I am sure MM is delighted with all the drama. He knew very well that ADAM's exit would not upset people that much, so he created all this and got EB (everytime I see his tweets I am reading them in a Victor voice in my head) and MW involved. Next!

His stand are attacking all the cast members on twitter. MTS spoke out too about their being more to the story because she was getting attacked.

This thread is epic. I can just hear the old Days promo. Miss a day, miss a lot

Happy Hanukah Anne

I still found the drama surrounding CE's leaving of the role more compelling.

It can't be that major, because if he harassed anyone or threatened anyone, he would be terminated immediately and wouldn't be given the opportunity to remain on set for the next 3 days; he would be too much of a liability for Sony and CBS.

I'm sure policies have changed since then but I can remember doing contract work at a TV show and there was an employee who had a sexual harrassment case pending and was still allowed to work there, while the case was being investigated. I don't know what resolution came out of it because when my contract period was up I moved on (it was the shi**tiest job I've ever had).

If it is a conduct/behavioral issue that is a he said/she said or he said/he said issue, it's difficult to say whether the action would be immediate.

Yes! I've had to backtrack and read to get caught up. I'm not going to lie, I've skimmed a few ranting posts and skipped others completely but it's mostly been riveting.

I have never been upset like some about a character/actor leaving, so I'm trying to understand the psychology behind all the hand wringing. I remember one year when I was a kid, 3 of my favorite actors left ATWT in the space of a few months. I didn't like it but I don't ever remember getting upset the way some are over this-- and I was pre-pubescent!

I think the internet has had a hand in making people get more upset about these things. People have fan boards and couples boards and things escalate to the next level sometimes.

Back in the day, we'd see a new face, do a double take and move on. The internet played a huge role in the destruction of soaps!

sorry but I just read this and now DEAD

thanks!

Right. I was a kid when Terry Lester was fired and I do remember being sad about that, but for the most part I didn't think much about most of the recasts on daytime until the net. Even now, I'm interested in the drama, but I can't say that I'm truly upset about any of the changes at Y&R this year and I liked most of the actors/characters that left or were fired.

But I swear even about 8 years ago it still wasn't this bad. From about 09 and forward I've seen people acting downright crazy when someone gets fired or leaves a soap.

Because of the internet there are no secrets in soaps anymore. Everything is outed before hand.

I remember Hearing about Sean Kanan may have to be replaced on GH in 97 then the next day there was Billy warlock and that was a surprise since his casting wasnt spoiled. I miss those days a lot

There is a lot of [!@#$%^&*] being placed at the door of some of the actors (Muhney included) and I personally think that crazy bloggers (side-eyes you-know-who) and fans have been pouring over MM's every last word in his Huff Post interview and jumping on anything to try and blame somebody, ANYBODY, for their darling boy getting fired. I re-read the bit about Eric Braeden, and whether he was involved with MM's firing. MM deflects the question completely; instead he uses MW as an example of how he would like to go out on his final days on set -- with grace and dignity. Then he says that any disagreements he ever had with EB are in the past.

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. She had the most dignified walk down The Green Mile that I've ever seen [when she was fired from "Y&R," too]. In her final days, when her character was dead woman walking, she held her head up high and was classy and professional right until the end. I plan on doing the same thing with everyone I've worked with on the show. I'll apologize for when my character bled into my real life at times and if I was intense a few times. But I'll let everyone know how blessed and honoured I was that I got to work with them all. I got to be an actor in a land where you can play dress-up and pretend with a collective group of other talented actors. I'm going to take Maura's lead. If there were disagreements in the past with Eric, for me, it has to be history.

I don't know if you can infer from THAT ^^ that EB got MW fired because she wouldn't put out! Even MM is not that talented a conversationalist.

The stans have gone after JFP for this... then when MM defended JFP in his interview, they went after Doug Davidson (after You-Know-Who told them to) and Steve Burton... then Eric Braeden... they are just trawling through the Y&R cast, past and present, just to find someone they can blame for this. Josh Morrow will probably be next. Because he must have been jealous!!!!

I hope MM is able to distance himself from some of these people. He needs some time to lick his wounds and keep his head down, methinks.

I think Nelson re-releasing that blind item AND asking MM specifically about Braeden so that he could say what he did about MW was in no way a coincidence. Perhaps it was even planned with MM. But I am glad Maura spoke out about it.

I am so annoyed by all the bloggers and website owners saying "there is more to it", inferring they know what happened, and yet not saying what it is. It's like "I know something you don't know. Na na na na na na!"

Spill it or stfu.

JMO.

When Ilene Kristen left RH and Randal Edwards appeared, I immediately thought, "hey, that's not my Delia". But I ended up loving her more, if for no other reason, RE didn't look like she needed to bathe.

Oh, and I love PB more than I ever cared about TL.

Daytime dramas are a producers medium. The shows that allow the actors to control stories, casting etc, need a wake up call. I know not everyone likes Valentini but he doesnt allow shot at GH. We need more of that. Writers and producers like Monty, Riche, Raych, and Marland who didnt suffer fools gladly. These shows need to take the control back and tell certain actors if U dont like how its run here, the dooe is right there, Use it!!!

TL's exit wasnt big news in the mags then? I know he had stated before his death, he left cause he didnt like tht Bell was letting the teen scene take over the show

NB is back tracking
