Y&R: Actors Out?

[y&r_fan]

No big loss. Adam's a jerk, Heather's a bimbo and River's a bore.

I don't know... the way he turned on his own father, that was a bad character write, I mean Adam always seemed a bit sketch, but - I always had big hopes for Victor Jr. , prolly because he was Hope's son, but it goes to show... the kid with the mild mannered sweet mother who grew up in a pretty decent stable home turned out to be more of a shark than the ones with the crazy parents and insane surroundings!

Speaking of which - I haven't heard from Victoria in awhile... and I'm not complaining. Wherever she's gone she can stay.

Vail Bloom's publicist is refuting the dismissal rumor. Indeed her "option" was just picked up (I assume that means the next 13-week cycle). (Note: There is nothing contradictory between a rumored dismissal--it could be planned to occur in 2009 sometime--and this refutation).

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

DC runs with the same story, but casts doubt on it:

[dm.]

Of course, I only read she's staying and got happy. There's ALWAYS a catch.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Sounds like to me that their sources were wrong and they're eating crow...

They did initially say SOD reported this news and then they edited it out. This "news" has been in too many "hands" for me to believe it now.

[dm.]

Yes, and we actually had not even one reliable source. Someone just reported a rumor and since Adam wants to leave GC at the moment everyone started to believe it. Then one source quoted that source and so on.....

I'm still a bit worried.

[DrewH]

Thank God! I'm glad to see all three are leaving. Heather and River can stay gone. I wouldn't mind seeing Adam return later on down the line.

[Toups]

I'm glad SOD debunked the rumour. I like Chris and Heather.

[Cashton]

You and me both Toups!

Here is why the rumor remains plausible...and it has nothing to do with the actors.

Separately and together, Heather and Adam are trying to FALSELY take down Victor Newman.

He will not stand for that. He will crush them like cockroaches.

It is hard to imagine they can even get jobs as waiters in GC. And if they eat crow, it is hard to imagine that Victor will be forgiving. Heather can't go into private practice...no one will hire her. Mikey can't hire her, since Victor is his main gig.

Adam has already established he is toast.

Any magazine $$ Adam has he'll probably have to return.

And Heather won't ever forgive Adam, will she?

This is why I fear the actors have to go. The characters are being written into a corner.

Every rumored departure (Gross, Sursock, Engen, Bloom) seems plausible. That is what makes it worrisome to me.

[baller]

yup, but they word it now so that if and when it ever happens (hope it doesn't) they'll come out saying "We told you first when we twisted a rumor around" to try and have some sort of "first"..

dmarex, I Know! It's exciting that the option got picked up!

I so wish we'd see Heather just lose it and go crazy and we see a new side once all the Adam stuff comes out...

Who keeps making up the rumors about Chris Egen and Vail Bloom? It seems they have an agenda.
