There were no credits on Monday the 19th episode of Y&R.   Did the episode on CBS.com have writing/directing credits? 

[Soapsuds]

No it did not.

[Toups]

Thanks.  Hmm that’s pretty unusual to not have any credits. 

[Errol]

Yes, I saw that. I checked both my DVR copy and Paramount+ but no writer/director credits at the beginning of the episode. There were cast credits at the close, however.

I’m looking into it. Hopefully will have the info soon.

I’ve made this joke before, but who’d want to take credit for the dreck I understand the show churns out?

You got it! Glad to help.

So did Simone replace long time YR writer, Teresa Zimmerman who hasn't written a breakdown since 9/6?

Thanks

It seems like long time GH Director William Ludel is retiring. Several GH stars posted pictures from his retirement party at a racetrack over the weekend.

Chris Dunn's name finally in credits on Days on 11/22. He first announced on FB that he rejoined the writing team in Dec 2021 which means the outlines are being written nearly a year ahead of air date.

Lisa Seidman hasn't written a GH script since 10/17 and they haven't added a new script writer. Seidman joined the show in Jan 2020 I believe.
