According to Michael Bruno on SoapBox DT was the last to know and Bruno said many at Y&R knew he was being replaced before he did. What [!@#$%^&*][!@#$%^&*]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Billy supposed to be younger than Kelly, Stitch and Victoria?

Yes, there is no way being older than Kelly is the real reason he was let go. NO way.

IA. I don't buy the he-looked-too-young rationale either. Billy Miller looked too damn young next to Cynthia Watros, too.

I just keep coming back to the same conclusion: DT was fired, b/c SONY won't budge on Billy and Victoria as end-game.

Ew at Michael Bruno.

"Same" about Bruno, Carl, lol. But it wouldn't surprise me if DT actually was the last one at Y&R to know about his firing. The poor lad never stood a chance.

I believe Bruno reps AH but even Bruno said that something to the affect that YR could have had more class when letting DT go and that he should have been the FIRST to know.

Y'all are insane. They were never going to recast Victoria in this situation. Villy is obviously endgame. DT and AH didn't work. Recasting Victoria would mean BOTH halves of this couple would be a recast and they were never going to do that. Not saying I agree with the firing but the idea that AH should have been fired to make Villy work is just plain ludicrous. Fans have a hard enough time accepting one half of a couple being recast. To recast Vic with someone who has chemistry with DT, who is ALSO a recast, would never in a million years happen.

I'm not sure that Bacteria worked that well with Miller around either. Casting roles based solely on how they fit a prefab couple is a bad idea. I imagine Gina Tognoni will not mesh well with the perpetual frat boy Morrow, so if "Phick" fans start demanding her firing, will the show cave?

Bacteria didn't work on Y&R I agree. Their initial coupling was interesting, but their storylines were always such a downer. A lot of baby drama and strife. That's why I can't believe the first story this new regime is doing is ANOTHER baby story for Victoria.

Yeah by 10 years

Wouldn't be surprised same goes for the new Adam

So what happens if JT or Mac ever return? How can Mac be Billy's high school sweetheart if he's so much older than her? And this new guy not only is in his 40s, but he looks old. The old Mac they could bring back is Clementine Ford because she looked so old.

Well i dont feel burgess will be around that long. A year tops

I agree. I don't see him being the big savior, but much like Steve Burton, they will try whatever it takes to make him happen for as long as he's around.

This new one now looks 10 years older than the age group he's supposed to fit in, and 20 years older than DT, IMO.
