On a recent afternoon, Josh Griffith and Amanda Beall were huddled in an office at CBS Television City, brainstorming a way for two characters on "The Young and the Restless" to embark on a brief affair.
Beall, the show's co-head writer, had an idea. "Bunker sex," she said. "It's tried and true."
Griffith, the head writer and executive producer, nodded in agreement. "It has to be something where they both realize it doesn't have a future."
