Y&R: MAB OUT! Hamner OUT! JFP IN! Griffith IN! Sheffer UNKNOWN!

[JaneAusten]

The Newmans. They will start with Nikki mark my words.

[dragonflies]

no I don't actually, that won't stop her from completely decimating what's left.

[Ms. Chandler Quartermaine]

Isn't Robin Christopher one of the "Friends of Jill"

[Marco Dane]

What ever happened to the new opening credits?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

The Abbots were decimated long ago, and Sony (allegedly) just sent Davidson back to DAYS.

If DAYS goes before Y&R, I expect Davidson back at some point though.

[DeeeDee]

Yep.

Plus Y&R already hates to use her, Daisy is still alive,

will be paired soon & Giggly Heffa is Michael's best friend (who he can be conveniently paired with) after Lauren's death which will complicate but not derail

[soapfave06]

Who all did LML write out?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I hope Michelle Stafford is one of those actors that rubs Jill the wrong way.

[frequentsoapfan]

The only one left onscreen is Jack really. Billy is barely on because BM isn't commited to this show and Billy was ruined long ago. Tracy pops up here and there sometimes. John is a ghost having been killed off in Sony contract negotiations. Ashley is gone so ED can be back at DAYS.

[DeeeDee]

The Winters.

Neil will move to New York to be with Sofia & Moses.

Lily & The Ostrich will move to Australia with the twins leaving Devon & Harmony (one who will leave when Tucker drops her for newly hired Jensen Buchanan & the other who will make many extended trips to New York to visit his Dad, stepmother & baby brother).

[dragonflies]

Sadly I can see that happening. I bet SBu's nose is out of joint that he's no longer writer's pet on GH and that McBain/ME has stolen his thunder, and I read his contract is up soon

[DeeeDee]

And Abby is way more of a Newman than an Abbott.

Florence Henderson, Marla Gibbs and Webster are all like, "Wait, the woman who gave the sitcom stars jobs is gone? DAMN, we missed out!

[DaytimeFan]

Even in the south of France, at 1:30am no less, I have to be in the SON loop...

Frankly, Y&R is so dead to me I welcome this with open arms. Let's see what JFP does to the show. It might be horrendous, it might be great...what it won't be is boring. Y&R is a blank canvas in my eyes, it's identity has been destroyed since 2005. 7 years of non-Y&R airing. So what happens, happens. She is very much an actor's producer and there are several actors on that show (Braeden, Thomas Scott, Cooper, Walton) who would be well suited to JFP's actor encouragement.

The interesting thing will be who JFP fires. Walton's return is somewhat murky. Jeanne Cooper's interview makes it sound very vague, Walton herself said that she renewed her Y&R contract a week before she took her 6 months off...so we'll see. I don't see her firing Cooper who can still work and is essentially extended Bell family (plus, when Cooper won her Emmy, I distinctly recall JFP standing up to clap for her).

Let the JFP reign begin. God save JFP.

[ChitHappens]

Exactly! Ratings were higher at GH with JFP. Not a fan of hers, but I'd take her over Cartooni any day of any [!@#$%^&*] week - AND I'D GIVE A KIDNEY!
