A bit of a scoop:

Thom Racina said on In The Zone that he's friends with Anthony Morina and Sally Sussman Morina. He said he had dinner with them one night, and Anthony told him Y&R was looking for new writers, to "change things up."

So, this seems like the beginning of Y&R getting and firing writers...

He also said Y&R was in a bit of a crunch, so he had to write two scripts last week. So, I guess Y&R is losing some scriptwriters/breakdown writers.

Can't wait for Toups' scoops tomorrow. ;)

He also said Y&R's gonna be sensational in August and the fall. He said he thinks the fans will be happy. We'll have to wait and see...

He also said the scripts are getting longer and there's so much story. I guess we can finally expect longer scenes on Y&R soon, something I've wanted for a while.

He mentioned something about Hogan writing some sort of story last week and then Scott Hamner (yuck!) adding his notes and then he had to produce a script. He said there was so much story to tell and the scripts got longer than he expected them to be.

That sounds interesting, but I hope Scott Hamner is fired soon. He mentioned Hamner does some sort of coordination between the script writers.

Hopefully he is one of the 7 Toups will be announcing tomorrow :D

I so desperately want to get back into Y&R.... and more and more stuff is coming out of the woodwork to incline myself to do so.

Scott Hamner has been a failure on just about every show he's written. Knots Landing, Port Charles, Y&R, etc. He is LML's right hand man. I personally enjoy his season of Knots Landing, but it's probably the second most hated among fans. Then on Port Charles he took over after LML was fired and apparently was just a total mess. Based on his history he didn't even deserve to be hired, IMO.

    • Lucky said he’s gonna travel this summer with Aidan. It was a quick line. Willow looks dumber by the day somehow.
    • Well, I do love a good soap himbo who can wear some pants...and very much blue jeans.

          But yeah, I can see it. I saw it more with Hayley though.  
    • Ewww....I love MKA, but GL wasted her returns. I do think she sleeps with Ross, or gets darn close.   So...against my better judgment, I slid into '86 to find Vanessa confessing to Henry about being pregnant...and it's NOT William Roerick, DAMN IT. It's some damn temp Henry. But then it gets weirder because I'm listening in German, and it's the same voice fooling me. 
    • I hope the writers understand how pathetic and stupid Willow looks in order to continue this madness with Drew. Willow has become a laughingstock. Lucky didn't say goodbye to Aidan? Pathetic!!! Maybe then she can buy clothes that fit her. The blouse she had on today was three sizes too big.
    • I really enjoyed the first half of season 9. It was dark but Emma, Angela, Lance and Richard were front and center.  Pilar and Frank were finally interesting.  Charley, Michael and Genele came in and caused a lot of drama.  It was even sexier. I also liked the new into theme music. Then the second half of the season went to hell.
    • Something that I love about Dani is that despite her issues with Bill, she's always encouraged her daughters to have a relationship with him. I also believe that she does have a great amount of love for him which is why she is so hurt that he's sick. I've loved them including her in his recovery. It feels real and their chemistry is just insane so any chance for more of it is welcomed. That would be the perfect karma. Kat needs to learn boundaries and not be so impulsive, but I still feel like the Duprees are going to clear Leslie. How? I don't know, but that's what I think is going to happen. I feel like she'll get some kind of blackmail over them which will cause them to clear the slate. Of course the show never goes where you expect so I'm sure they'll do something different but I'm definitely curious how she will manage this.
    • Darn you Jane Elliot...you have me crying...that's how superb her acting is in these scenes with Gio. Speak on it.
    • The story has been glossed over and taken over by the lunacy redux. I wonder if they noticed how poorly the ratings are with the Liam story and went all lunacy.
    • @soapfan770Thank you so much for posting that! I know the final season of Falcon Crest is controversial but I thought it was a fantastic swing that mostly worked. The only thing that would've made it better is if they had more money which hopefully could've kept Emma full season. I feel like that was her strongest arc since season one and I wish she had remained so we could've seen her as a mother. I also wish they had more Angela but that was obviously out of their control. As different as it was, I felt season 9 to be very true to the initial gothic roots of the series.
