Sheri was an advisor when Ron first started but that didn't continue. Per Jason47, Sheri was credited as "story consultant" for episodes airing July 19, 2017 - Jan. 17, 2019.   Then  Ryan Quan became Ron's story consultant after that.  But Ron has his own ideas.

What's airing now is the last several weeks of material written by Ron/Ryan and team --  before the writers strike material begins airing.

As to what Sheri was (or was not) doing during the strike, see my post here:

I may not understand why people still watch the test pattern formerly known as Y&R but I don't think we need to haunt the threads critiquing their posts for even daring to view it. Let's let folks watch DAYS even if Mr. Twink Death 2023 is over on Hallmark and not currently on contract.

WHILE the investigation into the abusive fired EP was going on, today's episode was taped, and in this episode, a character sexually assaulted another character.  The script was written by the firedguy's wife.

I read the spoiler article from the actress on the SOD website, so I was forewarned, and then I checked for recaps before watching today. It did air so I chose not to watch.

 

According to several recaps: Gil tries to rape Ava, and she barely stops him, and then Gil debates the definition of rape and says it wasn't that?

How the heck did this air? Oh right, because Kenny left the firedguy in charge.
(and because Ron)

Okay, yes, Gil did attack Ava & suggested that she stop fighting & that she might find that she enjoyed herself. She pretended to consider that & relented fighting & then pulled a gun on him. He said he didn't believe she would use it. She shot him. So, it's not exactly as you said. But, sure, in the ballpark.

I refused to watch it, so I was going by what I gathered from reading recaps.
Several recaps said that the rapist claimed he wasn't attempting rape, or he tried to explain what rape is and claimed that he wasn't doing that.
Whatever actually aired, I don't know, but if it was close to that, it's very offensive.

Sheri did declare herself FiCore status but we don't know if she went to DAYS or if she went to GH or if there was some other project. I thought she was at DAYS because at that time Deidre posted a picture with her but it turned out to be from several years back. 

Yes, I understood where you were coming from. I watched it. I was trying to say as little as possible. The only thing remotely about it that he said was that she should stop fighting because she might find she enjoyed it. Maybe 2 lines of dialog. And, he was wrestling with her the whole time he was saying it. He was very aggressive. Clearly  attempted rape. NO DOUBT. So, you chose well for yourself. I was completely unaware.

Tamara Braun warned about it in a spoiler article, but I didn't post it because some of what she says in the article hasn't aired yet.
This part has aired:
“If you watch the episode, there should be no question that he tries to sexually assault her,” declares Braun. “It was a very uncomfortable scene to shoot. There was no ambiguity while shooting it. That’s for sure.”
If anyone needs a source for the quote it's here:

But warning that most of the article has stuff that hasn't aired yet.

Thank you. I'm going to go read it. I do or don't see spoilers just however it happens. I'd rather not but I find that they are hard for me to avoid. 

It's a good solid article. The by-line is Janet Di Lauro. She used to write for Weekly many years ago.

    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
    • She’s INCREDIBLE. I’m so glad you enjoyed this my friend.
    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings.
    • I love MKA and feel like they never used her to her full potential with India. The character seemed to exist merely to fight with Alex and blackmail men into marrying/sleeping with her. As if! Then adopting an orphan right out of Little Orphan Annie...somebody BTS didn't like her, I think.
    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Ambyr doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.
