Change is in the air at The Young and the Restless, as a new scriptwriter steps in to guide the iconic soap into its next chapter. While transitions like these are a natural part of the television world, they also mark the end of an era — not just for the characters and stories, but for those who helped bring them to life behind the scenes.

For long-time viewers and contributors alike, The Young and the Restless has always been more than just a show. It’s a world of love, rivalry, family, and redemption — and for those of us who’ve been fortunate enough to be part of the creative process, it’s been a journey filled with passion and purpose.

With the new writer’s vision taking shape, it’s time for some of us to step aside. There’s a bittersweet beauty in handing over the reins — pride in what we’ve helped build, and hope for what’s still to come. We leave with gratitude, knowing that Y&R will continue to evolve, entertain, and inspire, just as it has for over 50 years.

To the cast, crew, and the fans: thank you for every moment. The legacy lives on — even as our time in Genoa City draws to a close.
