Y&R: Head Writer Change

It was announced yesterday (August 27, 2013) that "The Young & the Restless" will be getting new head writers per SOD. Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman will share the job.

Neither writer has extensive history with Y&R. This could be a good thing or a bad one. At least the beginnings of Kay's death story has already been written and taped, so hopefully the groundwork has been laid in a positive manner.
