Bibel, Brent Boyd, Susan Dansby, Christopher Dunn, Sara Endley, Janice Ferri Esser, Marin Gazzaniga, Lynn martin, Natalie Minardi Slater and Therese Zimmermann.
Due to its fi-core status during the infamous 2007/2008 writers’ strike, Josh Griffith, the head writer and co-executive producer of “The Young and the Restless,” is ineligible (see story) for a WGA nomination.
