Young and Restless Boss on the Way Out?

Lynn Latham by Cliff Lipson/CBS
Could the writers' strike be good for
The Young and the Restless? Word is, executive producer/head writer Lynn Marie Latham - who has nearly ruined the once-glorious soap - will not return, no matter when and how the walkout ends. When contacted, a rep for the CBS-Sony show hemmed and hawed but did not deny Latham's ousting or reports that Sony programming VP Steve Kent has now taken command. He's not just some suit. Kent was supervising producer of
Santa Barbara, arguably the best daytime soap ever. -
