Priscilla Kay Alden (born October 24, 1946) is a television writer and the former head writer for the soap opera, ''The Young and the Restless''. ==Career== Alden began writing for ''The Young and the Restless'' as a script writer in 1974 while researching her dissertation at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.() She was promoted to associate head writer in 1987, then to co-head writer in 1997. () She took over as head writer the following year when series co-creator William J. Bell stepped down from the position. With Alden as head writer, the show lost about two million viewers (most of the loss occurred in 2004 when Alden co-wrote the show with longtime ''Y&R'' scribe and producer John F. Smith), but all soap operas during that period experienced a similar scale of massive audience erosion. She quit ''The Young and the Restless'' in late 2006, and was then hired by Brian Frons, president of ABC Daytime, to consult on its serials ''All My Children'', ''General Hospital'' and ''One Life to Live''. She left ABC Daytime after declining ''All My Childrens head writer position in Spring 2007, and was hired by Bradley Bell in May 2007 to be an associate head writer for another CBS Daytime drama, ''The Bold and the Beautiful''. On July 18, 2008, it was announced that Alden would be appointed co-head writer of ''The Bold and the Beautiful'' in the coming weeks. () During the WGA strike she went under financial core status () while working for ''The Bold and the Beautiful''. In 2012, Alden was spotted on the set of ''The Young and the Restless'' for the taping of the show's 10,000th episode, leading many to believe she'd re-joined the show as a writer or story consultant. () However, this never came to pass. There is a scholarship in Alden's name from Emporia State University, in Emporia, Kansas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kay Alden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
