I guess the question is why do they feel they need Ed Scott back on the producing team after all this time and after not having a Senior Producer on the team for this recent Griffith regime to date? Also, why did this warrant an announcement to an industry trade like Deadline? That doesn’t happen when producers who are not EP’s come in and out of various soaps.

Are production matters so messy and fiscally irresponsible that they need someone like Scott to come in and sort out after all this time? If so, they’re really turning a blind eye to Griffith’s mismanagement of resources.

He was open to the idea of joining the writing staff, as noted in February 2020. But everyone needs to chill: Josh Griffith isn't going anywhere: not as executive producer, and not as head writer. He's IN there.

I'd forgotten this. That was such a weird statement from Mulcahey. Feels like it was written by CBS.

Are you telling us that you're an insider? That you have inside, first-hand information on Griffith?

If DeeeDee were still around the response  would be backstage drama and agendas.

 

Edward Scott's return made it to one of the most popular greek news sites. Don't ask me why, both shows have been off the air for more than ten years. 

B&B is also mentioned in the article.

That is a great point! Why did the Y&R publicity department need to tell Deadline about this move?  If he's just coming back as a producer, and nothing else is changing, why have an announcement?   Hmmm......

Whatever happen to her/them? I often wonder how they seemed to know a lot about the backstage stuff on the show?

I miss the gifs.

Did they? It was never backed up by any evidence. Just cryptic comments. They seemed more interested in grabbing attention and putting down other posters.

Back to Mr Scott.

As Toups stated the announcement makes one think there is more to it, but upon reflection, I'm starting to think it is just some backstage shuffling and Scott's experience is needed to get the production side of things working more smoothly.

At 80 yo he might be at the point where he just wants a low profile gig.

Hope I'm wrong but...

I do agree, they were rather cryptic about a lot of things, but I’m just curious if they stopped posting here altogether or what happen? I believe their last comment was “F**k this racist show” in regards to Cane getting all of Devon’s money or whatever happen at the time. Which is hindsight cause Canes been off the show for the last 5 years now.

People are mentioning Scott's age. Well, Francis Ford Coppola is older, 85, and look at Megalopolis

And what about it? Looks like over-done CGI/AI work, which isn't impressive.

I used the smirk emoji for a reason.

You used a wink emoji; smirk would have changed the context, so now I understand the intent you were meaning.
