The Young and The Restless Shocker: - Actress Leaving

[Soapsuds]

Both were....

Michelle Stafford leaving is not "disaster" or a PR nightmare.

[Darn]

No, your post was an attack on the energy of an 84 year old woman in the last years of her life. Vee's was a comment on ridiculous you sounded.

She's choosing to leave because TPTB won't give her what she wants.

And it's a PR disaster because it's given the anti-JFP psychos even more reason to hate on the show.

Ha, I love watching the Stafford fans have their collective nervous breakdown. Sony/CBS/JFP have no regrets. it is obvious that they all wanted MS gone. I don't even buy that she is leaving on her own accord, rather I think that they slickly fired her and shoved her out of the door.

The reply feature really has become a piece of [!@#$%^&*].

[ChitHappens]

Correction: They didn't give MS what she thought she was entitled to.

[y&r_fan]

Yes.

That's totally what happened.

[Vee]

Like dozens upon dozens of actors on soaps every day for 50 years or more. She's not that special or important.

[y&r_fan]

Whatever you want to call it, they should've given it to her.

I seriously doubt that people are going to blame JFP for Michelle leaving. Again, Michelle is choosing to go. This ain't no Beverly McKinsey type situation circa 91/92 (on Guiding Light) where we're losing great Dame of daytime. Michelle delivers but her leaving ain't generating no disaster for Y&R.

[ChitHappens]

I don't agree, but I respect your right to feel that way. We all have our favorites

[frequentsoapfan]

JFP doesn't give a damn about haters.

[full hearts]

MS leaving is not a PR nightmare. She left before the show was just fine. Avery has already taken over her sceentime.

[Ann_SS]

Stafford clearly did not believe JFP's rep and paid no attention to what happened to CK when she tried to play hard ball. I bet the Y&R cast is taking note for when their contract negotiations come up.

[y&r_fan]

Thank you.

She wasn't a lead then. She was a peripheral villain.
