So the question is, did he make the error, or did CBS give him misleading/incorrect info?

I think it’s possible he may have been confused and thought Sheila Ducksworth was also a co-creator given her role in getting this pushed through and on the air. But who is fact-checking this stuff before it prints?

Remember the 90-second promo video embedded in that article that I (and others) could not see. 

I noticed that Michele Val Jean tweeted that she couldn't see the video embedded in that article either (she knew it was there, but it wasn't visible on her device), and she tweeted thanks to the person who tweeted it.

Thanks to detroitpiston for linking to the tweeted video and to Joseph for sharing an unlisted youtube.

Anyhow, for anyone who might need it, here is the raw mp4 file of the video embedded in that Jan. 31 TVLine article:

I can't see them if I have an ad blocker, but if I disable it, I can see it

same here, but I had to also enable cookies and tracking, too. Basically disable all adblockers and privacy features on my PC, and then I could see it.  I found that cumbersome.
That's why I posted the connatix link for anyone who wants to avoid that hassle.

it’s the new york times, not the new yorker. daily newspapers are edited, not fact-checked — even the copyediting can be iffy — so there are always going to be errors and corrections. 

it’s a long article with a a lot of information and highly likely that he simply misunderstood — so no harm, no foul!

And to date the only black person that has created a daytime serial period.

Not true.  There was Black Agnes before her.  Just ask that one poster who thought JESSE AND ANGIE WAS THE NUMBER-ONE SOAP OPERA SUPERCOUPLE IN ALL OF HISTORY.

🤣🤣🤣

Not to mention, the TV Insider video falsely credits Jen Jacob (Ashley) as Jen Jacobson. Whoever is overlooking these things should be more careful.

Oops. I typed "Feb. 5 from TVLine" but obviously not.
It's TVInsider, not TVLine.

Sorry about that.

Time for folks to start leaking!

I did notice another restaurant/club locale in the new video - apparently "Uptown" where some of the characters were dining, judging by the signage on the windows.
