Members Vee Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 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.

Members Ann_SS Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 Some of the worst acting and dialogue to ever appear in any genre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR5ANxFrzkg How did this guy develop a rabid fanbase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 Because he reached out to fans and fed into their pathology of deluding themselves into believing that they know him and have a connection to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 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.

Members DRW50 Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 Ugh. Remember when that story was hyped as shocking and daring? That whole scene creeped me the hell out, especially since they cast such a pouty twink as Rafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 I thought that guy was really cute. They wasted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 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.

Members BetterForgotten Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yes, I remember getting into it with MarkH and Cashton, neither of whom posts here anymore, numerous times back then over it. Mark in particular defended the hell out of this until he couldn't anymore and saw what a travesty it really was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted January 4, 2014 Members Share Posted January 4, 2014 Read the comments section of teh TMZ article. Supposedly, MM sister has responded to the article and denies the accusations. She says he was fired after learning that he was the driver that killed Delia and the actor spoke up.
