Members JimTolkien Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 And here we go if this all turns out to be true!!! Let's all thank Maria Arena Bell and her brilliant writing team for putting the show in this position!! I am not going to blame Sony for this..NOPE..won't do it!!

Members aMLCproduction Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 Just wow. Any other sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 If this is true we'll know soon enough. BTW, Daytime Confidential said they looked into the rumors and are hearing the same thing. Kenny from Daytime Royalty (and SON occasionally) who has broke many stories said it's true as well. Their joint exit (said to be filled with flashbacks) is set for Nov. 2nd or 4th, I forget the exact date. We'll know within two or three weeks if they're 100% leaving the show. Sad time to be a Y&R fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 This doesn't even really seem like a proper exit, especially after all these years. And Nikki, who I always loved so much as a character in her own right, is leaving as nothing more than Victor's enabler. Remember when we were supposed to celebrate Nikki's independence and be so happy that she was finally out on her own? Yeah, just another con job from this team. Thanks so much, Sony, MAB, etc. for continuing to take away what made this show special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shadow Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 Color me shocked..................NOT!!! This is what happens when the #1 show loses millions of viewers. becomes the laughing stock of soaps with atrocious writing almost Passions like (damn we didnt even get and Emmy Nom). CBS/Sony has pulled rank, and no actor has any bargaining power thanks to MAB and crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 I find it so hard to believe that CBS/Sony would allow Y&R to lose two of its most popular actors. I have a strange feeling that CBS/Sony is preparing for the end in 2011 when the current contract is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 As in CBS plans to end all of it's daytime dramas in 2 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 I meant the end of Y&R's current contract in 2011. It was posted here that they only got a two year renewal earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 It has been posted on one news site. The second one deals with Peter Straus, etc. http://daytimeconfidential.com/2009/10/21/rumor-report-is-yrs-melody-thomas-scott-in-contract-drama-again http://www.thewrap.com/ind-column/showdown-genoa-city-rocks-soap-world-8970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 *sigh* I know that Day's ratings rose after John and Marlena left, but does that really mean that a soap that gets an average rating of around 3.5 should take lessons from a soap that gets 2.2's? Shouldn't Y&R think that maybe they are the ones who have been doing it right by having a stable cast all these years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 So I was that right that MTS was misrepresenting the situation when she claimed that she did not take a pay cut and worked things out with Sony. Oh well. It is capitalism is a cut throat business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 Gotta love how all these new characters are being added during the key November Sweeps period. And Y&R has no backup plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daphne Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 I never imagined Y&R without Victor and Nikki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've seen Y&R without Victor and Nikki. It can be done, and done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted October 23, 2009 Members Share Posted October 23, 2009 You're right, of course. But do you really think this is a good idea at this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
