LOL! Ah, EB preparing for his own contract negotiations. His PR campaign did not work the first time and won't the next.

I kind of hope a replacement is announced soon now, if only to piss some folks off....

Yes soemoen said he is retweeting pots about needing to see more vets.

We don't want her here. You guys keep her!

We don't want her. Well at at least I don't.

And EB knows that if Michelle ain't getting what she wants, chances are he'll barely get what he wants, so he better go in there with some sense or join Redzilla in the unemployment line.

Stafford's comment kind of makes me wonder if she has heard they are definitely recasting. (personally I think the character needs a long rest, but oh well)

I dread the Braeden contract wars.

I think we're in a new era, if there is some sort of synergy with JFP and Sony (which clearly wasn't there with MAB and may not have been with LML either - no idea about Smith and Alden and the rest), one that some Y&R cast members were shielded from for a long time, and a lot of these actors are now getting a rude wakeup call.

I am both looking forward to and dreading any MTS wars, although she's probably better at this than anyone on Y&R, because she seems to have some serious, serious bad blood with Sony that took away the cushion certain cast members have.

MTS doesn't seem that thrilled about her lack of screen time.

@TVGMLogan @MelodyThomasSco I'd rather see Haystack Sex with Victor but I'll take anything that puts Nikki frontburner! #YR

@CarolynHinsey @TVGMLogan Why,TY,Miss Carolyn!I agree!Perhaps u should bend someone's ear...U have more pull than I do!U&me,drinks,Emmys,ON!

MTS does this every few months.

EB is now talking again about the yonug people taking his spot. He did the same thing back in the LML days when he thought like likes of JT, Colleen, etc were taking his spot.

Victor is a necessity but Victor is better supporting now then front burner controlling all his children and Nikki. At one point it was so bad that the only one Victor treated with respect was his dog(who I guess died in that fire Sharon set).

I thought that MTS was recurring. I did not think she had any contract issues in her future.

Considering that like MS, EB has been marginalized on the show, I bet he is worried.

MTS isn't recurring...there was a time when she was gone, but she's on contract.

Well, she better not play hardball and go with the minimum or she will be hitting the pavement looking for work too.

Phyllis has been recast:

I've really enjoyed Victor in the background but I would really love for Nikki to have a story again, she's had a good rest and its time for her to be back in the mix. But of all the vets, I NEED Jess Walton/Jill to be frontburner and while I don't think it will happen, this story w/ Cane will do.

I definitely don't think they should recast Phyllis either and not because I enjoyed the character for the majority of my time watching but there's just no point.

How long do these people expect to be frontburner honestly? It's been 30 goddamn years. 30 plus years of CONSTANT story. They can't handle 2 months of not being in every episode. A few weeks where their names aren't on everyone's lips.

I could understand if they went years without story but man, Eric Braeden has never not had a frontburner story. Even when he's not on everyday everyone is talking about him.
