Members Angela Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 Since I can't confirm this because I don't know, I'll put it up here for discussion (this was linked at GL buzz and Mouse is supposedly a good source at Mediadomain): http://www.mediadomain.com/cgi-bin/netforum/gl/a.cgi/3-101 Hard to believe but Vincent Irizarry (ex Lujack, Nick McHenry - GL) has been let go from AMC. IMO, this is proof positive that daytime has taken a downward spiral - what could they be thinking? An actor of VI's caliber deserves much better and i'm sure he'll find it elsewhere. Or at the very least, since GL seems to be so into bringing back former fan favorites, i'd love to see them scoop Irizarry up & back into the fold. AMC is beyond foolish. ----- SOW: Is Jacob Young (JR) leaving when his contract expires? "We don't comment on contracts," says an AMC rep. Uh-oh.

Members Casey Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 I don't want to believe it...but hey, I wouldn't be surprised and what can I say...lucky him. I swear, with all of the good talent ABCD let's slip away CBS could make a brand new soap and give ABC a run with the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted September 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 I agree. McTavish, Frons, Burton - whoever decided this IF it's true - awful decision. Of all the actors they could let-go/fire, he wouldn't have been in my top 20 list! I hope it's wrong information. Here's where the rumor/info was originally linked from (GL Buzz): http://www.glbuzz.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=27353 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'm sorry for VI fans but I was afraid when I read the title that Mitchell, Herlie or Barr were leaving. I'm glad ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 I would NEVER think to get rid of VI!! In my opinion, David Hayward is one of those signature characters. The way VI has played him is incredible. Even during the crappy storylines (I hated how David chose Babe over Bianca), I still enjoyed him! This is ridiculous. They don't know the difference between style and substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LookingGlass Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 It's true (about Vincent). Guys I said back in July Vincent was out sooner rather than later but nobody wanted to believe it. I can only hope that what I heard back then about him being fired was indeed false and that this is actually his choice. I highly doubt it but I pray he has something else lined up and asked to leave. As for Myrtle, Palmer and Brooke, you might be glad it wasn't about them this time, but next time it probably will be.

Members SouthOfSoap Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 Wow, thats crap for AMC. VI is an awesome actor, and David is (for me at least) the most interesting character on AMC - he has so many layers. I hope he lands another gig soon or AMC reconsider (if its true...)

Members rsmith2k2 Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 Utter insanity if true. His departure for me would rank up there with Eden's and Rebecca's and that's a pretty damned big deal. Their loss is still felt on the show today. Frons and his fucked up focus groups need to keep somebody on the show who can actually act--they're becoming few and far between. I'd much rather they ditch Thorsten (the actor's fine but I don't care if Zach leaves forever and I don't think the show longterm would be compromised outside the admittedly large upset for fans of Zach and Kendall..and the show can't really afford to piss off any more viewers). But I realize that won't happen and I do admit I want Zach around as a mitigating factor, competing lover man, as long as they have Kendall sniffing around Ryan.

Members Q Steph Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'm going to dissent from the majority and say I'm glad Vincent is leaving the show. His talents have been wasted for the past four years. He hasn't carried or been a pivotal character for months. GL needs an actor of his claiber to offset the newbies.

Members AMCZen Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 It wouldn't surprise me if it was VI's choice to leave. The character has been isolated since he kept the secret about Miranda being alive. I didn't like David betraying the Kane's, who were more of a family to him than Krystal and Babe ever were, but if AMC had to do it, I wish they had continued with the brief David/Kendall flirtation. Imagine the scenes between VI and AM when Kendall found out about the secret David was keeping. And it would have saved Kendall from Rylee hell. I have to say I haven't missed Greenlee for a second. Budig's great, but after Rylee I had no interest in Greenlee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 ABC should just put this show out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted September 14, 2006 Members Share Posted September 14, 2006 It can be saved. Any show can be saved. DAYS is being saved as we speak But this is one of the most stupidest moves ABC for any of their shows has made. Its just ridiculous but I am not that surprised. Vincent would not have left on his own. His contract didn't expire until I think 2008. He resigned for 4 years in 2004. I have a funny feeling Burton could have been behind this..... he wants to make alot of cast cuts and he may have not saw much more potential for David. If that is the case I highly disagree. Megan sure she sucked alot of potential out of him but he could have easily got it back. I wonder how they'll write David out. And about Jacob Young.... I figured we would have heard by now if he was leaving. His contract I think expired like a week ago or at least soon. He first aired the 2nd week of October in 2003.... they tape a month in advance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
