Members DaytimeFan Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 That's the whole point, you can't be on a soap, auditioning for pilot season, thinking you're going to land a regular role in primetime when you have a daytime contract (often on a competing network)...Michael Graziadei also had a much, much bigger resume in much higher profile work when he finally quit. As well, he looks far younger than Billy Miller and they're exactly the same age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 Have any of his pilots been picked up? Because if not, he has not gotten a regular role. I think Graz has a shot, but it might or might not happen right away. And for many people it does take years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 And yet Graziadi seem to do just fine in guest spots while still on contract and got recurring roles too. Is he lucky or a better actor? As for miller, he seemed to be auditioning a lot. Remember when he was not shown for weeks on end. The story really suffered.

Members Soapsuds Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 Cant wait to see Real Billy return. I hope he gets some scenes with Jess Walton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 All I have been saying is that I have no idea why Miller did not leave sooner. All the stuff about holding Y&R hostage has nothing to do with the point I was making. Besides, no one held a gun to Y&R's head as far as I could tell.

Members DRW50 Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 I could see him on something like The Originals or Tomorrow People. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 Like minds...MG does just fine. He has had several recurring roles...not sure they were regular. But that is far more than BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 There is an interview in the other thread of him from three-four weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 Again, you are making my point. All that most soap actors hanging on to their daytime jobs can do is get primetime guest roles. Graziadi had to leave and audition full time before he got a shot at those pilots and who knows if they get picked up. He might have to audition tons more before getting a regular role or he can get one tomorrow. I have no idea how this competition you are creating between Graz and BM has anything to do with the point that I was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 MG took that leap and he has not suffered for it. YR would have to work around Miller's schedule. He ain't no damn Lucci or Geary! Bye talking ham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 The Tomorrow People sucks as it is. His resume does not list dates so casting directors would not have know if he was currently on a soap during auditions. They would just look at it as another past gig.

Members Vee Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 Exactly. He was using them as the fallback and settling in for a nice long Tony Geary Vacation Plan. And even Tony Geary hasn't earned that in a long time. This is not to say, mind you, that JFP's show is any good, because it's not, or that her obsession with and catering to Steve Burton is any more justified, because what they're doing with him is a massive failure - he's infinitely more overhyped and under-delivering than Miller ever was, he's been phoning it in from the ranch for years. But I've already watched Burton get booted off of GH, so that's all I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 19, 2013 Members Share Posted November 19, 2013 I agree that Y&R didn't have to keep him on. That was their choice and he didn't screw them over. JFP, or perhaps Sony working through her, seem much less willing to go along with this now. I hope this puts some of the others on notice, if Stafford's exit already didn't.
