I should make it clear that my initial exchange with Carl was about the reactions on this board when Muhney was hired and when Engen was fired. It wasn't an attempt to knock Mark or any former poster, more of a discussion about Muhney and the circumstances that brought him into the show and why many in the press (like Nelson) have used that initial hype to continue to protect Muhney's perverted ass.

Like it or not, Mark was a huge part of the discussion back then on that particular topic (and the terrible Adam/Rafe story) on this board, so it was more of a recap of history on this board from my perspective, not to knock Mark down personally. I have nothing against Mark and the few times we corresponded directly via DM, he was always cordial to me. We strongly disagreed with Y&R often, and I acknowledged that was probably one of the reasons he no longer wants to post among us, but I don't think anyone was ripping into him at all for vindictive reasons.

I wasn't talking about that as I get that. I'm talking about when someone said she should have fired him when she was still in charge since he was that way while she was there when there is no proof that he was.

It took years of complaining by women on the show but producers of The Young And The Restless finally had enough of Michael Muhney and fired him. The actor, who plays Adam Newman on the soap is the answer to a lot of my blind items and Soap Suds blind items. For years he has been harassing women and groping them and pressuring them and doing everything he could to make them uncomfortable. According to TMZ, the thing that finally got him fired is that Hunter King who plays Summer was going to sue the show and the producers and Michael and anyone else she could think of if they didn't fire him. She says that he repeatedly fondled her breasts and she was over it and going to quit and sue. There is no way the producers want a line of women to come forward so they fired the guy. Michael is married and has three children.

I'm at a loss. If some perv grabbed my penis on the job I would fully expect that person to have just worked his or her last day. I would raise all types of hell and sweep every last stapler, paper weight, and family picture off my boss's desk until sh!t got done. If it is true that this man had repeated reported incidents of sexual harassment, it is (in my best Victoria Lord) *UHtuhlih uhPAWLing* that he lasted as long as he did.

That is an astute prediction. The other question is this.. will OTHER shows pick this up, The View... Wendy Williams.... will TMZ put this on air, as opposed to just their website? Does it rate that high on their radar? This seems like the type of story that would Make Wendy's mouth water.

DaytimeFan may very well be correct. Honestly, I think the "size" of this story would be the greatest factor in TT's choice to discuss it or not. Taking time to give tribute to a CBS daytime legend like Jeanne Cooper is one thing, but spending minutes on MM discussion is iffy to me. Of course the fact that large media outlets have covered the story is not to be ignored, but then again, slow entertainment news weekend? To be fair, a lot of TT viewers are probably also Y&R/B&B viewers who would at least give a damn.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
