Someone had to have known it's been sucking. It's amazing they haven't changed their shooting schedule a bit -- admittedly, I don't know how hard that is to do, probably very -- but it must be hard for them to read forums ranting about things that are 5 months in the rear view mirror for them. Their hands are tied. Eh, maybe they don't care, and also I get the feeling other forums are more forgiving of the show's manipulations or missteps.

They've been filming 6 months in advance for years now because of the budget and licensing has been slashed. I know YR, the number one soap, had theirs cut a few years ago and their top actors had take paycuts. It's not that they don't care they just have to make due with the cards they've been dealt. Where I don't forgive the soaps they keep hiring the same ol hack writers like a Dena Higley and Chuck Pratt knowing they rep. How many times has Dena been hired by Days?? Like the woman gets hired everytime based off her pitches because it sure isnt because of her amazing writing.

enchantingmonkey January 19, 2016 Share January 19, 2016 (edited) I'm getting close to the end of my rope but I guess I'll hold on a little longer to see Beth Milstein's material. Now I wonder if there will be a noticeable difference. While watching the show these days, all I can think of is what Erika Slezak said about Higley's writing all those years ago.... Dena makes noises of, “Oh yes you are wonderful, this and that” and then she writes nothing. She wants to write for her own characters and she wants to write stories that she thinks are interesting but nobody else does. She doesn’t write stories, she writes events. It’s like one event – let’s have a bomb, let’s have a plane crash – but there is no story.

Now I wonder if there will be a noticeable difference. While watching the show these days, all I can think of is what Erika Slezak said about Higley's writing all those years ago.... That sounds exactly like Ron Carliavati, too. Yep! Ron wrote a lot of campy, over the top stuff too while on OLTL and GH. Erika loved Ron maybe because she got the storylines under him and he actually didn't bastarized her character like Dena did. Remember Dena thought it would be a swell idea to make sure Todd Manning was raped because rapists deserves to get raped. I want to see with Dena being gone for a while where are the mistakes coming from. It's easy to blame Dena because we know her history writing this show but Josh Griffith could be doing some of this as well. I know with Beth Im going to get character development, character history, romance and humor. Josh Griffith is a dark writer but with him I can tell when he's writing head because the pacing is better and the actors look like they energized even if there is some mistakes in the dialogue. The last several episodes especially Monday's episode I know it's been Higley-vision. The pacing has slowed, the characters have been watered/dummied down, characters being snowed to get storylines to work and the timeline is off severely. How does she continue to make a million dollar check a year blows my mind and why Kenny keeps hiring her I'll never get. Wow - raw commentary on the current head writer! Where was that published?

I loved her nice comments about TSJ that were followed by her love and respect filled comments about RH (wish I had a link to that). I especially loved it because I always felt like TPTB really went out of their way to make people dislike RH. It was both unfair and unprofessional and never dealt with some of RH's real issues (he never really felt comfortable with Todd being turned into the sexy anti-hero after his brutal rape of Marty, RH was always troubled by the reactions he received and the way the show felt the need to tear Marty down just as they built Todd up.) I personally respected RH for how he felt, and unlike others, I never felt that his departures were about trying to hold the show hostage; the fact that we later came to find out how often they extended the olive branch for RH's return indicates that someone on the show knew that too. As for TSJ, I felt he worked as Todd briefly when he and the writers tried to embody RH, but as the character started to be written to fit TSJ (which was only fair to jphim), the essence of who and what Tood was, and what motivated him was lost. I always felt that RH's turmoil over the character is what made RH's Todd such an iconic character. Todd was always uncomfortable in his skin because RH was uncomfortable in Todd's skin. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/84/#findComment-1882927

Beth Milstein would get the history of the characters, at least, the vet characters.

Josh, why Hope didn't kill her true nemesis Andre instead of Stefano? Now Josh why do we need the vapid nothings in Lani and Fynn on the canvas? Josh, why isn't there any fun and romantic moments on this show?" Etc. Thats what usually a second headwriter does they pick up the nuts and bolts where the first head/new head might not know.
