Here is an interview with the new head writer for Y&R. He talks about who is going and who is staying.
Looks like Christel Khalil IS staying and Billy Martin leaving might just be a rumor...
He also talks a little about the coming storylines for Sharon, Victor and Jack. He also emphasizes that with a smaller cast they can have better, juicier, more involved storylines rather than the half @ssed ones in the past few years.
I agree that yesterday's episode was the best in awhile!
But read the article, it did give me a glimmer of hope for the future of the show!
