Yes Josh, we all remember your disgusting offensive run on Days in 2015-16 that got you fired. And yes Josh, we already Flynn will get your current low energy boring  drama free writing on Y&R unless your having one of your mood swings….

What was it he wrote?? 👀

Newly created role? Josh Griffith doesn’t know how to create new characters with any longevity.

I'm trying to remember who the last popular new character (or recast) on Y&R was.

Funny; today's YR episode had an actor who I thought looked very much like Flynn, with the dark beard and everything.

Abby's breakdown and "death." And the pairing with Gabi, I think.

Currently Audra, who started back in 2022. He did also bring back Diane successfully and did a complete overhaul of Summer with successful recast in a new direction back around the time.

Prior to that you’d have to go with Hilary from his 2012-13 run.

A serial killer story for the show’s 50th. He also wrote the rape twist of Chase & Ciara.

Thanks. 

I don't really watch enough to know of Audra but I do appreciate the Diane return.

Those stories were so gruesome...and the rape story took place in the Horton living room.

I'm not familiar with his work, so as a Y&R fan, the idea of any new character just seems boring.

This is such a shame.  He's very talented and Chad has become such a staple on the show.  It's also very sad because it somewhat confirms that Abigail will stay dead (for now).  But he's obviously been wasted . . . I know he thought Marci Miller leaving would have Chad be less constrained by her scheduling, and I think he was made a lot of promises . . . but Chad has been pretty aimless since her travesty of a murder in 2022.  It's hard to not think it would've been better for them to ride off into the sunset, or even that they shouldn't have returned in late 2019 at all considering what came their way.

Even though no one really dies on DAYS, killing Abigail was such a bad, depressing story. Billy Flynn had grown into arguably the best actor on the show. I really enjoyed Chad's relationship with Julie, too. 

Hopefully, he'll be well-used at Y&R.

Flynn's exit is just one of several recent changes behind the scenes at DAYS, with more to come. I'm hearing things aren't great from a financial perspective at the show.

I’m a bit surprised Flynn is coming to Y&R….new role? That could mean anything really with JG…Claire’s secret ex boyfriend? A past lover of either Audra or Sally? New Fen? Jack & Nikki’s lost son they thought died? Noah Newman 6.0?

I don’t trust JG either way but maybe he will be Scotty Grainger?? (Not that the show will ever do right by any of Lauren’s sons)

Chase raping Ciara on the Horton living room couch was such a HORRIBLE story twist. The character of Chase actually had potential, not to mention the story itself was so unnecessary and wrong on many, many levels.

This is feeling very much like when Laura Wright jumped from GL to GH back in 2005.

Not sure what you mean. I'm talking about budget cuts and people bolting due to cutbacks.

Oh god, DAYS always looks cheap as hell. Are they going to start shooting the show out of a cardboard box next? 

The Peacock-only model always seemed like an experiment to me that needed to be financially validated in the long term. So, I guess, we’ll see how that manifests itself…
