I think it depends on your definition of "controversial." I would say Peter Porte/Ricky is controversial because he was miscast, obviously, and not too many viewers have been satisfied with his performances, despite the show's giving him so much attention.

That describes alot of the new hires!

Charmin or whatever his name is. Maybe they plan on getting rid of Gloworm, who actualy eats there anymore. That mean they could get rid of Gloria & Jeffery.

Maybe Ricky offs Daisy? In any cast both Zima and Porte obviously have been failures although Porte doesn't bother me so much even though I hate seeing Paul's son be Adam 2.0

I don't mind Porte actually. I'd say the only 'controversial' actors (other than Zima) that need to go are Genie Francis and Julia Pace Mitchell (and Khalil and Goddard but that's a pipe dream).

But it specifies a male actor so it probably is either Porte or Stephen Nichols (maybe Tucker goes with Ashley?).

not trying to be rude, but why are you bringing nelson's crap here?

But she pops!

Because thought YR fans may want to know

Nobody is forcing you to read it.

I don't see how Ricky would be controversial.

I could see how Ricky would be considered in the same vain as Yvonne Zima. Zima isn't really controversial either: she's pretty much universally hated by everyone except MAB. The only controversy is over why they keep re-hiring her and firing people like Eileen Davidson, who makes everything work and "pop".

A case could be made more for Porte, who seems to be pretty polarizing: you either really like him or you hate him. I happen to be in the camp that really likes him. I'd MUCH RATHER watch him subtly underplay Ricky than watch Billy Miller's mugging or Michael Muhney's over-inflated ego (The NERVE of a first-year soap actor complaining about being left out for an Emmy when it took Jeanne Cooper her lifetime to win one and KKL still hasn't ever been nominated and probably never will now that Brooke's "heydey" is long gone, not to mention the fact that his costar in his initial story (ED) had about 25 more years in the business than he had, yet has never won the elusive statue).

I could also see it being:

Muhney (doubtful though), Miller (also doubtful), Nichols, or, knowing Nelson, that Jeff Branson has opted never to return, so he's been "let-go" from his non-pilot season implied contract.

Rumor is that the other is Michael Grazedi. daniel kills daisy & goes to Jail

Daisy's character was always a vehicle for another Hamner murder mystery...he aint no Henry Slesar! So this departure is no surprise. Yawn

Rumor is that the other is Michael Grazedi. daniel kills daisy & goes to Jail

According to Branco? Or specualation?

Or one & the same? ( )

Billy Miller might as well leave. He's the first one out the door during pilot season and then he has to leave again to film what he booked.

Well Zima is recurring and she's come and gone a couple of times so I don't get how she would be fired. The story she was brought back for would just end.

This time, though, Daisy could be killed off, which would be a blessing for Y&R fans the world over.

Kimberlin Brown in as the nu-Daisy, Cameron Mathison come on board as Daniel.

It's Ricky....they are getting rid of him.

GOOD!!

Right now (with ED already gone) there are very few actresses left that I truly care about them keeping- Jessica Collins, Jess Walton, MTS, and I guess Stafford, if only because Phyllis causes a lot of drama and can be written in story with pretty much any character}.

The rest of em can pretty much go as far as I'm concerned (including Cooper, who I'd KILL to see recast with Michael Learned permanently! )
