Y&R: Eric Braeden talks about 10,000th episode and more

[JaneAusten]

Says who. Miller is another one with an ego a mile long. I've seen more hate for Miller on this board than for KSJ

[DeeeDee]

The trolling is comical.

And still no one has anything to say about Tonya or Veronica's treatment except "it's too bad" Y&R didn't do more with them.

[JaneAusten]

I'm not sure who the troll is. Anytime someone doesn't agree with a post you make a comment they're a troll. Good to know. Not like anyone can have a different opinion right.

If you read the board you'd know Miller isn't a favorite here.

On that I'm done.

[DeeeDee]

Right.

[Eric83]

I just pray JFP fires Braeden on spot if he tries to act up. This man is too damn old to be this childish. I had no idea all the sh!t he has done. Is he really mad another character got the last word i n a scene? He (and Maurice Bernard) live vicariously through their characters.

[DeeeDee]

Bergman had as much to do with that fight as Braeden.

[Khan]

With all due respect, DeeeDee, I must beg to differ. I think plenty of people, from all walks of life, both on this board and elsewhere, would defend Kristoff. Now, would it save his job? That's another story.

[DeeeDee]

Sure Khan.

[alphanguy74]

Peter Bergman WAS to be fired, but Jeanne gave an ultimatum and said she's walk if they fired him, so they backed off. Jeanne said she wasn't really even taking sides, she thought it unfair to fire ONE of them. She felt you either let them both stay, or fire them both.

[Khan]

Me? I would have done the latter. No one actor is more important than the show. Period.

[alphanguy74]

Jane, Dee Dee always has to ahve the last word in a discussion as well.

I have to say I would have fired them both, too. I would have put on the knee pads and went to see Terry Lester.

[Khan]

Money. Power. Backstage politics. Betrayal.

You know, the usual.

[alphanguy74]

I wonder if TPTB are actually AFRAID of Braeden, and that's why he always gets his way. You know, us Germans tend to scare the sh!t outta people.

[Khan]

Y&R actors in particular have developed this bad habit of tanking stories, either through word of mouth, deliberately mediocre performances, or a combination of the two. And frankly...? That [!@#$%^&*]'s gotten old. It's one thing if you don't like the material, or the actors you're forced to perform with. But if these individuals, Black AND White, tried such tactics in a "normal" business environment, they'd be threatened with dismissals, if not outright handed their pink slips.

My advice to Y&R and all other soap actors: we know the material's [!@#$%^&*] and the co-workers are less than agreeable, but just STFU and do your job, okay? Because all this noise doesn't make what we see on-screen everyday any more tolerable.

[SFK]

I admire it when people go to bat for their co-workers, but in these instances, does anyone think an actor would really walk? Stay and be a little pissed, sure, but...
