Has this been confirmed? 
 

It seems as though there has been a lot of um, movement at Sony these days. 

When I asked this question, somehow I suspected that Kent wouldn’t be fully relieved of his duties where Y&R is concerned. I would only have allowed myself to believe if had there been an official press release.

It's so funny that the photo accompanying the Deadline article is Christine doing a trial in a rather nice courtroom set that we'd never see today. And a big reason why they can't afford sets like that is because they are top heavy with salaries for pointless executives like Steve Kent, which will now have to be 100% absorbed by Y&R and probably with a nice raise!

That's my view - Sony appears to have shifted an accounting line item off of Sony's books and onto the production budget for Y&R. All for an executive who is filling a role that has never existed at Y&R before. Just what a budget strapped show needs.

He has since played a key role in the oversight of The Young And The Restless and Days of Our Lives. Created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, the former has been airing since 1973 and focuses on two core families, the wealthy Brooks family and the working class Foster family.

 

Made famous globally by its representation in Friends, Days of Our Lives moved from NBC to Peacock two years ago and is one of the longest-running scripted TV shows in the world.

 

I know I'm fantasizing when I say this. But, maybe with those fun little errors, Deadline might have made a mistake? It meant to read "Steve Kent has been fired, stripped of all his assets, and now lives in a shelter. He is being replaced by Windy Riche and it's being rumored her focus will be on repairing Days of our Lives."

They also don't have over-night set crews, and have not since COVID.

I would love to see multi-generational dynamics in which we have a younger character whose single pipe dreaming about the day in which she can FINALLY be like young people of yesterday who didn't have to constantly buy from thrift stores and buy from discount grocery stores like Dollar Tree (like I have to do) and had a huge credit card debt. Then she is hired by an older women to be her personal companion who manages to pay her a salary with a live-in position that would guarantee her a life where she can live modestly. She doesn't really want to be rich but comfortable. But then she meets the older woman's husband and (you can infer the rest! Ha!).

But in the LGBTQ+ version it is the older woman she falls for! 

But about the desirability of one demo group over another, I always said that the ad agencies were selling a bill of goods. It never made any common sense at all!

Damn.  Now Josh Griffith will be at Y&R forever.  :(

Not necessarily!  After all, friends have been known to fall out.  ;)

It will be interesting with Kent now having more direct oversight on Y&R and being Sony’s plant on the production team. Will this lead to a power struggle between him and his old friend Griffith?

I just saw on Reddit that people are receiving Y&R surveys again. Usually a sign of something:
