Y&R: TMZ reporting on Michael Muhney

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.

    • The thing with Martin (for me) is that he should have been Anita and Vernon's kid. I honestly think he would have been fine being an older or younger brother to Dani and Nicole. It also would have made his relationship and kids feel more realistic. A handsome salt and pepper late 40s/early 50s congressman who settled down and adopted kids to fit an image for politics. Not that he didn't want this lifestyle but it is what he needed to do to get ahead. Also, we don't often get older characters playing LGBT roles not just on daytime but across most media. It would have been a refreshing take. As an alternative, Sam and Ty could have been Martin's kids from an earlier marriage a la the NJ governor that was outed. We could have also seen parallels between Vernon and Anita thinking back to how they handled Martin coming out compared to the way they accepted Chelsea.  As for Martin being Nicole and Ted's kid, I do wish in this case he was not tied to a marriage and kids, so that he could date and sleep around like any other character on a soap.  Yeah, I didn't get it...but what I did get is that girl is a bit crazy like her mama.  Vanessa and Joey talking about the poker table...get these people off my screen.

    • Unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show should have reunited Billy/Vanessa at all until the final stretch of the show. When watching the 1989 episodes when both Vanessa and Billy return after being off the show... I liked that Vanessa had moved on from him and that the show was hinting at her wanting to reunite with her first love Ross while looking down at Nadine for being the one Ross was dating.  And I loved the twist where Billy and Nadine teamed up to keep Vanessa/Ross apart.   This was an interesting concept that sadly the writers dropped with the show deciding to make Vanessa pine over Billy between 1990 and 1993 when they finally reunited.   To me, Vanessa pining over Billy seemed out of character. At least once Billy was carted off to prison in 1994... she and Billy divorced and stayed divorced until the final months when they finally found their way back together.  During the years when they were divorced, I liked that they had maintained a friendship and connection.. with viewers (like my late mom) wondering if they would ever decide to make it work again. I wish the show had tried that with Josh/Reva because by the time of the final episode when they rode off into the sunset, I didn't care because we'd been through the make up and break ups between them for over 10+ years by that point.
    • I break down the primetime soap era (start of Dallas to end of Knots Landing) as  Up to Spring 1982: Building the foundation. Fall 1982-Spring 1985: Peak. Fall 1985-Spring 1988: Tanking. Fall 1988 onward: Off the rails plus budget mode. Of course individual shows vary and I've broken down each show in their threads.
    • I’m ready for Portia and Curtis to divorce and get it over with. Portia cheating with Isaiah would make for a fun love quadrangle with Jordan.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this
