Who removes their current employer from their twitter and facebook bio their current employer - more than a month before they "resign" when their written material will air for another 8 months?  Peacock cleaning its feathers?

Marin is one of the breakdown writers. This means that Brent (Script Editor) probably wrote the script unless Marin wasn't fired and moved to script writer.

The credits for tommorow are

Josh Griffith 

Amanda Beall

Brent Boyd

Lynn Martin

Simone Hawthorne

Lynn Martin writes for Y&R now?  Yikes!  I thought her scripts during Hogan Sheffer's time at ATWT were among the worst.  (Not as bad as Craig Heller's, but not among the best either.)

[RavenWhitney]

Breakdown writers still showing up. Simone is one of them. Lynn writes scripts. Brent is script editor.

GH:

- Whitney Clinkscales first listed as Director on May 10

Monday's Y&R US episode has Jeff Beldner in the script editor position and Brent Boyd in the breakdown writer position.  Maybe they just mixed that up, so we'll have to wait until Tuesday's episode to see if it was just a mistake. 

[LeClerc]

Same thing in the Canadian Monday/US Tuesday episode.

I'm a big Jeff Beldner fan, but did JG fire all the female breakdown writers and keep the one male?

The writers for Tuesdays US.

Could be.  So it looks like Jeff is going to be listed everyday now since he's helping Josh and Amanda writing the breakdowns/thrusts that the script writers will be using.  It's too bad Natalie Minardi Slater wasn't the one chosen to stay because she's been with the show since the 90's, without getting fired (before a few months ago).
