Congratulations to multiple Daytime Confidential podcast guest Tom Casiello, who has landed a trial deal with The Young and the Restless. The Emmy-winning breakdown writer broke the news on his offical blog. Here's a peek at what Casiello has to say about his long-awaited return to daytime:
I'm incredibly excited and unbelievably nervous, but I can tell you that I plan on devoting my ALL to this show. I love what Maria Arena Bell has been doing this last year, and I've been incredibly invested in the show for a long time now. After talking to the different members of the team I worked with, just knowing I have their support as well, on top of Maria and Hogan and Scott's support, means everything to me. I never want to get a job on my friendships alone, so knowing many of them believe in me as a writer is truly amazing. I can't wait to dive right in."

Congratulations Tom this is wonderful news!!
This can only improve the already incredible Y&R.
Let Maria Arena Bell know we all love what she has been doing this past year. I started watching Y&R due to all the positive feedback it has received from Jamey, Luke, and the DC Crew.

Fantastic News for Tom!
I have become a fan of Tom for his honesty during the Writer's strike and behind the scenes stories on the DC podcasts and other online radio shows I have heard him on.
Best wishes on this new adventure for you.
