Moments after Giddens’ bombshell scoop aired online, The Suds Report soon learned The Young and the Restless executive producer Josh Griffith was also given his walking papers on the very same day.

Finally! The top says he "could be out" but later it says he's gone. But who's to replace him?

Never mind, I'm just glad he's gone. And it's weird how the show improved after he stopped "hijacking the scripts."

VERY GOOD NEWS! This man was an amateur who should've never been given the show-runner responsibilities at Y&R.

However, who is replacing him? They BETTER give David Shaughnessy a call!

Bout damn time! JG is a good writer, but as a ep he is a visionless hack! Wonder who's gonna replace him? Hopefully anyone but Jack Smith!

Edit: Nelson is saying Paul Rauch will most likely be the replacement.

Of course he's visionless! He worked with Latham for more than a year. Please let us have Shaughnessy! It's funny how everyone wants him, but we almost definitely won't get him.

I'm still excited! He's finally gone!

Edit: Nelson is saying Paul Rauch will most likely be the replacement.

That was Nelson's guess, I don't think TPTB at Y&R were too happy with Rauch's consulting, hence why it didn't last too long.

My David Shaughnessy agenda is in full effect!

Come on everyone, spread the news...... DAVID SHAUGHNESSY BACK TO Y&R!!!

Y&RWorldTurner... from your mouth to Sony's ears! But I don't know why I'm pessimistic about it.

And yes, I think that Rauch thing is only Branco's guess.

YES!!!

Possibly O/T...

But this sounds juicy from Branco's same page...

Uhh, Christel?

I find it funny though that they reportedly don't have a replacement for Griffith, yet DAYS already has an EP replacement in Tomlin.

Who will be taking on the EP duties of Y&R come Monday? They better NOT give Anthony Morina a promotion, he's another amateur that would harm the show.

I hope the Bell's are fighting for David Shaughnessy...

Oh gawd no Morina! Please no!

I hear Lynn Marie Latham needs a job!

If we get Paul Rauch, I feel truly doomed.

I only hope that Scott's and Griffith's firing will be a lesson to ALL executive producers not to attempt hijacking the head writer's job.

Possibly O/T...
