ABC chose Megan McTavish, a former actress who had been on the writing team since 1987, to be its new headwriter.
When Megan McTavish was fired from her head writing post in the spring, former associate head writer Lorraine Broderick was tapped by Behr as the new head writer.
In July 2006, it was suggested that headwriter Megan McTavish was being fired and staff writers Amanda L. Beall and Jeff Beldner were being promoted to replace her.

McTavish and Behr proved to be a powerful duo, crafting stories that received praise from both the soap magazines and from fans.
Apart from the anorexia story, McTavish’s tales were plot-driven and made severe, implausible alterations to the show's history (such as the resurrection of Erica's lifetime-love, Mike Roy).
McTavish's latest stint as head writer has currently left many fans divided, as critics have found her writing again drifting toward plot-driven gimmicks and sacrifices of the show's history.

Megan McTavish: What really appealed to me about it being Tad is that it's so understandable, to me anyway, that having found out that this man knew where Kate was and having been denied Kate all these years, [he could have reached a breaking point].
McTavish: Well, you know, I had a number to choose from and I didn't decide right away [that it was Tad].
McTavish: I think that he was going to, and perhaps he made the wrong decision by not, but Krystal had told him, "Whoever killed that man should not do a day in prison for it." Tad was about to come forward and decided not to in that moment.

From 1970 to 1992, the show was either written by Nixon herself or by her protégé, Wisner Washam.
When the executives at ABC wished to bring in new blood on the writing staff, they promoted team writer Megan McTavish into the head position, where She would stay until 1995, with another stint from 1997 to 1999.
The writing team stayed the same, under the direction of Wisner Washam, but the ABC daytime drama department wished to elevate Megan McTavish to the role of head writer (she had been affiliated with the show since 1987).
