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

After all of the grief I received from posting this scoop on this board and in my DMs, I'll keep my scoops to private from now on. 

I followed SON for many years before actually joining.  The Y&R scoops @mikelyons posted that I read, turned out to be accurate.  Someone asked his source on JFP's return and he replied that he is the source, which was good enough for me.   Of course, 99% of the time, that's not a thing here at SON -- in that usually a documented source is required and posters are not considered accurate insiders, but in this case he really was the source.

Who on earth gave them grief?

Mike, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I looked over that thread where you gave us the JFP spoiler, and I saw very few posters giving you grief. In fact, I see only one person getting negative.

You did say that you heard from people in your DMS, so I know there might have actually been grief.

All of this to say that I and many others appreciated your scoop and know you don't post stuff that isn't reliable. I think the board loses something when insider voices are silenced.

I'll give you three guesses.   

Add me to the list of SON posters who appreciate @mikelyons's posts and consider his insider info to be bang-on.

Three guesses, and the first two don't count.

This came up on my memories. I can’t quit Tracey Thomson! #friends #writingpartners pic.twitter.com/DA9Aqa8ZiA

Tracey Thomson should be appearing in the credits as soon as next week, I believe, either as executive and co-head writer, or just executive producer, replacing Bob Guza.

And that's tea.

 

Now we can see how much of Joey Armstrong was from the imagination of Guza.

I am excited to see the changes that happen under her name.
