Members ajsp35801 Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 DT took this job months ago. I don't understand why he didn't get a personal trainer right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Jesus hes not fat, hes just not male model look and there is nothing wrong there. The attitude that he must look like a male model and get a personal trainer is the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm not a Heather Tom fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I'd love for her to return to Victoria Newman just to stick it to bitch AH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Aww hell f*cking naw! I take my ass to bed for a few hours and find out that they fired my man on my birthday! This is a straight up tragedy! Fire that Ricky the Racoon looking ass tramp, AH! Not David Tom! Let me take a breather because I feel like I'm losing divo points.

Members ajsp35801 Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Call it whatever you want, but if those in charge do no tolerate out of shape women then I will not tolerate men with beer guts! Sorry not sorry. I am not saying that DT needed to look like a male model. I am saying that his arms shouldn't look like a 55 year old woman's nor should his stomach stick out further than his chest.

Members JONNYSBRO Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Heather again is happy at B and B. Amelia isn't going anywhere she is in year 10 at y and r with an Emmy nod. She's fantastic. Amelia I have heard is the sweetest girl heck even Victoria Rowell called her an angel. It was JFP who probably did this. I think it was a CBS decision to rehire David Tom but hes not the type Jill usually goes for. Smart she recast with a primetime vet remember MM was a primetime vet. Jill adored billy and I am sure BM was asked to come back but declined. Also I think Gina will be excellent as Phyllis unfortunately I think cady is a bit miscast as Kelly. I don't see cady as JFP choice either as Cynthia was Jills choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 She floundered for years as a B-level character until people who were desperate for Filler Miller to have a popular pairing started pushing Billy/Victoria. I have a feeling this is more about the show not wanting to give up on that pairing than anything she personally could have accomplished. I guess she could have done it, but if she had that much sway I wonder if he would have been cast in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Wow. All of that press of David Tom returning to Y&R to this?!? Why is Amelia still there? I've seen her not so subtle tweets about wanting BM back which really was unprofessional Guess we got that shocking soap news after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Now all the BM and MM hyenas are saying that Y&R listened to them and other BS on how Miller IS Billy and Muhney should return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Didn't DT create the role? It always boggles my mind that a character you created you can be not right for. If something is not right it means you are writing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted May 23, 2014 Author Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 EXACTLY! Not only that, but they man the man who established Billy as an adult AND WON AN EMMY FOR THE ROLE fricking audition opposite Amelia Heinle, a Y&R nobody. That is insulting beyond measure and yet still they fire him?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 As The World Turns did a similar turn with Scott Bryce who originated the role of Craig Montgomery-- he was basically told he wasn't right for the role he originated, got Emmy noms for and originated a popular character/couple with. By the way, do these recent casting changes strike any ATWT fans of being strangely reminiscent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 IMO, DT can not play romantic lead which is what they want here. They should have adjusted the character to suit him as I find him more believable as more of a darker character. Not too villainous but definetly more grey. people outgrow characters and just bc you are the original actor, doesn't mean you will always be right fit it, especially after one has been gone for over a decade and the role has been recast multiple times.

Members YRBB Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Cheap, the writing is terrible. Nobody can make that work. And let me just add: THE !@#$%^&*]??????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 David Tom was a great teen billy but that was in 2002 he left but he didn't translate here. Amelia is still here because her bosses love her and she got an Emmy nod. I would love to see her win the Emmy for everyone to eat crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
