The Young and The Restless Shocker: - Actress Leaving

[Ann_SS]

It is probably denial, but I don't think that they are recasting. I think Phyllis will go off to be with Daniel and Lucy and that is the end of that.

Btw, Beautiful Great Dane above.

I don't think they are recasting either. They don't have much use for Phyllis and they already have a mini her in Summer.

Thank you! I named him Maximus. Not mine! Pulled the pic off the web and thought it was one of the most beautiful animals I'd ever scene!

Bye Red don't let the door hit you on that way out!

LOL, if I can't be honest on this board, where I have posted for years, and with a computer screen for protection, then when can I be honest?

I edited a small portion out of my previous post and that is to say that I think Phyllis and Michelle Stafford are practically one and the same in Ms's mind, too (I deleted it because I felt I was reaching here -- I have no evidence to back this up, it is just a feeling I have). As far as MS is concerned, some of her "Like, OMG you guys! Rad!" persona off screen rubs me the wrong way, and I'm not quite sure why. Maybe because I feel like it's a little fake, a little put-on. Though I am willing to concede that if we met IRL, I'd probably leave thinking we are now BFFs and she was amazing. I know that if I met Laura Wright IRL, my view on her Carly might change.

My issue with MS has always been the backstage politicking, to the detriment of the show. And while I don't think MS is in the writing room dictating what goes on the page, I think she can leverage her popularity like any smart actor in this game can and benefit from it when it suits her. Y&R lets this [!@#$%^&*] happen.

I'll admit, the 'religion' to which she subscribes sets warning bells in my head. Sorry, I'm usually a live-and-let-live person when it comes to personal things like that but I can't get past the person/people running that organization.

And spitting on VR is unconscionable. A firing offense in ANY workplace. Can you imagine if any one of us pulled this ish at, say, a local acting class we were attending in our neighborhood? Or, god forbid, spitting on your co-worker at work?! And that co-worker going to upper management and saying 'I am not OK with this behavior' and Upper Mgmt saying 'Well, if you don't like it, the door's over there. We value Spitting Co-Worker and her work here!' The more I think about it, the more wound up I get about it. But I have to admit that there is an opposing emotion in me when I watch Phyllis -- maybe because of this reputation MS drags behind her -- and I am kind of compelled to watch.

By the way, MS just confirmed it:

JFP will slowly deconstruct the show and transform it into 90210 GH 2.0

YR has done well because the cast stays do stable. Also, Avery can not play lead and SC is too damaged. I just don't see Chelsea filling the void in the 30-40 set.

Lol I've never seen you post a gif before.

Par-tee time! I am celebrating like it is 1999!
