Contrary to recent Internet reports and rumors, Soaps.com has learned that Y&R's Executive Producer, Josh Griffith, has not been fired after all. Reps for the show are stating that he is in fact still with The Young and the Restless, and that he is still the Executive Producer.

Josh Griffith made big news back in the summer of 2008 when he took over the head writer position at The Young and the Restless during the writers' strike, a move that required him to go to 'financial core' status with the writers' guild.

Rumors were flowing earlier in the week that Josh had been removed from his post. A variety of reasons for the ouster were mentioned, including that he had been allowing actors to change scripts, and that he had been re-writing scripts penned by Maria Arena-Bell! It was also speculated that Gary Tomlin had replaced him.

Soaps.com is proud to bring you only the facts! So, here's to Josh continuing to do his best work at the #1 daytime drama, The Young and the Restless!

Jesus christ.

This was already reported and discusses in the "Josh Griffith is fired" thread.

I'll just wait for an official statement at this point.

I was just replying to this when it got merged.

I didn't see that it was posted. Sorry about that!

I'm just glad nothing is certain yet. One side is reporting this, the other one is reporting that...... I just want the man gone. This is a freakin' nightmare.

If I've come across as mean recently, I want to apologize to the entire SON network. I know sometimes things in prints don't come across the way we originally intended it. So I really want to apologize to everyone reading if I've overstepped my bounds recently. That's not cool and I'm truly regretful if I've rubbed anyone the wrong way.

No need to apologize Mike. I've always enjoyed your posts and they never come off as mean spirited.

Oh, Sylph, the epitome of sweetness in SON posting.

So true.

The bold part is part of the reason why soaps.com has no reputation and shouldn't be in the soap news business.

They essentially just picked up what SOD reported and changed a few words.

I still choose to believe Griffith is gone, even if he's not, I'd like to live in denial for a while.

It was November 2007, not summer of 2008.

Maybe he's still at the studio filming with 2 weeks notice.

But Christel is playing a black part. People don't care if people aren't fully black. If they was hire for a black part they are consider black until farther notice.

Now that Josh is gone. I wonder will my dream be answered buh bye Christel. I heard Hogan isn't impress with you.

"The part of Lily Winters will now be played by Devetta Sherwood."

Good God.

Nelson may be melodramatic, but he has yet to post anything that's been an out-and-out lie.

Oh, Yeah? He said OLTL's justis bolding was out weeks ago, she's still on the canvas and the show has no plans to recast her.

He said AE was staying- and she hasn't inked any new contract with the show, she's limited.

He alludes to things happening and throws his own personal opinion in there so you can't separate fact from opinion- unreliable source. Websites such as Daytime confidential would only report that kind of information as rumor.

I wish we knew for sure. I despise amateur Griffith and the mark he's left on the show this year.

This uncertainty is killing me...

I didn't hear about Justis, so I'll take your word for it.

As for AE, he never said she was staying. Just that when he talked to Ron at the Emmys, Ron said "She's not going anywhere... not if I can help it" or something like that. I never actually read anything that said she was definitely staying - just that Carlivati WANTS her to stay.

But I never read the Justis rumor so if he did indeed report that, it's pretty messed up.
