I'm embarrassed to say that I have no idea what an executive producer does.
So I just looked it up.
http://www.producersguild.org/?page=faq
I can see now why he'd be reading scripts.
I read an interview with Josh Griffith (not re: Days) where he described the writing process.
There's an excerpt from the interview:

"The headwriters work out the long story (usually arcs of 3 or 6 months) and then break that into weakly thrusts. They work with the outline writers to turn the thrust into 5 daily show structures, which are then met on and noted by the producers and the network. Usually the executive producer is part of the long story creation. The daily structures, or outlines, are then sent to scriptwriters who provide the dialogue."
This is why I don't entirely blame Dena for the mess the show is in atm.

Now I feel the opposite. I think December to February was the three month arc Higley drove. Especially since it seems things from the fall are miraculously reappearing again.

So while I think the part about the arcs makes sense, I still feel like this recent mess has Hihley all over it.

That's assuming that the head writers actually work together. Based on everything we've heard about Dena since even before this stint, that's not how she plays.

The scriptwriters have all been the same for awhile except for Mark H & Danielle P I think.
So can someone please explain
1. Why is the stuff now so much worse than in the fall?
2. Why was TomSell's stuff so bad when we had the same group of
scriptwriters?

It seems like they can writer decent stuff when they want to :shrug:
I just don't get it !

That's not what I meant. I know about her cheating history. The poster said Shawn divorced her because she cheated again, but we haven't heard Shawn say that that was the specific reason he's divorcing her now. At least I never saw a scene where they had Shawn give that as a reason. It certainly could be the reason (it would make sense) but I didn't hear him say that on screen. That's all I meant.

Belle told her parents that her cheating was why her marriage was ending. This happened on screen.

Shawn told Belle he forgave her once for cheating on him, and that he would be an idiot if he did that again. This was a cut scene seen in the DoD preview.
If it's not on screen it didn't happen.

But whatever, it doesn't really matter. I don't see Belle as sleeping around or being easy.

What I meant was she didn't have final say, her stories had to be approved by other people.

They probably can't say everything is wrong :D :D though . But who knows - Marlene McPherson tweeted that NBC didn't allow them to tell the stories they wanted.

By all accounts (including her own), Dena jusr kind of throws out vague story ideas. My guess would be that when Griffith was more in control, he was handing in more detail. Dena leaves the work to everyone else, so that doesn't leave much room for depth or continuity.

It's not assumed. Belle herself told her parents she cheated on Shawn in Maine. This was the second time she cheated on him. Regardless of whether he forgives her or not, she did cheat.
That's not what I meant. I know about her cheating history. The poster said Shawn divorced her because she cheated again, but we haven't heard Shawn say that that was the specific reason he's divorcing her now. At least I never saw a scene where they had Shawn give that as a reason. It certainly could be the reason (it would make sense) but I didn't hear him say that on screen. That's all I meant.

Why does he need to say it? She did.

This is what I believe whats going on with Days writing, and Trojangal is right on the same group of staff writers. I feel the major parts, are written by Josh and Dena! And the less parts are written by staff writers! I know from Melissa Salmons, that she wrote Sami's part! And I tend to believe that Josh wrote Ben/CHABBY stuff. And Dena wrote Bo's stuff. I am not sure of now though....I feel ROPE, aka Rafe and Hope, may be written by Dena...then what about Steve and Ava. That may too, be written by Dena...but am not sure. I do believe CHABBY is written by Josh. I don't believe Dena is thrilled by CHABBY and have no thoughts of. Anyway, right now, I am not sure what or what...
