Suzanne = Suzanne Keilly, who wrote the short Joe linked.
Yep, the rumor is he's been replaced by one of the guys who co-wrote My name is Bruce. In case you wanted the show to be MORE like that.

Hmmm
I wonder if that makes Ep 8 the jail ep.
This could be interesting; my fingers are crossed for it!

ETA: @ Joe - have they attached a writer to episode yet? It's still a blank slot on Wikipedia.

Oh, God... Please, let this be true. I was starting to notice how silent he was lately. Last year he was in almost every interview and behind the scenes video. This year it's almost as if he was never a part of it at all. It almost feels cruel to say this, as I'm sure he meant well, worked his ass off and the show probably wouldn't have happened without him, but it always seemed to me he was a little lost and had bit more than he could chew. He always looked like a rather poor leader and I feel a lot of the first season's problems were his fault. He just never seemed to have a clear idea of where the show was supposed to go and what Evil Dead was supposed to be.

Well... Crap.

That does indeed sound very interesting. I just hope they do as much with it as they can and don't play it just for laughs. That's a great opportunity to give Ash some actual personality and character development and that's why it sounds so interesting to a lot of us. It is also an opportunity to finally spend some time with him (mostly) alone. I sincerely hope it isn't just a scene of
Ash fighting his therapy puppet and nothing else

Daredevil and especially Battlestar Galactica are really impressive (and if I know my BSG well, all the episodes he wrote were excellent). Before Ash, Craig DiGregorio "only" wrote some Reaper, Chuck, or Workaholics episodes, so I believe this would be a change to the right direction.

@Joem1k / @Hurley - Ok, you guys convinced me. He deserves a fair shot.

I'm willing to give him a shot too, though his track record does have some spots on it (I've seen people complain about the way he wrote Daredevil and BSG and Smallville fans I'm friends with have been marginally complimentary toward his work).
Found the interview Bruce did about the situation, it was for AICN.
You can surmise from that that he's either supervising the writing or he's the new running EP; since he has no credits for S2 Bruce seems to be talking about S3.

Being involved with a show the quality of Daredevil certainly gets me excited. I sure hope he sees the franchise more the way we do.
The Asylum episode is one of those things I would want on a mandatory checklist of "ways to explore Ash," and while I am excited, I will expect them to come up short with it. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

^^ What Kain said.
I'm wondering if they were trying to wrangle seasons 3 and 4 out of them at the same time after all and Starz would only agree to give them S3, so they locked the deal down before Bruce went to Spain for the Sitges Festival. That was a weirdly long period between the initial announcement and the eventual confirmation from Bruce.
ETA: should be back with ratings in a few hours!

Here's the ratings, While it's still good were in 300 area for viewers but it went down a tiny bit but not a whole lot, its at this point with the ratings that i'm not longer gonna care for them because of how starz is operated and it being subscription based channel, so something is obviously holding the show up since they got the renewal but i hope the viewership rises a bit for next week's episode considering with what all happen in episode 3 but like i said before hand i ain't gonna hold my breath on it any longer TBH.

It only went up a tick from the post-premiere crash we had last year, which isn't the best news. This brings them in at 59th place this week, by the way.
Surprised the head-up-the-butt stunt last week didn't gain them any traction.
You (by which I mean all of us and not specifically you, Joe) should actually should care about ratings, though, because Starz apparently takes them into account along with subscription numbers; that's why DaVinci's Demons got canned after three seasons of slowly decelerating ratings and they made the mistake of canning Spartacus even though the show kept getting better numbers in Syndication because they got worse and worse broadcast numbers for original airings (this is by Bruce's own admission, and he'd know). Otherwise Spartacus would still be airing to keep its cult audience happy; they don't just keep shows running for no reason. The show probably got renewed because of whatever numbers the Starz ap is doing plus DVD sales plus whatever the total weekly cumes ended up being (something like 700k a week?), but everything can change in the blink of an eye.
I'm wondering what they'll do with S3. The fact that they're doing an EP shuffle is a sign, and something Starz has actually requested of other shows (IE DVD and TGE, which has terrible numbers but is being renewed with a complete writer, director, actor and producer overhaul next season as I've said before). It's quite possible that they might shuffle AvED off to Fridays if numbers don't perk up and most of the numbers come from binge watchers, and quite likely the partnership with Blunt Talk will be over (it actually got a .03 this week, which is remarkably awful), which will only benefit them. I do find it interesting that Bruce didn't get the double renewal he was all but demanding in the press. It's mixed news, but at least season 3's been guaranteed.
My best advice, as always, is to watch the show a bunch on the ap or OnDemand. At least one DVR replay counts toward it too.

As long as the ratings aren't going down, that's at least good news. It would be better if we gained, though.
