. The new set stuff is supposed to save them money and require less stage hands. If they are saving on script writers and just using the outline as Ellen Wheeler said that should give them more money for the headwriters. Peter Simon is said to be recurring if he comes back. They won't be out any money unless they use him - same as when they use Maeve Kinkead and others. I read an article awhile back (forgot where now) that one of the chief ways Ellen Wheeler has saved money (and Rick and I have both been preaching this in threads for months) is using people their guarantees only and trying for nothing over. That is why you will see many months Kim Zimmer has the most Episode in counts but it might only be 13 episodes out of 20 to 22. She is not being used any more than she is guaranteed and same for others. If other shows would just incorporate this principal they all could save money, and viewers wouldn't get so tired of the same damn people all the time. |

I hope some of these rumors are true but I have my doubts. The last I read in the one of the soaps magazines was that Ron Raines was telling evrybody in the soap press that Grant Aleksander was totally happy directing AS THE WORLD TURNS. As much as I LOVE Cady McClain as an actress, I have never been fond of the character of Cassie. To me, the character is a total rewrite of history that destroyed the character of Reva's mother Sarah. I just think that there is nothing that McClain (or any other actress for that matter) can do with the role. As much as I would love to see Bauer characters like Alan-Micheal, Hope, Ed, and Michelle retiurn to the show's canvas, I don't want Paul Anthony Stewart to return as Danny Santos. PAS was miscast to begin with and the character was ALWAYS poorly developed. Personally, I'm taking a wait and see attitude towards these rumors. In other words, I'll believe them when I see it on my tv screen. Period. End Of Story. |

^ I agree about Cassie. She was one of my favorite characters when Laura Wright played her, but since Nicole Forester's been in the role, too much damage has been done to the character. A recast (regardless of how talented said recast may be) would only be like covering a bullet wound with a band aid. |

Just a couple of questions: Didn't Peter Simon leave GL because the TPTB had asked him to be recurring and he refused? How can not use script writers? |

Yes I think Peter Simon did leave for that reason. If he is still adamant about not doing recurring then no, but I have seen several times where actors refused it at one point and then later accepted it. He has not done much since he left GL and has gone on several auditions I have heard. Believe me I am not saying any of this will happen. I have just learned with some actors - never say never. The info that I posted in The Ballroom somewhere just said that they were going to adopt a new form where the actors would be handed an outline and that is all. The Headwriters or I guess Breakdown Writers will hand them the outline that they used to hand to the Script Writer. The actors will be given full carte blanche to come up with what they say in the scenes. I am told and have read that this is the procedure that Friday Night Lights uses. I can see it as a good thing with some actors like Kim Zimmer but some of the newer folks I am not so sure. |

So it could be like a la Curb Your Enthusium, where Larry David just gives the actors carefully crafted outlined scenes and they make up as they go along. It could be interesting.But could this worl in daytime? |

With good actors like Zimmer, Deas, etc., it might not be such a bad thing, but then you have to take into consideration the, um, "less experienced" actors, and well...not so much. |

I don't believe this, but it would be nice if it were true. Jack Smith turned down B&B's offer and wasn't offered anything at ABCD, so it's possible he could pop up on GL. I don't know if he'd go back to Y&R after they let LML fire him after his son died. That was *so* distasteful, especially since his work would've been a nice distraction. Right now I'm sure the headwriter rumors are because of the strike. Even primetime is using this to get rid of many shows, since most have flopped. This gives the networks the perfect chance to fire HWs and get a fresh start. Like I said, I don't believe it, but I do hope it's true for GL. With the new outdoor sets, I think the show could have a new lease on life, but they need a new writer to succeed. I'll wait until the mags pick this up, like the LML rumor. |

Jack Smith paired with a good and strong co-head writer could be good! I think GL needs a team of the best, some of their golden era days when it was a co-HW team! Jack Smith had dull stories, but nothing like what we're seeing on Y&R at the moment, he was true to the vision Bill Bell left behind! Here's hoping!! |

I may forever hold a grudge against Jack Smith for totally bungling Sheila's return to Y&R, but if he were coming to write for GL, I'd welcome him with open arms! |

Well Shelia's return that ended in the surgery, wasn't as bad as what LML did with the Phyllis makeover. They could have gotten away from that horrible story, but LML just continued to make it worse and worse. I will welcome JS with wide open arms! |

^ Oh, I totally agree with you on that 1000%. What JS did wasn't nearly as atrocious as what LML did. |

For you Sheila fans, Kimberlin just said in a recent interview that she was asked to return to Y&R last year, but she couldn't at the time because she was recovering from an accident, so they went with the Pheila thing. She did say that there's talks between her and Y&R at the moment to get her back as Sheila. So, it looks like the whole Pheila thing was a fraud. Anyway, Sheila's been ruined by 3 different writing regimes on two shows. Brad Bell made her a cartoon character, Jack Smith botched his story, and Latham was a total disaster. |

That is a matter of opinion of course. Jack Smith is the only writer to make me ever quit watching Y&R. Even LML hasn't made me do that. He ruined Y&R for me. If he came to GL I would quit watching it. |

OMG? Are you serious?! They're in talks to bring Kimberlin/Sheila back?! I always knew that wasn't Sheila with Michelle Stafford's face! :D This news almost makes up for the wretched day I've had! |
