The veteran daytime showrunner (Santa Barbara, One Life to Live, Another World, Guiding Light, General Hospital) is currently employed by Y&R's parent company Sony TV, helming their Nick-at-Nite telenovela Hollywood Heights.

While pretty much anyone would be better than MAB, would it really kill these people to think outside their own incestuous box for once? |

She would definitely be better than Bell. Phelps is a great producer, and Y&R needs a change. |

Y&R already has two EP. Are they adding on another EP or replacing MAB or replacing that other lady. Y&R just needs new writers. The production of the show is fine. At least this will put one check on MAB's unlimited control of the show. |

Production-wise, JFP is stellar. Creatively, she's not a big step up from MAB at all. In fact, in that regard, they're very similar. |

JFP is known for her dramatic/unpopular firings. She doesn't get rid of nobodies like Eden, she's liable to wipe out the entire Newman clan if she can. She also has a bad history over the years with actors/actresses who strongly disliked the direction she led their characters in. Oh and here's a nice blurb from Wikipedia: "Phelps' career in daytime television has shown a predilection for depicting violence against women. While Phelps served as executive producer of Santa Barbara, the character Eden Capwell Castillo, seeking treatment for infertility, was raped by her gynecologist and thus was unsure who fathered her child. During Phelps' stint at Another World, the character Frankie Frame Winthrop was brutally murdered by a stalker in what remains one of the most gratuitously gruesome portrayals of violence in daytime television history. During Phelps' time at General Hospital, the character Dr. Patrick Drake exposed a patient and a partner to HIV after a condom broke -- which he was aware had happened -- while he was romantically involved with Robin Scorpio, an HIV-positive character. Previous General Hospital producers had received critical accolades and industry awards for stories involving this character and her HIV status, whereas Phelps did not. In 2011, another story line featuring the character Robin Scorpio involved her blood being used as a biological weapon by an escaped mental patient. Also during Phelps' time at General Hospital, a plot similar to the Santa Barbara fertility/ rape story line unfolded involving the character Sam Morgan, who underwent an experimental fertility procedure and who was later drugged and possibly raped on her honeymoon." I can only imagine what she has in store for Sharon... |

She was responsible for that crap ass writing about Lisa using Robins HIV positive blood? Horrible, horrible storyline. God the things she could do to Sharon make me nervous too. Then again she's currently sleeping with her ex-father in law. Can't get much worse. |

This is NOT good news. JFP hastened the demise of Another World with her haphazard and shortsighted stewardship of the show. She allowed the hack writer Maggie DePriest (a.k.a. Maggot DeBeast) to craft the violent stalker storyline that resulted in the horrific onscreen murder of popular Frankie Winthrop. Once Proctor and Gamble woke up and realized how ineffective she was, it was too late. You think Y&R's in bad hands under MAB, just wait until this prize package gets her greasy hands on the show. |

I expect Sharon to be murdered off. That's the final step, and JFP is the perfect person to execute it. Does anyone remember Frankie on Another World? LnD, I'm sure you would remember her and her murder during the Bay City Stalker storyline. She was killed off in such a disgusting fashion, and Frankie was a long time fan favourite. JFP doesn't care about who is well liked, she will cut a bitch. |

She could write that Noah was murdered and the killer had plastic surgery to look like Noah in order to get the Newman money. Sharon finds out Noah is not really Noah and sleeps with him two days later. :drunk: Didn't she work a lot with Megan McTavish? Y&R needs to hire Josh Griffith. He was EP right after the writer's strike. While Y&R was a little slow, I thought that was one of the better recent writing reigns of Y&R. Unfortunately, MAB had him fired because he was interferring with her storylines (hmm....I wonder why? :shame: ) |

She killed off the popular Quatermaines on GH. That's a worse crime than anything else she did on that show. She killed off heroines in hateful ways and was a proponent of drool cup Laura and Luke the drunken leech. |

It was during her tenure at GH, yes. That whole Text Message Killer crap. She loves her serial killer storylines. I expect one on Y&R for sure. |

LMAO....I've been guessing them all right. Its like Christimas in July. MAB deserves it. She never learned from her past mistakes. A lot of people are speculating that McTavish is coming on as HW (is she the female HW who destroyed GH?). I don't know if I believe that one. |

I would hope not. They might as well keep MAB if they want to replace her with McTavish. It would be no different. |
