He can't be shoved out the door -- Fresh Prince of Bel Air style -- soon enough.

Not good enough. He needs to be completely gone from the show.

I miss us talking about Y&R as well!!

Even though it was uneven and had its flaws, I enjoyed some of his work there from 2022-24 but then losing AL Summer and killing off Heather, Chance Damian, and Cole was just absurd. Bringing back Cane, a shining achievement JG had on his belt by ditching the character, was undone. How do you destroy your own success?

Since then the show reeks of desperation (Matt, Patty, psycho Mariah) and devolved into complete trash.

Obviously JG has lost control at the helm if he’s saying he needs to focus on his writing. On the flip side the man’s head needs to examined given his long tendency to sabotage himself as well a write some awful depressing OCD story of a preteen boy being institutionalized while touting it was a touching tribute to his daughter dealing with OCD. Yikes.

I came back for Malcolm. And after a nice start, I went back to just reading loglines to decide if I wanted to watch. Nope. lol.

All of that was the straw that broken this camel's back. And let's not forget that having a new dynamic POC finally with an actual soapy story and sabotaging it to give it to an albatross of a character that was ALSO a recast...NOPE. I don't get it. Vail Bloom was desired back for years showing she did a good job through questionable writing out of all the Heathers...got interesting story only to die. And come on! Cole still had potential after decades of being away and you did that. Chance...speaks for himself. Poor Nina.

Well given how things ended with JG last time due to stuff in real life, I always felt it was a sign that he might be burning out again.

This is definitely good news. Someone just doesn't give up the EP title no reason. With Steve Kent gone, and now Josh no longer having the EP title, Sally is now the top dog at the show (in terms of being at the studio, obviously she has studio/network execs to report to). I predict Josh will be gone before the year ends.

Dream scenario: Sally brings in Natalie Minardi Slater and Janice Ferri Esser as Co-HWs. LOL

That would be the dream. Natalie was always meant to be Kay Alden's successor and Janice knows the show better than anyone currently writing.

I'd go along with bringing back Natalie Minardi Slater, except that it would mean BTG losing one of their most valuable writers, and at a time when they could use all the help they could get.
