The scriptwriters of the series don't do a whole lot of scriptwriting. They provide more of ideas for the series and help script for individual plotlines with characters. For example, if I need help with ending an episode and we need to build a relationship, the scriptwriters will give me their ideas. Or ideas in general for that matter - about where the storyline should go and how different episodes should begin/end. They also help with developing characters and give pointers on how to make the story better or unique. They actually should be called brainstormers but calling them scriptwriters garner more of the attention I want.
