The Young and the Restless: What Happened on Josh Griffith’s Final Show as Head Writer
It was the end of an era for The Young and the Restless on Tuesday, November 10, which was Josh Griffith’s final episode as head writer. In advance of new head writers Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor’s material debuting on Wednesday, November 11, here’s a look at what happened in Griffith’s last Y&R show.
Nick’s Sobriety Was at Stake
Nick arrived at Crimson Lights to find Nikki berating Sharon for taking part in the Jabot photo shoot, calling it a betrayal of the Newman family. He urged his mother to relax, and Nikki stormed out.
Sharon asked Nick how he was doing with his addiction battle, and he admitted he’d been struggling. He thought he’d been doing better at work, but a visit to Marie had brought it all back. Nick then showed Sharon some bags of pills he’d stolen from Joe, the dealer, to test his sobriety — and she wondered if he’d passed the test.
Victor Wanted Jack’s Help with Billy
After Diane left for work, Jack was surprised by a visit from Victor, who wanted him to handle Billy before he did something to hurt the Newman family. Jack argued that they should let Billy and Adam work things out for themselves, but Victor explained he was concerned about Adam because of the amount of time he’s been spending with Sally and Ruby.
Jack agreed that this was troubling, and he assured Victor he would keep an eye on the situation.
Diane and Nikki Battled It Out
At the GCAC, Daniel was so frustrated by Phyllis’s obsession with Arabesque becoming bigger than Newman Enterprises that he walked out on his mother.
Diane arrived to book the Jazz Lounge for a Valentine’s Day event, but Phyllis didn’t understand the urgency. Nikki then popped up to reveal that she wanted to book it for Vibrante, and Phyllis watched, amused, as the two women sniped at each other.
Devon Worried About Abby’s Health
Abby wasn’t pregnant, but Devon urged his wife to get some more tests to find out what was causing her symptoms. When Traci arrived, Abby used the distraction to duck out of the conversation.
Devon asked Traci to head up the creative writing department at his new school, and a flattered Traci said she needed time to think about it because she wasn’t sure she could handle a full-time job.
Daniel showed up and complained to Abby about working with Phyllis. Inspired, she suggested to Devon that he hire Daniel to be the head of his school’s graphic arts department. Daniel was surprised by the job offer and said he’d be in touch.
He returned to the GCAC, where Nikki and Diane were still trying to get Phyllis to rent them the lounge. He berated his mother for using her company to embarrass and hurt people, so Phyllis left him to deal with the situation and make the choice between the women himself.
Back at Society, Traci agreed Abby should have more tests done. When Abby returned to Devon, her heart began racing, and he quickly called for an ambulance.
