Oh I hope Latham is on her way out, along with Amber too please!

And don't be suprised if there are many exits and returns of favorites after Jan. 2008.

Does this means John going to be unghosted? Even if Davetta don't want to ocme back as Lily can we get a recast of Lily. I'm hoping Victoria Rowell is on her way back & maybe this time they will let her hire the girl she wants to play her daughter. & also would let Victoria write some storylines.

Wendy Riche + Y&R = Ratings & Emmy Gold! My only concern is that FOWs (Friends of Wendy, lol) would start popping up on the screen.

It couldn't be any worse than the Friends of Latham we've seen both on screen and behind the scenes this past year and a half.

I'm just surprised Riche has been relatively unemployed since leaving GH, outside of being co-EP of Laguna Beach's first season.

Riche guided GH to 5 Emmy wins for Outstanding Drama Series, during her 9 years there. As EP, I believe she has the record for most wins in that category, from a single show. While Bill Bell was credited as Senior EP for 6 of Y&R's Outstanding Drama Series, the EP's were either John Conboy, H. Wes Kenney, Edward J. Scott, or David Shaughnessy.

If she's really coming to Y&R, then good. I believe she's one of the VERY FEW people who can turn the show around. When she inherited GH in 1992, that show was an utter disaster (yes, even much worse than it is now!). However, she managed to bring that show out of the gutter and into a creative renaissance. GH hasn't been the same since she left.

According to Patrick Mulcahy, she drove Guza insane and kept him in check. We've seen how awful he is without her at GH. Though she was always on the writer's backs, they respected her, or at least Mulcahy did.

To me out of The ashes was Boring, moved to slow, and pointless. Here we had all these characters huffing and puffing with some dirt on there faces and for what? What was the point? YR to me is becoming a tad bit stale but still good, and this is coming from a supporter of LML as many of you all know. I do loved the dialog though. It's very witty and I hope some of those returns include Drucilla, and Devetta Sherwood and Heather Tom.

In having said that I know WR was on GH but don't much about her style

Let's just hope to GOD it's TRUE.

I'd love Wendy Riche back in daytime, either back at GH or any other show. I think she could do WONDERS with Y&R.

Did I miss something? What is Fi-Core and is Josh is indeed the EP again, what will he bring to the show? I don't know his style all that well. I didn't even know he was writing as well until I read some of these post

Wendy Riche? I'm not sure about that.

Just my speculation but I fully believe Josh Griffith is the new EP. He and Steve Kent brokered a deal and that's why Josh went on Fi-Core. I don't think Josh would've went on Fi-Core just for nothing.

I'm sorry but one more thing. I think CBS as a whole as far as ratings are still pretty good. B&B have been inching back up, thanks to KA, and ATWT has been no 3 for the last few weeks and even GL is hovering around a 2.0/1.9 which is good for them considering Days and Amc has tied or even ranked below them.

Some one else stated that Bloom doesn't have to much control over the P&G shows because just that, they are owned by PGP and same goes for B&B and Bell.

Who would be considered FOWs? Like would we see Sarah Brown or Lisa Cerasoli on the show? Or Jonathan Jackson as Billy Abbott?

Bring it!

Josh is a writer and that's why he was brought on. I'm certain that his production credit is some form of title involving his actual writing of stories if not scripts.

Whatever else might be made of the rumours I can't believe Barbara Bloom would be made a scapegoat by Sony since she doesn't work FOR Sony. She works for CBS. If CBS decided to get rid of her that would be one thing. Sony can't make CBS get rid of her. CBS might want to for their own reasons but that doesn't match what this person is saying in that post.

Wendy Riche has a production company which owned part of Gilmore Girls. I think it's been involved in some other shows too.

It's looking more and more likely Latham will be out of a job soon, mainly for neglecting her showrunning duties.

In another sign of the studios’ determination to impose their will, CBS became the first company to send letters to its striking showrunners (creators or executive producers of television programs) threatening them with legal action. A day after some 100 or more showrunners expressed their solidarity with the writers outside Disney Studios in Burbank and made clear their intention to remain off the job, according to Deadlinehollywooddaily.com, “showrunners participating in the writers’ strike say they’ve been sent ‘breach of contract’ letters from CBS yesterday telling them that if they don’t report back to work then they’ll be sued. The news was announced at a closed door, extremely secret meeting of 115 showrunners who gathered at the Writers Guild of America to discuss strike-related issues amongst themselves.”

Fire the Witch!

I'm pretty sure Griffith hasn't been part of the Y&R writing team since he was promoted to Co-EP. Wasn't he replaced with Scott Hamner?

Griffith joined Y&R as a Creative Consultant who wrote breakdowns. Hamner joined as a Story Consultant who wrote breakdowns.

PGP has complete control over ATWT & GL, while Bradley Bell has the same over B&B. The only show that Bloom can contribute to is Y&R. She began joined its writing team in June 2007.

If LML is indeed fired, who will replace her as HW and EP? Michael Malone? Hogan Sheffer? Kay Alden? Will Victoria Rowell return? What will happen to the people she hired? Will they be fired or quit the show? If they leave, where will they end up? Do they spark the interest of Brian Frons? Perhaps they could write for ratings challenged OLTL & AMC.

BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you Y&RWorldTurner. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was so familiar about all of the questions marks. Now that announcer is all I can possibly hear in my head when I read that post. "Will the Tates and the Campbells ever get along?"

That will forever stay with me now. Thanks a lot.
