INTERVIEW: Y&R executive producers Maria Arena Bell and Paul Rauch
Rauch on starting at Y&R: "I think the single most important thing that I got accomplished when I came here, was to make good the relationship between writing and production and to establish proper communication, which there was a lack of. Maria was having a hard time getting through to production and she needed to be way more involved than she was and consulted a lot more than she was. I think we took care of that in pretty short order. I think Maria has great taste in acting, and great taste in actors. I think she and I are in sync with everything we do."
