Members DeeeDee Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 It wouldn't be so bad if his children were played by good actors. But when three of the four can't act & the other is in need of a strong director it doesn't bode well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 Absolutely. I'm assuming Morrow is the one in need of a strong director? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 I imagine it's not great at all for the other vets. Victor is the easy writing choice. They can just have him run over everyone, slur the day away, while everyone is crushed underfoot. They allow a huge number of characters to revolve around him because that means they don't have to make an effort. Even now, when he was almost out the door, we had to repeatedly hear reminders that Jack was as responsible for Patty (I don't buy it). Now that they have the name which automatically makes their job easier, that means most of the other vets are either going to be reduced to his pathetic foils (like what they did to Jill this year, and what they've done to Jack for some time now), or his chattel (Nikki and Ashley). That's even if any of these people stay on the show. I would guess Jill, Nikki, and Jack's days are numbered. Since Billy is the new Jack, I wonder if Victor will give him a pummeling. I expect to see, in time, Victor become this show's version of the Richard Nixon robot terror thing on Futurama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 They could both add a lot to the show with the proper writing (Russ may be best known for a sitcom, but then I think Braeden's best known credit before Y&R was as a villain on Wonder Woman). Now that EB is staying that seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 I don't think Braeden caved. He likes the show and therefore probably took the cut (which he stated he's willing to) but I would assume that he had his lawyers do the Reilly contract and that SONY has to pay him for the entire term of contract now - no matter what even if he'd be "fired" a day after signing this document. 3 years of stable income, especially at his age in the entertainment industry, is sth. worth more than just the money.

Administrator Toups Posted October 24, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yeah, I would love to know the terms of the contract. If Braeden got a "play or pay" deal ala Reilly in exchance for the pay cut, I think Braeden wins that deal. Also, I think people underestimate Braeden's star status. It's so rare that entertainment sites like EW.com or The Wrap covered this story so closely. The only other star who would garner this much attention would be Susan Lucci. Y&R losing EB/TGVN would've been a huge blow - losing someone who's been front burner for pretty much almost 30 years. When most people think of Y&R, they think of Victor Newman.

Members MarkH Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yup. The mention of the "new three-year contract" is very specific. I have assumed that he traded salary for a much more secure contract. We can bet he'll never tolerate 26 week cycles again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 But would you agree that with a strong director even Morrow can pull it out? Whereas Erin and Heinle...can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 Interesting how he reached an agreement with them once it was said they had people already to go to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
