Soap Opera Weekly on Y&R's Latham

From the new Soap Opera Weekly: "Sources say The Young and the Restless Lynn Marie Latham who was named head writer in Feb. 2006 and has worked as both Executive Producer and head writer since Oct. 2006, has been let go.

Sony Exec. Steve Kent is reportedly running the show until a replacement is named. Kent's title is Senior Exec. Vice-President of Programming and he oversees Y&R and Days of our Lives. It is unclear who is writing the show at the present time.

Y&R would only say that Latham, as a member of the WGA, is on strike."
