Sally Spectra’s brutal firing from the fictional Newman Media may be nothing compared to the real-life pink slips just handed out in the writing department at CBS’s top-rated daytime drama “The Young and the Restless.”
Co-executive producer and head writer Josh Griffith has sacked all five writers that comprised the show’s breakdown writing staff, multiple individuals with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.
According to one insider, Griffith said eliminating the breakdown writing staff — those writers responsible for mapping out story lines across multiple episodes — is a cost-cutting move, and that he will take on the task of writing breakdowns himself.
“The timing of the firings is suspect given that WGA negotiations were coming up and the show is celebrating a major milestone with its 50th anniversary,” the individual said. “Even more brutal is that four of the five writers of the breakdown staff are all women,...

The daytime TV community was shocked in February upon the announcement that actor Kristoff St. John had died at the age of 52. Now Entertainment Weekly has exclusively reported that “The Young and the Restless” will officially say its goodbyes to its longtime cast member in April with the help of some of his former co-stars.
St. John played businessman Neil Winters on “Y&R” from 1991 until his death, which made him the longest running black character in the show’s history. He also had a historic run at the Daytime Emmys. Counting his prior role in the short-lived soap opera “Generations,” he earned 11 nominations, winning twice for “Y&R”: Best Younger Actor in 1992 and Best Supporting Actor in 2008. Most recently he earned a pair of bids for Best Actor (2016-2017), which made him one of the few actors ever to receive nominations at all three levels: younger, supporting and lead.

“The Young and the Restless” is getting the old band back together to remember the late Kristoff St. John, who died at his home in Woodland Hills, Calif. on Feb. 3 at the age of 52.
Entertainment Weekly was first to report that Shemar Moore (Malcolm Winters), Victoria Rowell (Drucilla Winters) and Mishael Morgan (Hilary Curtis Winters) have signed on to return to CBS’s long- running daytime drama in order to pay tribute to St. John, whose 27 year run on the show as Neil Winters began in 1991 and earned him two Emmys.
Only Moore will take up his original role as Neil’s brother Malcolm, which he left in 2014, in two episodes airing April 25 and 26. Rowell, who left the show in 2007 after 17 years playing Neil’s wife, and Morgan, who played another one of Neil’s wives from 2013 to 2018, will appear as themselves in a tribute episode to air April 29.

According to an online report, The Young and the Restless head writer and executive producer Mal Young has been fired and replaced by Josh Griffith.
Young, best known for his work on British soap opera EastEnders, had a mixed record at Y&R. Despite some wonderful moments and episodes, Young's Y&R was never consistently entertaining, and he often repeated mistakes made by producers of many past canceled soaps. The addition of the rather boring Rosales family this year made some fans complain they were replacing beloved vets like Doug Davidson, who was taken off contract after decades of playing Paul Williams.
Longtime star Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) got dragged into the discussion after speaking out. He tweeted the following on Sunday: "To those who are dying to start shit with me, go for it!! But don’t you dare accuse me of 'racist' attitude when I have spent my lifetime going against that evil,...

Longtime soap opera director turned producer Anthony Morina is taking over the executive producer role at The Young and the Restless, while Josh Griffith will return for another stint as head writer. This follows the news earlier today that Mal Young is exiting his role as both executive producer and head writer.
Morina's daytime soap opera credits include directing at Santa Barbara, Generations, Sunset Beach, Guiding Light, Port Charles, General Hospital, All My Children and The Young and the Restless. He has been a producer at Y&R since 2007, and in the supervising producer role since 2008. He also produced and directed MTV's Spyder Games.
Griffith has been moving around from soap to soap since 1988. He has had two previous head writing stints at Y&R that were, like Young's, a mixed bag. If Morina and Griffith share a common vision for the iconic daytime drama, they have a chance to succeed.
