From the print version of TV Guide:

 

He'll play Simon Neville who is a shady neurologist hired to help Neil.

 

MEK: He says Simon is kind of eccentric & a rule breaker and hilarious though he doesn't mean to be. he makes no apologies for being brilliant & always thinks he has the highest IQ in the room. He says Simon is here to keep the Hilary situation under wraps.

 

Michael Logan asks him about how this gig reunites him with Pratt who wrote for AMC and says MEK is the only one on the show to praise him. MEK says he can't complain about the guy. Tad had been in a rut for years. Pratt asked where Tad the Cad was and said he was Father Knows Best without the sweater & pipe. He thinks Pratt is a funny progressive guy.

 

Michael Logan asks why he returned to soaps. MEK says it's a blessing to be at Y&R. After 33 years in the business he was nervous about walking into the studio the first day. He hasn't done alot of work since AMC went down. His last gig was a body on a slab on NCIS for 3 scenes. He got killed before the credits rolled. His smartass friends said it was his best work yet.

Tad might have been in a rut, but I doubt Pratt did right by him.

Tad might have been in a rut, but I doubt Pratt did right by him.

MEK says and I quote: "He had Tad get shot in the head and develop a personality disorder & the sky was the limit"

But that "disorder" was dropped so quickly.  I don't know what the hell MEK is talking about.

Me either lol and what was his excuse for all the others he wrote OOC.

Besides being glad that he's not involved with the Newmans (yet) I just don't care about these kiss ass interviews...

Maybe MEK needs to keep up his SAG insurance?

Pratt didn't ruin Tad -- that honor goes to Megan McTavish -- but he certainly didn't do him any favors.

If anything, I think the stuff Pratt wrote for him showed me for the first time that AMC needed to cut MEK and Tad loose.
