Dean Lamont returned to Y&R as director of the 2/12 US episode. I don't think he's directed there since 2019.

Jan 15 then Feb 12

Follow up to Days credits this week. Hawthorne was only listed in credits (breakdowns) Monday. The two freelance writers each wrote a script this week (William Stuphin and Lenore Adedarin).

Simone Hawthorne listed again today 2/9 with breakdown writers on DOOL.

On Beall, I think this is because her co head writing stint ended on 11/19/2024 and she began writing scripts only on 11/22/2024 so for the award year Josh was sole HW/show wrecker.

James Harmon Brown is also ineligible at Y&R as he's fi core.

MVJ needs to step down as HW of BTG. She's not good at it. PERIOD.

I appreciate that MVJ is hiring great vets (actors and a few writers) but the issue in the first year at least the first few months I watched was her storytelling (beats, pacing, thrusts). She didn't seem to be a gifted head writer. I haven't watched in months so perhaps she's improved, but she dropped the ball in the first three months when the show had big buzz.

Lenore Adediran wrote 1/15 Days script. IMDbLenore Adediran | Writer, Actress, ProducerKnown for: Stepford Sidechix, The Colors of Love, Full Circle

I keep imagining Henry Slesar sitting at home watching the final weeks live. He must have cried all the way through when he wasn't cringing or laughing. Lee Sheldon was not qualified to write the show ever.

Whoever is updating IMDB for Days, listed Simone Hawthorne in order with other breakdown writers but just for Jan 13th episode. She's not listed for the 14th on IMDB.......

Nancy and Laurie talk about family while decorating the tree and I believe this episode was during the final week the show aired in December. Aren't all those episodes loaded on YT?

According to whoever is updating Days IMDB writers, Simone Hawthorne was listed as breakdown writer for one episode 12/25.

Thanks. Makes sense. Giddens will be next to go from the credits thank goddess.
