Y&R: Looks like Shemar Moore has changed his mind about Y&R!

[Y&ROn&Off]

Remeber a few weeks ago...or month...SM was quoted in SOD saying that he was "done with Y&R"???

This:

Well, now in a, i think somewhat new interview, he seems too have changed his mind alittle!

Shemar Moore on SOD Online

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!!!!!

[Pest Spray]

Seriously... Practicing in daytime is like learning to swim in the Pacific.

[psychofan]

I despise Shemar Moore. He absolutely makes me sick with his stupid big head. I hope Criminal Minds gets cancelled and he tries to come crawling back to daytime and nobody will take his ass.

[Mason]

I'm sick of former daytime actors thinking they're too good for it, once they leave it. Get over yourself!

[Toups]

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.

[Mason]

There's nothing wrong with not staying in daytime if that's not your intent, but to act like you're too good for it after the fact is just arrogant and egotistical.

[Q Steph]

Right. He's very arrogant.

[winterguy125]

At one time I really liked Shemar, but I really can't stand him anymore and I hope that he never comes back to Y&R

[Josh]

I agree with exactly what you said!! :SHOCK: 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!!

[P.J.]

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.

[All My Shadows]

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!!!

[Actor87]

Oh..screw him with a wooden spoon!!

Shish-ka-bobs!

He said it, he obviously meant it. Any retractional statement after the fact is obviously an ill-fated attempt to save his reputation with soap viewers.

[DeeeDee]

Shemar's always been like that.

He's improved but the next Denzel?

Yeah, not gonna happen. lol

[DrewH]

Haha, we'll see what happens about 3 years from now when CBS cancels Criminal Minds. Hopefully, by then The Hack will have found a recast Malcolm, if that's in the cards, and Moore will be d-e-n-i-e-d!
