I believe she did.

That's a shame, although she certainly earned it. HH was my favorite Y&R director by far.

Jill Farren Phelps was listed as Executive Producer today! Yippee!!!!

No she wasn't, and she's not listed on tomorrow's US episode either.

I'm not sure what episode you watched but JFP was definitely listed in the credits for today's episode (October 22nd).

No she wasn't. See 1:47 into this clip - Maria is still credited as EP.

Hmm, in the 10/22 CBS airing, Jill Farren Phelps was credited. Maria was removed from both her EP and HW duties. Her writing team, however, is still featured.

Hasn't their also been a discrepancy in Canadian/US credits on DAYS when they switched the writers? Not that this explains anything. LOL

I think there was.

I just checked both the Canadian and the US airing of 10/19, both had Maria.

10/22, though, has Jill in the US airing and Maria in the Canadian.

10/23 in Canada has Maria, so it's safe to assume that Jill will be featured in the US airing today.

Weird.

That's weird, as usually there isn't a discrepancy between the US and CAN credits for Y&R (as there is for DAYS).

Maria's still listed as EP on the 10/22 episode posted by CBS on their site as well:

I watched yesterday's online and didn't pay attention, but I'm watching today's Y&R live and it has JFP listed as EP. No MAB listed as EP or HW.

I wonder if Sony sent those episodes out to Canada, and uploaded to CBS.com, before they decided to insert JFP/take out MAB for October 22 for the tv feed?. It's just a weird situation. I'll go with the CBS TV feed and credit October 22 as JFP's first official episode.

- Maria Arena Bell last listed as Executive Producer and Head Writer on October 19

- Jill Farren Phelps first listed as Executive Producer on October 22

At cbs.com the credits still had MAB listed. On the episode that aired on CBS the credits had JFP listed. I just got home and I will check to see who is in the credits today.

I just started today's episode (October 23rd) and JFP is listed as the Executive Producer again. Thanks.
