LeClerc

Ed Fry played a minor role in the early 2001 story where Hayley had DID and took on Arlene's identity after she (Hayley) believed she had killed Arlene during the Libidozone yacht party. He was some guy "Arlene" (Hayley) flirted with at the Roadside bar (later the Comeback when it was owned by Krystal).

It never made sense to me that JFP was back at Y&R in a non-producer role. And now a script cover for an episode airing in September shows JFP listed as...a producer. Wonder if she will eventually have an on-screen credit or if she's trying to keep a low profile...

I don't know if it's him or not, but he has "won multiple Emmys across several shows over the last 30 years", so he meets the criteria.

My first thought was Beldner but the others fit the bill as well. If it's Gibson or Minnis, I could see MVJ hiring them.

I know she and MVJ became good friends during the 2007 writers strike and that friendship is why she's at BTG. I was simply noting that Pratt was her biggest soap writing mentor and Frons considered her a rising star back in the day -- two facts I don't find encouraging given the men in question.

Thomson is a protege of Chuck Pratt and someone Brian Frons singled out back during the late 2000s as one of the greatest talents ABC Daytime had in its stable of writers. Not exactly reassuring people to have endorsements from.

Not even in the full end credits?

Tracey Thomson and MVJ are good friends. But TT's professional mentor was/is Chuck Pratt -- and that's concerning.

Ed Scott has not been credited the last two Y&R episodes... Update: Not listed in the June 5 (CDN)/June 6 (US) episode either...

So is Guza gone? He's not listed with the executive producers, and a Tracey Thompson is listed. Is that former GH/AMC/Y&R writer Tracey Thomson (no "p")?

Not a director or writer, but Kevin Hamburger is now listed as supervising producer at Y&R, replacing longtime supervising producer John Fisher. Hamburger is a buddy of Steve Kent, going back to when they were both producers at Santa Barbara

Was Kyle in any other scenes in the episode or did he just show up in the last 10 minutes for Summer's exit? This whole thing screams last minute. Super quick last scenes with Nick and Phyllis, nothing with Daniel... I wonder if AL was taken off contract and, unlike Conner Floyd, Melissa Ordway and others, said "No thanks. Bye!"... Regardless, what a stupid exit.

Thanks. Is it publicly available?

Man McTavish is vile. But interesting to get more insight into what went down with Edmund's demise. Although this reminds me, I could have sworn ELR revealed after she left in 2005 that Edmund was originally going to be killed off in Feb 2004 (after he was shot at the end of 2003 shielding Maria from some bad guys after Carlos and Juan Pablo...or whatever that story was) and that she went to Brian Frons and asked him to keep JC for one more year because she was planning on leaving in 2005, and Frons granted her request. So did their marriage only fall apart later in 2004? What is this from? McTavish wrote a memoir?

For me, the opening is strike two for Julie Carruthers (strike one being the lighting). She is the EP most responsible for the actual production, so I'm putting it on her. I also have a feeling Ben Gavin won't last long. In the (albeit limited) clips I have seen with him, including his shot in the opening, I get nothing.
