I hope this is true and if it is does this mean VR can return to YR?

[janea4old]

That was my first thought!

[YRfan23]

This is definitely a good move if this is true!

In somewhat related news, bringing this over from the Y&R thread:
a report from Deadline (credit @BetterForgotten for finding it)

Sony In Talks To Team With Apollo In Bid For Paramount Global

Someone said he and Josh Griffith are basically besties, so maybe we'll get rid of JG too!

"Come home, Miss Rowell, all is forgiven!"

First, Patrick Mulcahey comes out of retirement to co-head-write GH; then, Michele Val Jean leaves B&B to launch THE FIRST NEW SOAP OPERA TO PREMIERE IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS; and now, this.  2024 is truly shaping up to be a pivotal year in the history of daytime.

If this is true, then I wonder what prompted SONY's decision.  Did something transpire BTS to force Kent out?  Has SONY been planning this move for awhile, or...?  Are they dissatisfied with DAYS's and Y&R's performance in the ratings and felt the time was right for a shakeup?  Does TG have them running scared?  Are they seeking a replacement for Kent, or are they phasing out his position altogether?  So many questions, lol.

Yeah, I'm wondering how this might affect JG and his current situation at Y&R, too.

I wonder if Errol knows anything @Errol

Please let this lead to JG getting a pink slip

You sound like my aunt!

Long story...

He's been MIA.

[Bright Eyes]

At this point, if they got rid of him and what's left of the writing team and let the actors come in and improv/ad-lib every episode it would be significantly better.

I haven’t been this happy about a firing since Frons fired Guza, then Frons was fired, then ABC canned JFP all in a pretty quick succession.

I hope his good buddy Josh is out soon, but who do they replace him with?

[BetterForgotten]

Please Sony, to quote Lilandra, Empress of the Shi'ar Empire ( @Vee and @NothinButAttitude will understand), “for the sake of the universe” please fire Josh Griffith!!!

BUH-BYE! Hoping this brings changes to the teams at Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless. Paging Wendy Riche to the latter soap, PLEASE!

Hehe. Also my first thought as well.

 

Friday cliffhanger anyone?

 

 

You're not the only one as a fan of the comic AND the original show...not to mention that first major arc in Season 3.
