Interesting.

Oh I understand. He's using that same IMDB picture as his instagram profile pic. Here are some more photos of him, with various haircolors and hairstyles https://www.instagram.com/adamjharrington/

^ screencap from his first episode. At least he doesn't look as yellow-blond as the IMDB photo in the opening pic of this thread.

Cameron visiting for Spencer's memorial service. I wonder if it's just a few days or longer?

Ron's writing ideas aired only into second week of December. None of his ideas have aired since then. The shift in focus was likely from the firedguy who was giving supervision to the nonunion writers. That was implied by Deadline here: "writers strike, which has shifted some of [firedguy]’s attention to keeping scripts being generated" https://deadline.com/2023/07/days-of-our-lives-misconduct-investigation-albert-alarr-1235417732/ From the way Deadline worded that, it seems that firedguy was unofficially headwriting. We will have another two months of stuff the firedguy oversaw in writing, that was written before he was fired and taped after he left. The only hope for changes in that would be if Janet nixed prewritten scripts.

Griffith has revisited a lot of old storylines in the past 10 months for the 50th anniversary and beyond. For example: Mamie/Jill, Victor/Eve, Victoria/Cole, Devon/Harmony/Tucker, Cameron Kirsten, Daniel/Lily, the horrid Christine/Danny/Phyllis triangle, etc. and now Ashley feeling gaslit. And one-or-two-day tributes of the Winters remembering Neil and the Abbotts remembering John. Some of these storyline revisits worked, and some were bad, and some were merely checking off boxes. As I mentioned in an above post: "I wonder who got Griffith to pivot Sharon to be out on her own? And to actually put some of Sharon's individual character personality jnto her company - by making it give donations to underage drinking education, and showing her warmth at her company's launch. And in today's (Jan. 30th) episode when she tells her employees over Zoom that they need to focus on service. I was like wow, Sharon is being written as a person and not the usual Y&R interchangeable executive." They keep showing Nick admiring Sharon for what she's doing with her company. First at her Jan. 15 launch party. And now today Jan. 30 Nick stands in the background observing her doing her Zoom meeting with her employees. Well, upon pondering this further, my random speculation is that Griffith feels he has to revisit Shick and is checking off that box. But it doesn't feel that organic to me.

No problem! I totally understand! You wouldn't have known if the tweet didn't credit SON.

Ashley seems to be being gaslit by Tucker. Or is she? Does this explain why the two recent New Year's classic reruns were about Kevin setting Gina's on fire? Because those episodes included Ashley's mental breakdown after the death of her stillborn son Robert Carlton. Are they revisiting Adam gaslighting Ashley, only this time with Tucker? Or is Tucker telling the truth, and Ashley is having a mental breakdown for an unexplained reason? I don't like Tucker at all. TSJ's portrayal is so smug. I hope they write Ashley as strong and intelligent here. I'm glad Traci is supportive.

Josh Griffith interview, March 2023, about how he's writing the 50th anniv of Y&R and beyond. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/icymi-josh-griffith-interview-1723920/ Griffith: "We’ve created three arenas of storytelling on the show, the Newman arena, the Abbott arena and the Chancellor-Winters arena. Everything falls within those three and there’s some crossover, but it falls within those three." <snip> Digest: "What are your feelings about how you’ve positioned Y&R for 2023?" Griffith: "I’m feeling excited and really energized. I feel I’ve gotten all of the pieces in place for an explosion of story going into the summer and then into the fall. I think we’re really in a strong place with the cast and with the character dynamics and having really solidified these three arenas that I previously mentioned. I hope that we’re using the 50th in a way to get back to the core of what makes Y&R work." -------- Also, in parts of the interview that I didn't quote, about the returning characters, he mentions how they fit into the framework of "these three arenas" that he focuses on. Mamie with corporation stuff, etc. Really he still writes everything about the families doing corporate businesses. The only non-business storylines for the year: Several months of Phyllis faking her death to frame Diane. But the only fallout from that was the Kyle/Summer split. Shortterm storyline of a few weeks: Cameron Kirsten being creepy, killing Faith's cat, and tying a bomb to Faith's body, and Sharon knifing him to save the day. The Jordan/Claire/Eve stuff. And then somehow Griffith put the Cameron Kirsten stuff into his "three families and their corporations" framework, by having Kristen's will bequeath Sharon his corporation. and then the Y&R writing was trying to rope Sharon into a media conglomerate with the Newmans. I wonder who got Griffith to pivot Sharon to be out on her own? And to actually put some of Sharon's individual character personality jnto her company - by making it give donations to underage drinking education, and showing her warmth at her company's launch. And in today's (Jan. 30th) episode when she tells her employees over Zoom that they need to focus on service. I was like wow, Sharon is being written as a person and not the usual Y&R interchangeable executive.

How did she obtain it? Cameron Kirsten left it to her in his will. It's a tech company. She renamed it from Kirsten Incorporated to Cassidy First Technology (after Cassie). How is she able to run it? There were scenes of her looking at corporate reports and such with paperwork on Crimson Lights tables, as she was learning about the company after inheriting it. She first consulted with Adam, with Nick, and with Victor for business advice and there were the usual Y&R endless convos of potential mergers with Newman subsidiaries, and who would be CEO and CFO etc etc. Finally Sharon said *NO* to all of that, and walked away from Newman and any possible mergers, and walked away from Adam and Victor. She kept Nick on as an advisor for a short while. But then Sharon decided to do it all on her own, as by this time she had apparently been working with a staff we've never seen. And all along she has had Mariah as her righthand person but I'm not sure what Mariah's title is.

Esther actually did work as a receptionist for Chancellor-Winters starting in October 2022. Devon said he hired her because Katherine considered Esther family. Esther worked there until sometime in 2023 when Sharon hired her to manage Crimson Lights. -- Recap of 8/23/2023 from soapcentral https://www.soapcentral.com/young-and-restless/recaps/2023/230821.php#wed At Crimson Lights, Sharon met with Esther. Sharon told Esther that she, Nick, and Adam were going to run a media company. Sharon admitted she would be very busy, and she asked if Esther would manage the coffeehouse for her because she wasn't ready to let it go. Sharon hoped it would be a good fit for Esther, but she also knew what being at Chancellor-Winters meant to Esther. Esther told Sharon that since she'd been at Chancellor-Winters for a while, there were things she didn't like. She explained that when she'd accepted the job at Chancellor-Winters, she'd thought she would be talking to a lot of people, like employees and clients arriving for meetings. She claimed that was no longer the case, since meetings were via video conferences, text messages, and cell phones, and working from home had become the current thing. Esther admitted she wanted more human interaction. Esther remembered how much she'd liked working at the coffeehouse previously. To Sharon's delight, Esther accepted the job. She told Sharon she should be able to start fairly soon, but she wanted to make sure Devon and Lily had someone to cover for her on the days she worked at the coffeehouse. --- LOL at what I bolded.
