I cannot say I'm shocked.

Well he might have been the jerk for all we know. Or maybe they are both okay people who's personalities clashed.

This article came out a while ago. I'm surprised we didn't hear about it sooner.

She was still pretty young back then and I think he was new to acting, really (I do remember reading something about his ego, but not sure what)

He's always had a terrible reputation. There's a reason he came out - for press.

I have no problem believing Sydney Penny was equally ill-behaved, though. At that time, as a breakout star on AMC and post-starring role during the demise of SB, with a long career as a child actress, she had likely been positioned to believe she was the next best thing.

Isn't the big rumor that Ripa, Gellar, and Penny were all childish cliquey bitches behind the scenes for a while in the mid-90s? And now they all (or...Ripa, at least) look back at that time with shame and regret? Or am I confusing them with others?

You need more people.

is this about Michelle Stafford?

Nope.

Chris Engen.

I met him at the Shakespeare Theatre in D.C. a few years back, he seemed like a nice guy. I actually *heard* him before I saw him and turned around to see that my hunch was correct. This was right after he'd left Y&R and I said, "So Keith, they need you back on AMC" and he smiled and said, "So that's what they tell me..." Then he and some dude joined hands and skipped down the hallway and locked themselves in the bathroom... haha, j/k.

Re: AMC's very own brat pack, when I saw SMG on Regis & Kelly a couple of years ago, it seemed like there was no love lost between SMG and Kelly. They did NOT seem like old friends, if anything, they seemed like they were tolerating one another (reading into it, purely vibes, I was siding with Kelly). Matter fact, they didn't even mention AMC. How peculiar is that?

I'm more surprised to learn he and SydPen hated each other.

ha me too!

That is a big rumor, and i think its prob trueish, as in they were all bitches but not a cliq.

Its pretty well known that Geller is a raging bitch.

This line made me laugh, but it is a horrible thing to say: “Do you know what it’s like to be stalked by middle aged white females, some with clip on dread locks?” he shuddered. “Hopefully now, they’ll leave me alone.”

I didn't even have a gaydar back then so I had no idea he was gay. I did, however, know he was a douche and I see he still is.

Nope.

Chris Engen.

It cant be him. The quote is

Rather an ego deflater for her when I had to force myself to kiss her. She begged them to kill off my character, and I was happy to leave.”

Thats Keith and he's talking about an actress. I wanted to know who that actress was that couldnt stand him. Im guessing it was Stafford bc she's the only one I recall him paired with

I think you got it a little mixed up. KHC was talking about Sydney Penny, but quartermainefan was relating the situation of KHC, a gay man, having to kiss a woman to the situation of Chris Engen, a straight man, having to kiss a man.

Gay or not, I always found KHC to be a horrible, horrible actor. And supremely creepy in interviews.

I thought he was just brilliant on The Young and the Restless. One of the most interesting minority actors they brought on. He had a different quality and was smoldering with Michelle Stafford. IMO Damon/Phyllis was the last time we saw the true Phyllis, the bad ass outsider than Bill Bell created. There was long term potential with that pairing and giving the fued with Drucilla true weight since she clearly had feelings for Damon as well. Throw in his connect with Diane and the people at Jabot and you have a winner.

Exactly.
