David Rupel has joined Y&R as a breakdown writer as of today's episode.  Mal Young also called out on twitter the script and confirmed Dave has joined the writing team.  Wonder if he replaced Seidman who hasn't written an outline since Dave joined.

She was there, but they listed Chris Van Etten's name again on a card alone.

Looks like he also wrote the breakdown

He’s been freelancing at Y&R since July 2017. Where have you been? lol

I think he's the only director in soap history who is working on three soaps on three different networks. Very interesting.  I think in the last few days his shows have aired on Days, GH and YR.  He's popular for a reason!  His episodes are stellar.

Alex Hadad first listed as Days script writer on March 14 episode.

AND Richard Culliton's name was gone from today's credits.  Wonder if he retired. Is Carolyn next?

I think he may have retired.  Richard's been writing soaps for about 35 years, without having a long period of time off.  He's talented (I thought he was one of daytime's best) and well respected and liked, probably why he's been able to work for such a long time.  To me, Richard and Carolyn are soap writing legends.  35 years in the soaps - amazing.

During Dena and Tomlin their scripts kept the show from being unwatchable.
