It could have just been him speaking out. SONY has a huge part in YR & Days and Steve Kent dont play. Plus he's all money. I doubt he cares if any actor is a fave. He will do what he feels best for his shows

I just wanna find out what caused him to get fired. If Sony and not JFP did it. It was definitely something bad.

"Part of me feels this is because I've always been outspoken, and sometimes I've been too outspoken. Sometimes I've walked around with a big backpack full of hubris. That is entirely on me. CBS, Sony, and Jill Phelps are not to blame for that."

And this was my favorite question and answer

It's no secret that you and your co-star Eric Braeden [Victor Newman] have had your differences. Was he involved in your firing?

I do know one thing for sure: I really look up to and respect my friend, [Emmy-winning "General Hospital" star] Maura West.

Oh, so it was because of something he said.

Well, at least he's taking responsibility and not trying to pass the buck.

I see some people pushing for Billy Miller as Lucky.

And I thought I hated Lucky.

This whole idea that GH needs to snap up Miller and Muhney, to show who's boss, is the exact type of sinkhole Y&R was in during the MAB years.

If people want even more pink-eyed hams on GH, good for them, but I don't.

They're not plastic and Fordlike enough for Cartooni and Frank. All their new hires are muscle men with modeling backgrounds.

No, that's b.s.

I gave my OPINION. I didn't tell you how to feel or express yourself. And judging my credibility because I said the trashing of Muhney has gone too far? That's ridiculous.

Try again.

Your beating a dead horse here. I have come to realize that if U see MM's side in this thread your made fun of and told to stop it. Thought these antics ceased after High School? Guess Not!!!

I haven't chimed in on this, but I like MM and I like the character of Adam, and I like Y&R as a whole. Don't discuss it much on the message boards and I think that's part of what makes it still enjoyable for me. I'm sort of stunned by the reaction here. I vaguely recall almost universal love for MM when he took over the role after his predecessor walked in the middle of a story-line, and I haven't paid attention to what MM has said or tweeted or any BTS "stuff". So maybe that's it.

I'm very curious about the recast.

Kristioff st John better not speak out against JFP he will find himself out the door. Jill is a cutthroat woman. She is all about making brutal decisions. I think Maria bell never made them because she wanted everyone to like her. Maria was never even in the studio often she was on vacation or with her socidlite friends. I will give Jill some credit she produces the show and is there. Those segments she did for Delia's story she was there toll 5 am in the morning. Jill just isn't a nice woman when u cross her.

Your heros have been just as brutal and cutthroat and you applaud them daily.

Speaking out and going on a social network [where a CBS is present] to whine because your co-workers don't get your wonderfulness are 2 totally different things! Favoriting tweets that call your co-workers ***** was absolutely ridiculous! MM wasn't speaking for "the people", he was sour because nobody "gets him".

@MichaelFairman More to it? What? Sexual misconduct? Fighting? Insubordination? Drugs? I DON'T CARE! Unless he killed someone & even then...

Is it wrong of me to want to hit this person with a large rock?

I do wonder if the recast will be right away or as MM said JFO said 3-6 months down the line???

Yep!

I think Adam will go to jail and return with a new face.

I don't watch Y&R but always found MM interesting and willing to say some pretty on point things. A few years back there was a video of him at some fan event where he is saying Y&R fans don't turn on their show to watch GH. He was right, and the show was importing a bunch of GH stars at the time. He said another time the show needed to be trimmed, and that was no different than what gets said by the fans all the time on the board. His thoughts on the daytime emmys were good too I felt. How many times can the emmys nominate the same 8 geriatrics and at this point does anyone really think Tony Geary turns in the best work year in and year out?

Agree and If [!@#$%^&*] like this got SONY to fire them then they are too [!@#$%^&*] sensitive

Ugh Nelson is trashing YR actors, he's saying Doug Davidson is violent

It's not just SONY. It's professionalism and no executive wants or needs anyone making them look bad. An ex co-worker a few years ago lost his job because of what he posted on Facebook about the company. They were slick about it because he didn't break any rules, but everyone knew the termination was for that reason.

What if Michael Muhney was coming to work under the influence or there was some type of sexual harassment, would fans still support it? Would u forgive him for that kind of behavior or would u understand?

Robin Christopher will debut as post-op Adam Newman (now going by "Addie") this June.
