‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Story Consultant Susan Dansby Leaving The Show
She took to her Facebook account to announce her departure by writing, “Today was my last day on The Young and the Restless. I decided not to renew my contract. Instead, I’m going to spend some time working on a book, among other things. So grateful to have had this year in Genoa City. Truly the perfect job at the perfect time.”
Of course, it didn’t take very long for both fans and critics to weigh in on the news. Many of them took to their social media accounts to comment with, “Well I think this is unfortunate in the respect of this show needing diversity in the writing team however the last year of Y&R has been TURRIBLE, so anyone that’s added to the ‘creativity’ of this mess leaving is no loss.
Shame Josh Griffith isn’t going,” along with, “This woman is a true legend and an inspiration to aspiring young black writers! It saddens me to know her work won’t be gracing TV screens anymore but I’m sure that book she’s working on will be a fantastic read.”
Another Y&R fan put it this way: “This worries me significantly. This is the same show and head writer that didn’t know what to do with Ana. Ana Hamilton, sister of leading character Devon but who was basically a blank slate. She was young, stunningly gorgeous, charismatic, charming, musically talented, and was a good actress. The character had strong ties to the canvas but had no real prior stories to retcon or hack to pieces so she should’ve been a writer’s DREAM scenario! They could have done literally anything with her character!”
