Geez, what was up tonight? lol Looks like Billy Miller and Michael Grazeidai are leaving, but both decided not to renew their contracts.

I'm going to miss Graz, but I'm glad Miller is gone. He didn't want to be there and it showed. David Tom needs to return, but that will never happen.

Now Billy can chase pilot season with no interference from YR. Bye!

I wish them well but I sure do hate that they are leaving Y&R.

Of the 15 I wanted to leave (so that the Y&R vets could have the airtime), these 2 were not among them. Neither was Marcy Rylan. I am on the fence about Heather as the actress was from my favorite soap, ATWT.

Good if true it's long overdo for Miller to leave and MG has been doing way better in primetime than on this show where barely does anything, I thought he would've left months ago. Miller would leave on his own terms because JFP isn't giving him the same kind of contract MAB got and she actually put him to work and made him makeup days he missed because of pilot season!

again....not sure if i necessarily wanted to see these 2 on the chopping block....I was hoping it would be Nichols and Goddard they were thinking of cutting (not that it could eventually happen)

I hear Jerry Douglas is taping next week.

Jerry needs to come back permantely

They should've written John as moving away to retire instead of having his ghost pop in an out(have the time when Aunt Jack is whining).

I actually like every move that's been made. I don't care how much I may like an actor, if they're character isn't really adding value, is miscast, or in Millers case, is checked out, they aren't needed.

Daniel hasn't had a purpose in so long. They throw him in a romance with Heather? Why? What's the story. His character IMO has been in limbo directionless for ages. I feel the same for Abby, you can always bring these characters back when you have or if you ever have a plan for them. For what they add to the canvas now, their salaries probably don't justify it.

Miller, I'm sorry I am thrilled for the first time Sony is letting him walk. You can't have an actor you want involved in A stories waiting for his next primetime gig to come along before he bolts for 3 months. Like EB or not, when he's signed to Y&R he's 100% committed. There are too many good out of work actors that would take half the salary and be dedicated and likely do a better job.

Glad to see Graz go, I never liked Daniel. I'll be sad about Billy Miller leaving, but Y&R also needs an actor committed to the role & not trying to look for primetime gigs all the time.

There goes the Abbotts. I was really hoping this would be Stephen Nichols though. They've wasted Daniel for a good 2 years though, so I don't blame him for leaving.

They can recast Billy. Miller was barely around to do any stories but baby mama story #5.

Miller has wasted so many years of his potential prime time career staying on Y&R. Oh well, it was a regular pay check. We'll see if he gets prime time work now.

Too bad about Graz. All he needed was a shower and a haircut and he'd be good to go as the next young male lead of the show.

Billy Miller OTOH... thank god his scenery-chewing ass is finally outta there!

I'm going to miss Graz, but I'm glad Miller is gone.

Same.

Wow, Y&R. I wonder who'll be left standing after everyone else either jumps ship or gets pushed?
