The stans have already proven that facts don't matter. As for me, I don't need to forgive him. I was onboard when MM came to YR, but when Sham happened, I hated it. That's fine, but what pissed me off was MM's attitude towards Sharon fans and those who didn't like the pairing. It never got better. He's been a jerk from day one.

Those are pretty pertinent points, and I cannot say I disagree with any of them. I thought MM was ok as Adam (depending on the material) even though I really liked Chris Engen and his Little Boy Lost side. I will even say that I am impressed by MM's exit interview. He took most of the blame of his dismissal on himself. We can say that he was lying but I think he has been dealt a huge blow. I also believe him when he talks about loving the medium.

With that said, he is flawed, and his flaws got him fired. Calling your castmates C U Next Tuesdays (and meanIing it) is not acceptable in any work environment!. MM went pretty far a number of times on Twitter and Sony/CBS (not JFP who I think wanted him to stay) were just looking for a good moment to can him.

Still, the hysteria has got to stop. The show can and will go on. There are actors on the show who would leave a hole in the canvas if they left. MTS, for a start.

I really disagree with the notion that retweeting what someone wrote is the same as saying it yourself. I'm also not saying it's wise. But it's not like MM went into work and called his cast-mates the "C" word. He's not the one that wrote that and, yes, I think that matters, when it's all over the net that he is the one that said it, when that is not the case.

I really don't think that's why. People come pretty hard after Cartini and they are guys. Plenty of male writers and producers have been ripped to shreds by fans, whether or not they really had it coming. I also think Jill can take the heat and does not give one single f*ck.

Mostly think the shock is wearing off, especially after we've had many people including MM say this isn't about JFP.

I'd say the canvas is in taters, so I'm not sure it matters who leaves at this point. I don't feel like that because of MM. He's just one more. I really feel disconnected to Y&R because of all of the comings and goings recently, even if I think some of the additions are good. I hope it stabilizes soon.

Agreeing is not the same thing as saying it yourself. This isn't even a MM issue to me. I just wouldn't want any comment attributed directly to me because I retweeted it. It simply is not the same thing.

That interview was a surprise.

Muhney actually came

He actually came across as an adult and actor for once. I would have a lot more respect for him if he had realised sooner that sometimes less is more.

3-6 months no Adam. Sounds good. I wouldn't be surprised if the character joins Phyllis on a prolonged sidelines status.

    • I'm more than convinced she's a relative of Hayley after seeing this.

      The resemblance is too uncanny.  Now if they can just persuade Debbi Morgan to play their mom we've hit the motherload.
    • It's hard to say about MBE's following.  Katherine was a mess from the start and diametrically opposite of Kayla.  Both Nina and Ava were messes too, but the material was more in their wheelhouse.  Plus, both came frome cancelled shows so that was the only option for their fans.
    • As limited as the actor who plays Tomas is, after today, I'm really excited to see the Eva/Tomas/Kat triangle pick up some speed. And, I was thinking that I wasn't gonna have to resurrect this hashtag, but yeah #FreeSmitty

    • ICAM.  KL needed to end in '93.  I'm just glad David Jacobs resisted CBS' efforts to convince him otherwise.

    • Dear Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford,   Please write out the character of Leo Stark. It would be greatly appreciated.   Sincerely, Soapsuds
    • Oh my -- long time ago, huh??  What was the actual storyline? Here's what I recall: Susan was married to David Martin and had his baby, Dickie.  David allowed Dickie to fall off a swing-set or something, and Dickie was killed.  So a distraught Susan shot and killed David.  Julie had been having sex with David Martin, and was pregnant with his child when Susan killed him.  Then Julie named her newborn child David.  And that was really what began the big feud between Susan and Julie.  I KNOW I have a lot of this history wrong -- so anyone please feel free to correct my historical errors.  I would appreciate that very much.   Now back to Denise's Another World connection.  Although I loved Denise as an actress, I was never crazy about Mary McKinnon.  Mostly because of her completely unbelievable introduction -- two back-from-the-dead characters returning in the SAME storyline. It seemed ridiculous, and was just a bit too much for me to accept.

    • Denise had so much inherent warmth, yet also layered her work with neuroses and emotion, making sure her characters were never as one-dimensional as the writing could have been. She was one of the first high profile poachings from one soap to another, which could have been a recipe for disaster, but she worked hard and turned Lesley into such an integral part of GH's rebuilding. The show may not have survived the '70s without her.  I wish they'd done more with Lesley when they brought her back in 1996. I hope more of Denise's run at DAYS will appear. I enjoyed Denise's work on AW, in a very underwritten part - it felt like she was just hitting her stride in playing the role when she left.  We are losing so many of our legends, but in moments like this I try to just be grateful we had them for as long as we did.  I do feel terrible for those at GH as they've been hit hard the last few years.
