Members dragonflies Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 http://soapoperadigest.com/news/breaking/ Kyle Lowder Off B&B Soap Opera Digest has learned that after four years on B&B,Kyle Lowder (Rick) is out. "Brad [Bell, executive producer/head writer] called this morning and said he felt terrible that they haven't been able to generate enough story for the character," reveals the actor. "He felt it was in everybody's best interest that we go in different directions. From my standpoint, it's an amicable situation. Obviously, it's their choice, but at the same time, the story has been slow for over a year-and-a-half and like any professional in any line of work would do, you prepare yourself for the next step. So, it wasn't a surprise that it was going to happen, but it was handled in the most respectful way and I have huge respect for Brad. I had a great four years there and I thank him for the opportunity. And now, onto the next thing." For the full story from Lowder, be sure to grab the issue of Digest on sale 2/15.

Members lovely_m Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 I wonder if they'll recast or not? It would be nice for Amber to hang around with someone her own age instead of kids out of high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not surprising, but sad. I like him. They could have done more with him. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Since Bradley went with the "not being able to generate story" lame excuse, I doubt they'd recast. Lowder is no loss for B&B, he is horrible, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 He did give good forehead. I think this must have been one of the only times that horribly OTT, embarrassing scenes actually caused Brad Bell to push an actor away. He was just awful in most of his major stories.

Members dragonflies Posted January 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm kind of glad they have Eric Martsolf as Brady on Days who I love or I think Kyle would be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 There was a time when he was on everyday. I guess Brad Bell did what he always does, overuses someone than get bored. It seemed like he did try to give Lowder one last storyline with Jackie but that fell through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cattykittens Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 sigh. I don't watch this show, but rushed to open this thread hoping it was Don Diamont. I want Brad back on Y&R so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 She last appeared December 15. She was supposed to go on recurring after that, but no appearance yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 No big loss. Im glad the show is finally focusing on Taylor's kids as for years all the focus seeemd to be on Brooke's litter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Aw that's to bad! I was hoping for a Rick/Amber hookup but oh well.... I am still SMH over that random arc of story a few months ago where Rick was trying to woo Jackie and get her to marry him. That story literally just vanished, along with all the main characters involved, who were gone for like a whole month soon after!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I thought they had stories about Phoebe/frozen-face Steffi and Thomas for quite a while. It's just that none of them could act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
