It would be one thing if these people were A-List megstars; then they might get away with more. But it's not 2004 anymore, let alone 1994, even in soaps. These days Robert Kelker-Kelly gets a couple days of work and then goes back to repairing jet planes in Middle America.

Usually it is true that women pay the price in any kind of sexual Hollywood scandal, but MM and Daytime is so marginalized and powerless that if HK has a change at a prime time or movie future, I think she will be fine. However, I don't think that she is particularly talented.

Exactly, I read about the KB harassment rumors before he joined Y&R. He also wrote fan fic with his character and Veronica having a romance. He tried to get the producers to do the romance on the show, but they were not having it.

Mel is never going to be back again on that level, IMO. Never. He'll get a couple character parts here, maybe even in a couple big films, and there but never anything too serious. Expendables III is about his upper limit these days. Even if audiences take pity on him in those supporting parts he's always going to carry that taint in a major way. He will never be Mel Gibson again. Robert Downey, Jr. came back from substance abuse issues because he was incredibly talented and hardworking, but Mel's issues are far more insidious. It's a shame because he is/was very talented, but he's nuts.

He was a regular on TWOP during the VM days and he pandered to a fanbase online. He apparently tried his hand at writing fanfiction, IIRC; one of my exes knew more about him and VM than I did, as I never watched it.

It's no different today - if an actor or a creative or a webseries or whatever else makes the soap blogosphere - or any online fandom anywhere - feel important and included, they will lavish praise upon them and forgive almost anything. Muhney charmed people but he wasn't the first or the last. But some actors eventually make themselves untouchable and I am fairly sure MM has now.

I hope that this MM debacle is the last time that we hear from Branco for a good long time. He has embarrassed himself even more than usual with this MM debacle. He either did not know the truth or did not care. In either case, MM made a huge fool out of him. I bet the Huffington Post will think twice before buying another article from him.

I think he knew and didn't care. He hoped he could spin it. Branco is that nuts.

Whether or not some of his contemporaries will reexamine themselves and their behavior - and their friendship with him - is another question.

I thought he was miscast. He would have been better as Ricky Williams, instead of that guy I only remember because he was a singing waiter or whatever.

Considering they were dumb enough to give him a platform after the TV Guide fiasco with Kristian Alfonso, I'm sure they'll do it again. Their site tends to have some of the most vapid material around.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By janea4old · Posted

      Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.

      I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.

      Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.

      Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?

      We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too

      We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.

      You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

      Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
