Members Bright Eyes Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 Agreed. And at the same time, it paints Benard in a new favourable light to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 Did he have reason to be threatened by Michael Easton of all people though? It's been months since Jason "died" and McBain is essentially a useless background character with no real story or individual direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 LOL Y&R fans are getting it from both sides, first JFP and now SBu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 From what I'm hearing Easton is not being received very well. But I knew Stevo left because he was not going to be written as top dog. They forced him out because Easton was to take his place. SBu was demand crazy though, and that kind of "actor" bugs the hell out of me. I'd love to see Easton gone. If Todd could bury John alive, I'd love him forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 I've heard the same thing. If Burton had just been more patient he might've saved himself a lot of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 I feel so sorry for Y&R and its fans. My condolences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 Other than Todd (only because Howarth is surprisingly the only man to make Laura Wright seem less asexual on GH), I just laugh at the hyperbole that OLTL characters have suddenly made GH better and saved it from cancellation. If the show tanks ratings-wise 6 months from now, will they be to blame too? Of course not. I want to know what exactly McBain and Starr have brought to the show in order to "save" it - I'm still waiting for a cohesive reason. I wouldn't be surprised if it was indeed true that Easton/McBain isn't testing well with GH audiences. I never thought he was anything special on OLTL, and solely protected there by Frons and Valentini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 LMFAO I believe EB just threw some shade This person was being snarky and tweeted this ScottyB @scooterbeanbag @EBraeden are you excited to be working with the one and only Steve Burton on Y&R now?!! Eric Braeden @EBraeden @scooterbeanbag I'm sorry, but who is he? I truly don't know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 He will fit right in at today's Y&R. There will be blood on the walls. See above. Geez. Braeden isn't even pretending. And if he thinks that's bad wait until he meets Stafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'd love to read a new interview with Burton and how he's going to explain this, since he went on his "goodbye tour" talking about wanting to live fully in Nashville.

Members DRW50 Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 If your reason for appeal to GH viewers hinges on a show canceled ten years ago, then you aren't going to have a great chance. I think KA did or does have a following with young girls, but the writing has been horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 I don't think Easton's appeal or lack thereof is based on PC. Granted, I think that RC tried to leverage it but it's not like we're talking about Jesse and Angie here. Nostalgia will only go so far. I think Howarth, Easton and KA all have devoted fanbases but IMO whether or not those fanbases have made any difference in GH's ratings is subjective and unprovable. I'm willing to bet that Burton's fanbase is every bit as large and/or devoted as those others. I think GH has benefited from the time change and the returns much more than the OLTLivers. Burton screwed himself by indulging his ego instead of biding his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
