Wasn't Doug just thrilled to death when Mal got promoted? I knew it wouldn't get him anywhere but I didn't think it'd get him axed.

 

THIS.

 

I know this is part of a terrible pattern, however this time I'll say: good riddance!

Can I sit with you 

Let’s see...not including newbies like Daniel Hall/Darnell Kirkwood/Tristan Lake Lebeau or folks like CLB/TEB/Robert Adamson, in the past year-and-a-half, they’ve dumped:

 

Greg Rikaart

Elizabeth Hendrickson 

Melissa Claire Egan

Mishael Morgan

Eileen Davidson

Christel Khalil

Doug Davidson

 

Rumored to be dumping:

 

Kristoff St. John

Bryton James

Daniel Goddard (and by extension, Noah Alexander Gerry and Lexie Stevenson)

 

Will likely dump/downgrade within the next 18 months, given their recent marginalization in terms of stories/sets:

 

Peter Bergman

Eric Braeden

Melody Thomas Scott

Marla Adams (recurring)

 

They’ve brought on:

 

Michael Mealor

Jason Canela

Jordi Vilasuso

Sasha Calle (Lola)

Brooks Darnell

Hunter King (return)

Alice Hunter (the new AA role, Kerry)

 

Am I missing anyone?

Make room for me.

 

Also when did none of ya'll inform me of this? I must've been on a break from all soaps

They definitely haven't known what to do with him for at least 20 years now.

 

But it's not the first one I would have fired.

 

Why does Christian LeBlanc still have a job? Didn't they re-hire Greg Rikaart?

 

It is sad, though. Y&R has always been the gold standard of daytime. Now, it hasn't really been that since LML, but it kept up that appearance. But it is finally all catching up with them. Far from cathartic, it's so sad.

 

Just cancel these remaining soaps already, jeez...

At this point, I would probably agree that the remaining soaps should be cancelled.

Y&R  needs to FIRE Val Young immediately!!!   Put Doug Davidson(Paul), Tracey E. Bregman(Lauren) & Marla Adams(Dina), plus Lauralee Bell(Christine) Beth Maitland(Traci) back on contract.  Beef up the Williams, Chancellor & Fenmore families.  GH also needs a big overhaul. BUT ABSOLUTELY NO to canceling the remaining soaps.  I wish they'd bring back both AMC & ONE LIFE and cancel GH, with a few GH spread to the other shows, Anna, Laura, Kevin, etc.

There are a few exits I want to celebrate but it's hard because the show is in a bad place and they're axing for the wrong reasons. But I think he sort of did it to himself. He couldn't stay quiet, either way, good/bad, he ran his mouth. I think Mal's dumped some dead weight, personally, but I'm not liking the way this is all going down. So I'm torn. I think he's damaging and awful and I'm not really supporting his reign at all but I'm not too upset over losing some people but, again, the blatant way it's happening is a slap in the face.

It's all highly amusing.

It's hard for me to feel sad for anyone who was gainfully employed for 40 years by the same show and was making a hell of a lot more money than the average American. 

 

The crappy state of these shows just makes it easier to accept longtime veterans being fired. 

He sure is milking it. He now has other fired soap stars commenting how it was wrong to fire him. He should have some class like Eileen Davidson.

DD wasn't fired and even he had to clear it up. He hasn't gotten any scripts so he says he was fired to gain sympathy. 

 

Eh...either way, I'm good.

Yes. That's the thing. Try running your mouth like that when you have a corporate job and see what happens. An executive at the company my husband works for found out just a couple of weeks ago.  He criticized a product on twitter and was shown the door the very next day.

 

  It's common sense at this point that you cannot talk $hit about your employer on social media and expect to have a job.

I'm laughing at the racists losing their ish over the so called latino takeover.

If that's the case Bergman and Braeden should've been axed right along with Doug.
