Just a quick question about television writing I've had for a little.
How does a show with ongoing storylines use multiple writers?
For instance, the person who plays Kelly wrote this episode, but it has to further storylines.
I have had this question about the Sopranos mainly. Does the creator/producers have a template for the season, then go to the person writing a specific episode and say they have to include certain plot points in order to move the story along?
i've always imagined that there is a principal writer, and then there is a script writing session to make everything match up, and refine.
