Members Rakesh Posted August 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 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! http://www.soaps.com/youngandrestless/news/2316/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dm. Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 No need to apologize Mike. I've always enjoyed your posts and they never come off as mean spirited. So true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 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.

Members miajere Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 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.
