Young and the Restless (Y&R) buzz is that fans are a tad concerned about the future of the show’s head writer and executive producer, Josh Griffith.

According to Soap Opera Digest (SOD), Steve Kent is no longer with Sony Pictures, as TV Senior EVP of Programming, which means he no longer oversees the Y&R, as well as Days of Our Lives (DOOL). Will this have a domino effect on Josh Griffith?

According to reports, Kent and Griffith had become good pals over the years. With Kent no longer in a power position over Josh, Griffith might not have anyone in his corner moving forward.

While the soap recently got renewed for another four seasons by the CBS network, this doesn’t mean the writing and storylines have been perfect. Sadly, there have been plenty of viewers who have called for Josh to be replaced for a while now.

Could this new chapter for Steve Kent trigger a new chapter for the Y&R where their head writer is replaced or even a new writer is brought in to stir things up?

There have been some incredible storylines and romances under Josh Griffith, but some low points, too.

While Phyllis Summers’s (Michelle Stafford) fake death arc during last year’s gala started strong, it fizzled as time wore on. Much like Phyllis, Jordan’s (Colleen Zenk) lake house debacle had fans on the edge of their seats last November;

However, how she continues to slip through authorities’ fingers seems stale and stagnate (even though most fans can agree that it’s been a dramatic delight to see Colleen Zenk still going strong on the show).

Then there’s also how Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) has been sidelined, which fans on social media have not remained quiet about.

Regardless, every show, daytime or primetime, experiences ups and downs, so, it’s hard not to speculate that Steve Kent’s move from Sony could affect Josh Griffith.
