I do too. Morina seems like the likely 'easy' answer and the 'easy' answer has been Y&R's motto as of late.

Let's hope for a surprise, I'd like to think they'd finally grow some sense and bring Shaughnessy back.

Yes, let's hope! A surprise would be lovely! Especially a Shaughnessy surprise!

Here's hoping that the Bell's push hard for David Shaughnessy, and since B&B tapes right next to Y&R and Shaughnessy still directs there, it wouldn't be hard at all for them to count him.

Has Shaughnessy done much directing for B&B lately? I know he's done a few episodes here and there, but it seems like most of the directing there is divided up between Michael Stich, Cynthia Popp and Deveney Kelly, with the occasional episode or three by the likes of Shaughnessy. Still, the fact that they bring him in even occasionally suggests that the Bells haven't cut ties completely with him. But does associating him mean they'd want him as an EP for Y&R?

I think Junior.

And wasn't he in charge when Y&R axed Shaughnessy as EP?

Shaughnessy typically directs 2-3 episodes of B&B every month, but I don't think he's directed any so far this month.

Who else do the Bell's have in their orbit that has EP experience and worked for Y&R before? Shaughnessy and John F. Smith are the only ones, and both are still connected to B&B.

I think Junior.

I think Shaughnessy left on his own, or that was the account to the press that was given.

I agree with the David Shaugnessy praise. The man was very talented at his craft.

im on the David Shaughnessy band waggon Y&R needs someone with a sense of history and the Bill Bell vision other then Ed Scott, David Shaughnessy is the next best EP.
