Y&R: TMZ reporting on Michael Muhney


Recommended Posts

EB is entitled to his opinion and he's earned his damn place on the show....not sure why people are finding it hard to believe that he doesn't remember the actress's name. I mean in the grand scheme of things she's a very very very small factor in the world of acting... People have been using HK or HHK or something as if she's that well know which perplexes me. Anyways I think anyone with common sense would never take the 10 year portion of that interview seriously.

Michael M. was clearly nothing but an annoyance to EB and he's clearly glad to be rid of him. In short the interview is hilarious

Reading this Jerry Douglas article. :wub: Jerry calling it like it is, in the simplest, clearest terms, without getting belligerent or het up.

I *LOVE* how he said that MM paid him loads of compliments and tried to kiss up to him, but when JD saw the way he blew up and harangued EB in the middle of scenes, He Knew He was Trouble. Because MM was being unprofessional. Period.

The zinger was the comment about remembering that acting is just make-believe.

Dear GOD, those comments. From the desperately in denial (OMG he didn't actually say that MM was the one who groped HK!!!!!) to the threatening (Y&R is going to crumble from all the viewers who will leave the show once MM leaves! They better rehire him and issue an apology!) to the JFP-haters (JFP is obviously threatening people with their jobs and forcing them to come out and show HK support), that is just a hot mess o' crazy.

Am I reading this right? That Nelson Branco stated in his latest fanzine that the groping never happened and CBS made those allegations up?! WTF?! Please somebody tell me that NB didn't.

Well I think the cast are officially done.

@kristoffstjohn1 17s @michaelmuhney Please set the record straight, for those of us that have to take the abuse from the fans. It's hard to watch and read. #Bro

They are even now retweeting comments that aren't exactly flattering to MM and getting less subtle in their defenses of HK. I really think all the MM stans attacking them nonstop has killed any tact and respect they had for MM. At first I think they wanted to stay out of it but after that Ben Franklin quote rallied the troops, it was over.

I don't think they realize the more that attack the worse MM looks because his own castmates aren't defending him. They should stop and think about that.

I would be surprised if he says "sets the record straight" as he has yet to do so. At least give HK some piece of mind.

But even if he was to come out and say it was his fault, some of his fans still wouldn't accept that and still would want him back on the show.

EB's interview - he's always a fascinating read. Interesting that MM apologized. Perhaps, he really believed he was invincible and needed a big kick in the butt. If the allegations are true, I still feel truly sad for HK because as the victim, she should have her right to privacy instead of being publicly exposed. What happened to protecting the victim? Once again, if true, wouldn't it have been enough to just say that MM did something inappropriate to another cast member without revealing her identity? It's just bizarre. It makes me wonder why Sony/CBS wouldn't nip this in the bud for a number of reasons. The person who "outed" her is just as much a predator.

Exactly.

Right now, these fans are taking the support YR, Sony and the current actors of the soap are displaying for HKK as an negative act towards them as fans.

They have somehow become the "victim" in having their feelings hurt in wanting to have "their cause" be belittled so publicly.

It's just more craziness being displayed.

    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
