GH Actress' Contract Negotiations Hit Snag; Rival Soap Eyeing to Hire

[detroitpiston]

Becky Herbst stans are ruthless, this Nathan guy picked the wrong one to try.

[Juliajms]

Wow. This is insanity.

[dragonflies]

Jamey is telling truths. From the DC Podcast

 

"You can afford a 4 year contract for RB, you can bring back Easton for a 5th character but you lowball Herbst."

 

"Rebecca was done with negotiations, according to my sources because ABC had given her an insulting offer."

[Soapsuds]

I dont understand the fascination with Easton. Did I miss something? He is clearly not FV type…so what gives??

 

As for Rebecca….I can see Y&R and Jill hiring her just to get under GH skin….LOL

[dragonflies]

Nah I want her far from Pratt...look what he's done to Sharon & Hilary

 

I think Days might  be the best fit at this time. Just not as Abby

[ChitHappens]

Newbies on Days usually fail!  Bex would be better off looking for prime time work. 

[Juliajms]

I don't get the fascination with Easton either. Every time I think I'm rid of him he shows back up.  I had no idea RB got a 4 year contract, I missed that news.

 

As to which is better Y&R and Days, well that's a choice that makes clear how slim the pickings are in the soap world. Days has wasted a ton of talent. Maybe I would pick Y&R even with their writing problems. The Bell soaps are most likely to still be standing in 5 years and Y&R has a more stable cast.

I could see her as Mac on Y&R or maybe Heather Stevens

[Soapsuds]

Ha…I know…its like squashing a cockroach and it still moving….LOL….

I guess Rebecca got Rebecca's money….LOL…...

 

 

B&B should cast Rebecca as the new Bridget Forrester…Rick's sister and Brooke's daughter.

[dragonflies]

They won't cast  her as Bridget...Brad has no use for the character other than to kiss her whore mother's ass

[Soapsuds]

fixed….LOL

[dragonflies]

Stooopppp

[Darn]

I don't get it, Rebecca Budig is older, less attractive, playing a useless character and not as good of an actress as BH, why are they keeping her?

 

 

And it's wild to me that they'd give Michael Easton yet ANOTHER character because he has this alleged rabid fanbase while BH and Elizabeth has an actual rabid fanbase for valid reasons. Is this sexism? I don't know but I know there is no good reason why that man has been employed on soaps for 20+ years, he cannot act.

[dio]

 

i was just wondering to myself about Brittnay? Maybe, a Brittnay recast?

 

or, Stitch's wife back from the dead? Or sister of the dead Dr. Anderson, out for vengeance? 

[Mr. Vixen]

For purely selfish reasons, I'm going to hope she ends up on Y&R or B&B, as I don't currently watch DAYs.
