Sonia was on the director rotation at DAYS.
On BTG, Sonia had been credited as a producer. 
May 23 was her first episode directing BTG.

Aiyiyiyi!!! Thanks. See that now but what I thought I saw before, obviously, DAYS. These IV drugs I'm taking are killing me. My brain is negatively affected. Things don't taste right. I'm smelling things that are not there. Etc.

Ed Scott has not been credited the last two Y&R episodes...

Update: Not listed in the June 5 (CDN)/June 6 (US) episode either...

Ed’s gone. JFP is back but there won’t be an onscreen credit.

Not even in the full end credits?

Where's the credible source that JFP is back?

Also feels strange that JFP wouldn't want to take credit for any work she's potentially doing. Wouldn't that be breaking some union rules as well?

ME

Giving credit where it's due, @mikelyons originally posted the JFP scoop, but didn't clarify if Ed Scott was out or not.

 

 

 

Yeah I don’t get why she wouldn’t be credited if she’s back. That seems odd. I hope it’s true though, because the show needs a change. Badddddd.

Which union rules? SMH. Jill’s back, uncredited.

The Producers Guild of America (PGA), while not a union, does have rules and regulations regarding membership, conduct, and yes, credits. Assuming she’s a member of course.

Being uncredited for what work exactly? Given her years of experience and multiple Emmy wins - why now decide you want to go uncredited for work you’ve done?

I agree with you about rules & regs but, frankly, choosing between retirement & working uncredited, come on, we know what she'd choose & she'd be right to do so. 

Errol posted that Ed Scott retired

Zero union rules broken.

@Errol confirmed JFP is back in a non-producing role.

I understand why people speculate, but I have to say it doesn’t sound very plausible that Jill Farren Phelps would be working at Y&R in any uncredited role. CBS daytime shows are tightly bound by union contracts and corporate oversight, and that kind of informal arrangement would be a major liability in 2025.

Before the mergers of SAG-AFTRA and the two WGA branches, it may have been easier to hire someone quietly or off the books. But those days are behind us. With digital payroll, tighter pension tracking, and increased scrutiny from legal and compliance departments, it’s just not the kind of thing anyone can get away with anymore. Most union members, especially producers nearing retirement, would not risk their eligibility or benefits to take an uncredited role.

The Producers Guild of America is also very clear about crediting. To even receive the PGA mark, a producer has to be verified through a formal review process. According to their credit certification guidelines (source), "only individuals who performed a majority of the producing functions on a motion picture or television production" are eligible for credit, and those credits must be official and recorded. If someone is functioning in that capacity, they are not supposed to be uncredited. Studios that are union signatories, like CBS and Sony, know better than to skirt those rules.

If anyone has a legitimate, primary source confirming that CBS is hiring someone like Phelps in an uncredited production role, I’d honestly be curious to read it. But without that, this just feels like rumor—not reality.
