Y&R already had their token gay hiring with Thom Bierdz, that was it for them. Besides, Scott and Brett can act, Y&R doesn't do that these days.

I think Jason's probably just about gone. Langston has been ruined but that makes her more viable for today's soap world. Starr, eh, I guess it depends on whether Danielle becomes popular.

I am pretty shocked by this news.. And I am gay. But both actors did nothing for me. I am all for diversity in soaps, especially OLTL as that is what the show's original vision was. But I am more "offended" by the show writing off Rachel.

Did anyone find KISH not all that compelling and the actors not that great? I feel that I may be alone in this judging by the outrage...

I would love to know what is going on that show. And I have this weird vibe that Carlivati is going to gone soon too. They are saying that the actors will be gone by mid April so this "write out" must have been insanely abrupt- OLTL tapes 6 weeks in advance, right?

And I have a feeling Valentini had to have been forced by Frons.

No wonder fans are dwindling for soaps when they find out that the talented ones (like Scott Evans) find out they are fired online! That shows a lot of respect for the actors. If the powers-that-be don't even care about the actors on their shows, then why should the fans?

Something must seriously be wrong with OL right now. I wonder if there is talk about a massive budget cut in order to be renewed (much like that of DAYS). To just all of a sudden get rid of this many people, this quickly does not seem "typical". It's too bad that the show seems to be targeting the ones that are actually talented. Daphnee, Scott C., Brett, and Scott E. can ALL act....unfortunately the writing hasn't helped them win any fans.

I used to be a big fan of Rex....note..USED to be, but he's been ruined for me. I'd much rather have Rex/Gigi, Cole/Langston/Markko, Greg?Shaun/Destiny gone instead of either of the above four. Starr could be recurring and show occasionally, but she does not need to be on 24/7!

OL is just in a sad state right now...

Do you think OL would write a new character for Thorsten Kaye if it meant getting him back? Didn't he play twins already? If he hated Patrick, why not make him someone else? Other actors on the show have played more than one character before. Just wondering....

I wouldn't mind RC leaving, but I fear who Frons would choose as a replacement. It is about time this show had a major overhaul. They have been throwing on new characters just for the hell of it.

Ford I'm looking at you!

Exactly!! This sucks!!! We still are stuck with Farah Fath and JPL. When will they be fired?? They deserve to be fired for their awful acting. I guess no more OLTL for me after April. I guess my soap viewing days are really going to be gone in September.

Watch it happen!! AMC and OLTL will be fighting to see who gets cancelled next. Having Krieizman on board at AMC is bad news...I can see Frons pulling a Passanante and Goutman out of his ass.

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
