Y&R's shitty HW Josh Griffin is fi-core, so they had no change with writers during the strike and B&B was still being overseen by Brad Bell as a producer, so I'm sure he still had some input over story direction even if he couldn't actively be writing it.

It'll be interesting to see what DAYS will be like when the strike-era scripts start airing in late December. The first few months were apparently written with the now-fired abusive EP Albert Alarr acting as HW and then current EP Janet Drucker (who has been at DAYS since the 80's) and hopefully Sheri Anderson. So fans are nervous and curious. How much will suck? Will it actually be better without Ron? Or will it all suck until Janet's tenure begins and someone who properly cares about the show will be at the helm. Either way the next 6 months of DOOL are probably going to be rocky AF.

Agreed about Anna shooting Charlotte. Finola better get an Emmy for this story.

Give Rena Sofer & Jane Elliot all the money they want to keep them on the show.

I did love Nina giving Michael the what's-what when he came to her about her calling the SEC. I still roll my eyes at that whole plot point though. Sure she did it to be petty, but Drew & Carly did actually break the law. I do hope Nina finds out about Michael's failed attempt to destroy Sonny via Dex. It could create an interesting dynamic.

As far as Blair allegedly sleeping with David Vickers, I've taken the OLTL Twitter fandom's theory that it was just a ruse to get Martin to divorce her (someone who I can't imagine her ever marrying in the first place) as the truth.
