Susan Lucci HATED -along with the entire cast- Charles Van Eman who played --Charlie--??I may be messing up his name and his character's name. He was a notorious bastard and was fired pretty quickly. This was around 1990 or so. This was the really young guy that they paired Erica with...

A certain once hot actor SB and AMC veteran was fired from AMC due to his addiction to 1-900- Sex lines..

Darnell Williams and Debbie Morgan supposedly tried to change the writers mind about making Angie pregnant out of wedlock. They felt as the only black supercouple at the time that they were role models to young black men and women and it was a betrayal for Angie to get pregnant.

John Beradino used to get so mad at other actors arriving late and being unprepared on GH that he would get mad and punch holes in the door to his office on the set (Dr. Steve hardy's door). They kept having to replace the prop door. The 3rd time that it happened they used a real oak door this time but didn't tell John. He went to punch the door and broke his hand.

TV evangelist Jerry Falwell got Dan Lauria fired from One Life To Live. Falwell didn't like Lauria's pimp character and complained to ABC. Gus was soon written out.

Supposedly, Hillary B. Smith and Colleen Zenk hated each other while playing Margo and Barbara on ATWT. This worked well, because their characters hated each other as well.

^I already knew about the one with Michael Park. But, everything else is new to me.

I posted the JB thing on DD. Credited you. I thought it was just too interesting not to share.

And, I know the character "Charlie" you're talking about. I've seen him on a few old episodes. Boring, boring, boring character. He was in the original *the first* falling pictures opening.

Oh this is not a rumor as Tony Geary stated this one. Gloria Monty used to allow him to film his love scenes nude.

AMC: Michael E. Knight was gay.

OLTL: Melissa Archer wouldn't re-sign her contract unless the show broke up John and Evangeline. That ABC didn't even try to re-sign Renee Goldsberry.

GH: Senait Ashenafi dated either Sean Kanan or Steve Burton. Maurice Benard's wife controls his romantic pairings. Tamara Braun left because she didn't want to be paired with Maurice again.

GH: JFP hired Jennifer Bransford against Brian Frons's wishes and that he hired Laura Wright behind her back. Neither Maurice Benard nor Natalia Livingston were happy with the (mercifully brief) Sonny/Emily pairing.

AMC: Ambyr Childers was fired because she refused to play love scenes with one of either Daniel Kennedy or Sterling Suleiman (the rumor on who the actor was keeps changing).

    • Jason and hemming and hawing about Sidwell taking over and being ruthless

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
    • I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.
