While I do see clear signs of Dena in Dec & Jan and I did see a significant difference in the way November was written in comparison to Dec & Jan, I still have a hard time believing this story that some are circulating that ONE writer can be so in charge for a period THEN another writer is the ONE so in charge for a period. Vincent, Brandon ... they all mention Josh is who they discussed their returns and story with, etc. That's significant because they started airing last week. Greg has mentioned changes were happening upstairs during those scripts that came down for crash.

Bill Hayes had tweeted that Doug and Julie were going to be in the Valentine's Day episode. Wonder what they'll be doing while everyone else is dreaming? I don't think I want to see them involved in that.

I guess it was too much to hope that John and Marlena would be on on Valentine's Day. I'll take the spoiler. Not expecting anything good to come of it given the way John and Marlena have been used (or not) lately.
I don't get this. Like a week ago she was jumping up and down to see him come home. And before that she was telling him she couldn't live without him. They had a slow week this week, it happens. They were together 9-10 episodes in January. If you've been watching, the show is filled with visions, dreams and Steve losing his mind. J&M won the lottery compared to some of these other stories.

And Valentine's sounds like a fantasy sequence for bad relationships (minutes Chad and Abby) no thanks for J&M.

I like the J&M spoiler. I NEED to see them exchange Valentines Day cards, kisses and bodily fluids. Like ON SCREEN. Enough is enough, Days - people over 40 & 50 DO have sex, ya know!!!!!



Everything else sounds like pure fuckery.



ETA: Fuckery and a complete waste of money.
THIS!!!!!! ^^^^^^^^
You might not want them on much til Dena's writing is really gone.

The less they're on, the less damage she does.

I checked IMDb for the Feb 12th episode. We have:

- a delivery man: Not sure who's dream that would be. Could be several of them.

- a doctor: Ava's probably dreaming about giving birth or the doctor saying the baby is dead. So, she probably gets the horror dream.

- a teen: Ciara's dream. Probably takes place at school or something else stupid.

I agree. I don't think it's all black and white. While HWs might be responsible for different storylines they still have to work a lot together, the writing is also overseen by Corday, Meng, Allar and NBC's Evans. It's not that Dena or any other HW can do whatever they want.

I think some of the stories definitely have Josh's influence right now, particularly J/M. I also wouldn't be surprised if he's doing the Basic Black stuff since that pretty much carried over from Aug-Nov with minimal changes.

VI and BB both came in when Dena's influence was probably already on the wane. She was probably out no longer than a month after they started, so it makes sense that they would primarily talk about Josh, IMO.

Steve better hope there is a couch in their office. He might end up sleeping there after Kayla throws him out.
I think I want to see this. And like John comes in with coffee and realizes Steve had to sleep there. And they talk about what a mess Ava turned out to be. Since they had that conversation NYE.

I miss veteran characters having friends. J&M, S&K and Hope have only talked to each other, their kids and in Hope's case, their shadow.

As ridiculous & horrible as the Valentine's Day episode sounds, I think we should at least take a guess as to which character gets which film genre as their backdrop. lol.
Meh - can't be worse than the usual stories... probably totally snark worthy.

Dena, Dena ... I quit DAYS when she was head writer in 2003. I quit because the news came out that JER was coming up but I also quit because she had Bo & Hope together yet I still found the show tedious (I faintly remember a Taco Boy obsession).

Josh?

I was watching OLTL when Josh was co-head writer, associate head-writer, and the show was chit good especially during 1992-1993. All soaps were the chit in 1993 but none more than OLTL. Yesterday evening I was watching a Bo & Hope clip from November when Hope got out of the hospital and that felt like Josh Griffith's OLTL time writing [it's the episode where Hope comes home from the hospital and Hope, Ciara & Chase's trauma & awkwardness was palpable in a really good way, most every beat was being played with each of them subtly ... JV sucks in general but this was a good episode for her as she so carelessly like father-like sons Chase and breaks down with Hope].

And although Josh and Michael Malone could write some crazy chit (Luna), most of their material was very strong BUT part of that IMO was Linda Gottlieb (Dirty Dancing) being their executive producer. I remember not liking what either-or were doing when she wasn't at the helm BUT it was actually Michael Malone's solo reign sans Gottlieb that turned me off OLTL.

"Movie genre" Originally, I read that as each person gets a separate movie, rather than movie genre and thought, "please don't Nicole's be Ghost, please don't Nicole's be Ghost." I'm not sure if it's a relief that they're talking about genres or not.

I doubt it'll be Ghost, but I would honestly probably pee my pants from laughing so hard at the snark that would come as a result.
