script writer. We'll see if she's just filling out a contract or if she took on this new (original) position.

Thanks!

Yeah, I saw the weird structure list of writers as I've been playing catch-up and wondered what shuffling is going on. 

 

So is JG getting a new co-writer?

[VelekaCarruthers]

Here are the changes Y&R has made since Steve Kent came in as 'exec in charge'

Hired: Dave Ryan as script writer; hired Marla Kanelos who wrote about 12 scripts then moved to outline writer; moved Marin Gazzaniga from script writer to script editor; moved James Brown (who was a fi core strike writer no doubt) from script editor to script writer; hired Lisa Connor as script writer; re-hired Ed Scott as senior producer; fired Beall as producer and demoted her from co head to script writer (we'll see if she remains as a script writer).

And that's after they did the following (after last December) once the writer's strike was over: fire Lynn Martin; "retired" Janice Esser; hired JG's assistant Maddie Phillips as script writer (probably wrote episodes during the strike).  The only thing they haven't done is get rid of the central problem: JG

Also getting rid of the ENTIRE Breakdown writing team

They didn't get rid of the entire breakdown writing team. They fired 5 of them and kept 2.

And that happened before Kent. 

[lucaslesann23]

Yep! 

[Contessa Donatella]

Thanks for that confirmation. For a minute, I began to doubt my sanity.

Speaking of GH changes, have they changed the writing structure or is there now 3 writers per episodes?
