I saw someone saying the show is going to lose half their ratings next week because of boycotts.

I wish someone would tell them that the whole boycott JFP thing has been tried before and failed miserably. And I say this as someone who "boycotted" her work out of principle for over a decade.


It's embarrassing seeing people essentially argue over which overrated airhog caused the most trending when Y&R told them to hit bricks.

I think about all the talented people who have been fired from this show and nobody cared.

And I can't take anymore of people saying they will cry for Bill Bell. If you want to cry for Bill, cry over his daughter-in-law making a fool of herself for three years.

The industry/soap fans not be respected has absolutely nothing to do with some folks being pleased about Muhney being fired. Please do not try to make this situation more important than it really is.

An actor got fired. We don't know what exactly caused his situation yet, but we will soon enough.

Frank Valentini has hired all sorts of people and/or dealt with big egos and kept them in line, often to my surprise. I think the bigger issue is what would inevitably result between Muhney and Carlivati. I can see them doing it, but I can't see it ending well.

Thank you for pointing out that actors are employed for doing their jobs, just like any other person. If a plumber, mechanic, accountant, sous chef went on to have public rants about their fellow employees, bosses and places of business and it got back to their employer, they would have a serious problem.

Just because these folks are actors and they have a "huge/focal" fanbase, doesn't mean that they can do or say whatever they want and not have to deal with the results.

Muhney is a talented performer, but he lost perspective about his "importance" to TPTB. Anybody can be fired. People have to remember that part, especially when he's not calling the shots.

What does GH have to do with MM? Are people speculating that he will be hired there?

Whoever is bringing up Bill Bell is ignorant. He fired Terry Lester without a second thought for righting point that nepotism was the reason that talentless Christine Bell was being down our throats. Lester was far more popular than MM is now and Bell did not give a flying f'ck. Bell fired loads of actors in his time and got on with it.,

If Michael Muhney could've gotten another primetime gig after VM fired him and before and after Y&R took him on I think he would have done it. I suspect his reputation precedes him. If he goes anywhere in a lasting capacity, IMO, it will be on daytime.

Muhney on GH as a snarky new Quartermaine family member. Miller on GH as Ava's OTHER half-brother who establishes his own town gossip rag a la Restless Style. Well, it COULD happen. I've never had any vested interest in Muhney or Miller, but I do find them both talented enough to contribute elsewhere.

Those both sound like horrible ideas to me. I'd rather see them use the players they have (A.J.), or past characters. There's a few existing characters you could slot those two into, but honestly I just don't think they'd work on the show.

    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned that, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
    • Oh Lord! They don't dare put her near Jacob. 
    • And knowing Hayley she’d somehow feel like she was the victim

    • So not only did Hayley steal her daddy, but now you want Hayley to steal Naomi's husband? LOL.
    • Omg

    • '92. I was looking for when Vanessa called Billy a sonofabitch. Then I got sucked into '92 and got rewarded by finding Vanessa and Mo getting sloshed. (3/6/92, I believe). Then the Blackout...lol, and just kept falling down the rabbit hole. This is lateOct/earlyNov. I couldn't believe my ears!  Reva's marriage to Billy was before they came to town. But yeah... Maybe it was Harley and Gus that CarJack lost to later. thanks! Thanks @Paul Raven  this is a fascinating read. 
    • I just have this feeling Bill and Leslie about to be the next big thing. Not sure what that means for Hayley but if they want to be messy they could put her in Jacob's orbit. They had a bit of chemistry during their scene at Orphey Gene's a few months back.
