Lauren Koslow (Jill Foster Abbott): Koslow, who has played Kate Roberts Brady on DAYS since 1996, will be temporarily assuming the role of Jill for five episodes. She has already reported to duty at the Y&R studio, with her first appearance scheduled to air on Thursday, June 25. Koslow previously played mischief-making Lindsey Wells on the soap from 1984-86.

Who's Going

Industry News
A Change is Gonna Come: Josh Griffith has opted to step down from his post as executive producer of Y&R, which he has held since 2023. He will remain as the show’s head writer, but Sally McDonald, who was previously serving as co-EP alongside Griffith, will now hold that position solo.

Novel Idea: Y&R stars Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Mark Grossman (Adam), Michael Graziadei (Daniel) and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe) will be directed by Y&R Director Fritz Brekeller in a reading of the upcoming romance novel She Wrote, He Wrote: A New York Love Story on Wednesday, May 20 at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles. The reading will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. Tickets are available now.
