Free your headwriters and producers to do their jobs. Tell them that for six months you aren’t going to give them any notes at all. You’re going to trust that they know what they’re doing. I suspect that they’ve been writing for you, rather than the audience, for a very long time. I remember what a good writer Robert Guza used to be in the late 90s. Some of Ron Carlivati’s stories that you vetoed have leaked on-line. They’re a lot better than what is on the screen now. Allow them to create plots that you don’t like or understand. The audience might have a different opinion.

Sarah Bibel is reporting on her Deep Soap blog that "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."
