MTS took down her Tweet, but Michael Fairman took a screenshot of it and has it on one of his crappy articles:

Thank you!  I wonder how SSM got that Co-EP credit - it's not like she's a huge name who can command that in their contract.

Perhaps the previous administration(s) set a precedent by separating the writing and production executives. A la Maria Arena Bell (writing) and Paul Rauch (production) as well as Jill Farren Phelps (production) and Charles Pratt Jr (writing).

She had EP credit with Generations. I wasn't sure about that but I checked your profile on SSM and you have her listed as an EP. She has some experience .

Not sure if they were listed before, but I noticed new casting people in Y&R's credits on Friday's US episode:

 

Casting Director: Sheila Guthrie, CSA

Casting Associate: Lordan Napoli

Not a writer, director or producer...

 

yet a memorable event: it seems like long-time set decorator Joe Bevacqua has retired. He was with Y&R for nearly 30 years (until JFP fired him!?) and then moved over to B&B for the last 4 years. Just recently, the show did a little shout-out as the hospital set was named "Joseph Bevacqua Memorial Wing".

 

He has been replaced by Price is Right set decorator, RIchard Domabyl.

Gary is retirement age. I doubt ABC would hire him to be EP.  

 

Tours: Neither Chris Van Etten nor Suzanne Flynn have written a script in three weeks, unless they wrote this week which I've not seen (I"m caught up to last Thurs). Are they out?

 

And Kate Hall removed Y&R from her Facebook and twitter, wonder if she was let go after her one year contract ended?

How old is Gary Tomlin? btw i think Jean Passanante should be named a producer for GH.  Jean should have say so in casting, production and other things. it  would be smart if Frank made Jean a producer for GH
