Josh Griffith: Out, In, Now On His Way Out Again!

1 Sara A. Bibel has written a new blog about the Josh Griffith situation at THE YOUNG AND THE RESTELSS: "Apparently, Griffith voiced his displeasure with head writer Maria Bell’s stories to TPTB including the man who cuts his paycheck, Bill Bell Jr. At one point he wanted to quit, but then he reconsidered. It didn't make for a harmonious workplace. Finally, Bell Jr. decided to put everyone out of their misery by letting Griffith go. He has been informed and is still on the job until his contract expires in early September. The WGA did phone the show about the allegations that he was rewriting scripts, but that was not a major factor in his dismissal." Previous stories: Josh Griffith Not Out At Y&R?
