Members Rakesh Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 Exactly! Ever since Maria joined the show, what story has Melody gotten? It's like she's some random new [!@#$%^&*] who pops up here and there. I would be pissed just like I am right now! Hate him or love him, Braden IS the star of Y&R. Obviously she can't pen a decent story by herself. She'll probably make David KrazyFuck and Jill Lorie look like superstars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 I would have mixed feelings. As much as The mustache annoys me, he is a huge part of this show. Again, losing him would be the beginning of the end. Part of the problem is that no one is in place who can take Nikki's place. If HT had never left the role of Victoria, that might not be the case.

Members cara mia Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 Why should MTS take a cut? She is worth 10 actors! The whole Victor/Ashley/Adam story has really been missing Nikki. As good as it is, it would have been stellar if Nikki had been the mix. And imagine how much more powerful if Paul & Nikki had a real romance and P/N/V/A had been written a full & true quad. Also, where is Nikki in Nick's story? If anything MTS should have story every damn day. The phasing out of Nikki has really hurt the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 As much as I've been enjoying the show over the last eight months, I have to agree. I can name at least ten actors right off the bat who could be let go without even a negotiation and nobody would care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members classicmoment Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'm starting to see that as some sort of anticipation of the essential events that we are now upon. It seems to me that's TPTB running interception because they expected to make this request and they expected this reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 After the past year, I'd probably be relieved. Too many characters have been damaged or ruined for Victor's ego, and it's all for stories which seem to have little purpose or heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's time to get a REALLY GOOD storyteller in there that can write this show by himself/herself (possibly with a lower level Co-HW), or just promote Natalie and Janice, who are already on staff. MAB has no management skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cara mia Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 When MTS goes, it will be obvious to many that the Emperor has no clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members classicmoment Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 Honestly I'm on the bandwagon of Glo/Jeff/Tyra/Nu-Colleen(she's not being used nobody will be missing her) time has expired. I don't rally for anyone to lose their jobs but the impact would certainly be less than that of Nikki's absense. If she has tot ake a paycut fine but perhaps 70% is asking anyone a bit much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cashton Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 Wow - I just read that article now and I'm sorry, but I can see how it's wreaking havoc on the show. Paul and Nikki's wedding was supposed to happen in May - but now it's being put off. I even get the feeling that this is why we get the art caper every day instead of Nikki and Paul. This is also probably why Victor is giving his blessing to the wedding now instead of causing trouble. You know who I feel for in this whole debacle? Doug! He gets a crack at his first major story in a long time and it gets derailed cause MTS doesn't want a paycut. Now it's gonna mess with the MJ plot and ya'll know I don't like that! Bummer, bummer, bummer. i tell ya, the sloppy art story is all cause of MTS and the reverberations from MTS's contract mess. I was all for MTS but now it's severely affecting Y&R the show I watch. I hope MTS goes gracefully and signs a year contract renewal and renegotiates later. I wish we could get some actual information on what sort of cut they're asking her to take. a paycut is not a slap in the face to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 Again, Y&R's "symphony" at the moment... And no, this time it's not a crack at you, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cashton Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thank you for that - I honestly feel like MAB would want MTS to stay on forever and make a million bucks an episode if she could afford to. I really do. Cutting out 10 characters for the sake of one just doesn't seem rational. and what happens when they want to cut PB, EB or JC's salary? Just have vets only? That's not realistic.

Members cara mia Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 What the hell happened to the show? A few weeks ago, a lot of us were happy and optimistic about the show. Now the threads are mostly negative (and I know I'm partly responsible for this) and relatively short. Why the heck did Y&R have to go to Paris last year? That surely would have covered MTS salary. Fans don't really care if we're in Europe. They could have easily done the photoshoot in LA and told the same story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 It was Paris that made Nick and Sharon fall back in love. The elevator at Restless Style just isn't as romantic a setting. Plus, Phyllis spying her husband in a lip lock with his ex is so much more dramatic in front of the Eiffel Tower than the lobby of Crimson Lights, LoL.

Members classicmoment Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 For me I stand with her depending on how much. I mean where-ever I work if I make a million in salary and they asked me to cut 70%, while I make nowhere near that now but if I have enough I would be fighting over principle of it as well. I'll take a cut but 70% is like wooah. I'm just saying if that's how they are doing it all or nothing I would have to stand up, now do I think she should walk over it I don't want her to. I just think for it to have come to this is poor management skills and I don't blame MAB because I don't think she negotiated her current contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
