If this is a joke, then it's a good one.

If this is a legit rumor, then I'm not a bit surprised.

[ajsp35801]

Oh, it's true!

Umm...why is this in the spoiler thread?? I had already posted it on the writers thread...apparently it is true.

[Jonathan]

Oh Lord have mercy. I just went into convulsions when I saw that name. God bless you Y&R fans.

WHERE THE F\/CK DID THIS COME FROM?

WHERE THE FLAMMING F\/CK DID THIS COME FROM????????

How the hell do we get such a hack & how the hell weren't there whispers before it was announced???

OMG I am going to be sick.

[DeeeDee]

LOL

[Khan]

Great. Now WTF is going to happen to that classic Audrey Hepburn-style romance I was hearing so much about?

[YRBB]

This cannot be true.

[Khan]

Shitty fireworks!

[YRBB]

There go the sexy la queen diva fireworks!!!!

This makes me want to throw up.

I'm not kidding.

He was so beyond terrible at AMC, and so dismissive of the show and its history, of Agnes Nixon, of everything. Didn't even Susan Lucci call him out?

The main reason this genre has been in death throes for two decades is because they constantly practice the "fail upwards" strategy. Hacks like Pratt decimate soaps and get bigger and better jobs for it every time.

I have to wonder if someone wants Y&R gone and the last decade has just been an extended attempt at making that happen.

A few years ago I would have given off a laundry list of the havoc he will likely wreak, but at this point, why even bother. Nothing to joke about or gossip about or laugh about or angst about.

Instead it's watching someone you care about get their last rites.

Sorry. I didn't see that!
