Writer Kay Alden, who joined The Young and the Restless during its very first year, is returning to the iconic CBS soap opera as a story consultant, reports Daytime Confidential. Alden joins another longtime Y&R writer, Sally Sussman, who was recently named the show's new head writer.

“Welcoming Kay back to The Young and the Restless, joining Sally Sussman and Mal Young [executive producer], continues our commitment to telling the most powerful stories while honoring the legacy of daytime's No. 1 drama,” said CBS Daytime and CBS Entertainment Executive Vice-President Angelica McDaniel.

With the addition of Young, and the returns of Sussman and Alden, it looks like the light finally went off in the heads of Sony and CBS about what is needed to make Y&R top notch soap again. Let's hope they let them tell the stories they want to tell without too much interference.
