I have lost so much respect and admiration that I once had for Shemar! So sad to see him saying things like this. And it really just chaps my fat ass to hear ex-daytime stars say:

How come they don't look at this as a job!! I wish I were a fly on the wall when Jeanne Cooper reads this!! I guess she's still practicing!!!! OH!!!!!

Young actors use daytime to train and practice acting. It's a known fact. They don't become actors to stay in daytime. They want to be in film or primetime.

Only actors who cannot have a career in film/tv are soap actors.

I don't see anything wrong with what Shemar said.

I agree with exactly what you said!! :SHOCK: :o LOL.....

There is nothing wrong with leaving daytime! Just don't go parading around that it was training ground...be glad that you got your break and be respectful to the genre who gave it to you. We all know what people think but it's another to hear them say it!!

One, I kind of sympathize with the guy, in this regard....he's ON a hit show, and for some reason, SOW (or SOD, whichever it was) had to SCREAM the headline "Y&R Hunk Refuses to return!" WTH is that about? He's. On. A. Hit. Show. Like Y&R wants to write a six week stint for Malcolm to fit into his down time? (It's not like Thomas Gibson ever gets asked this question, and he started on soaps too. He was Lily's first husband, Derek Mason on ATWT.)

SOW/SOD screwed him over to sell mags. Pure and simple.

And two...he's not (and never has been) the be all, end all in the acting department. Frankly, if he hadn't had the body to flaunt, he might not have gotten on Y&R in the first place. While he's grown, he's never gonna be Denzel.

Not true!

Just ONE example: Corbin Bernsen is a pretty familiar name in primetime, especially because of "LA Law," yet he's said time and time again that he'd do daytime if it the character is good enough. And not a good six months after I saw him say that in an interview, he started airing on GH in 2004.

Some people choose to stay in daytime, and those are the true stars of soap opera. Not the "before they were stars" group that the mainstream media likes to pimp out all the time. I will NEVER get over my shock and pain from when CBS aired their "CBS at 75" anniversary special in 2003 and the soap opera segment consisted only of Patricia Heaton making lame jokes (as Flannery, Cooper, Zimmer, Wagner, and Byrne scowled in the audience) and a montage of celebrities who began on the current CBS soaps. It was an INSULT!!!

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
