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.

Errol already confirmed she is back at Y&R and in a non-producing role; this alludes to she is not credited for the role she has.

I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?

Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done.

That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.

Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize.

As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility.

Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.

My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.

That's what Julie Hanan Carruthers is doing for BTG at the new studio in Atlanta, but JHC is credited.

And @errol said JHC is working in a nonproduction capacity at Y&R.

The speculation……….very entertaining. 

Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  

GH: 

- Rory Kramer first listed as Director on June 10

 

It looks like he's a music video director, though he hasn't directed a video since 2020.

IMBD claims Nina Kramer and Rory Kramer are the same person - they/them identify as non-binary.

Thank you for the clarification!

Jazmen Darnell Brown updated his LinkedIn to show a new job and that his contract with Beyond the Gates ended in June with Season 1.  Interesting...

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jazmendarnellbrown/

Lynn Martin is also out at BTG per her new linkedin update and related post,

https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnmartinwriter/

Danielle Page, Sara Bibel, Judy Tate and Teresa Zimmerman still show active jobs at the show on their Linkedin profiles

So from original writers, the following are out
Guza, G Martin, Brown, L Martin

In Giddens

In Thomson but we don't know if she'll be on the writing team

That's heartbreaking to hear Jazmen is out! He is their best script writer!

These writer departures are concerning.
