I think TPTB told Donny Boaz they weren't renewing his contract due to COVID costs, because saying why they REALLY let him go could leave themselves open for a lawsuit.

The ending of today’s show: After talking with Abby about options for having a child (adoption, etc.), Chance is alone and answers his cell phone to an unseen caller: “This is Det. Chancellor. [a beat] I was wondering when you’d finally catch up with me.”

 

Hmmm.

 

Interestingly, Tricia Cast is supposed to return in the next few days.

I don't believe they need to say anything when they simply let the contract expire without a renrewal. If he were fired without compensation when he had more time left on his contract, they would then need to cite a valid cause or risk a wrongful termination suit. Letting the contract expire without a subsequent renewal, I don't think they need to legally state a reason, doing so is more of a courtesy, I think. If anything, stating a reason that turns out to be proven false really could open the company up to a lawsuit.

Pretty much.  It's one thing to be a conservative who supports our former president, but Boaz's views were engendering too much controversy among online fans at a time when these shows want to be as uncontroversial as possible.

 

Moreover, Boaz had proven himself to be a risk to his co-workers by refusing to wear masks (again, because of his political views) and contracting the virus.  Who's to say he learned his lesson after getting sick?  Who's to say he wouldn't catch it again, especially if he still refuses to "mask up"?  And if he were to catch it again, who's to say he wouldn't spread it to anyone else (if he didn't spread it the first time) and cause Y&R's set to become one, giant superspreader?

 

In the end, I think TPTB just decided he wasn't worth the aggravation.

 

 

So, up to the attic, he goes.

Agree.  But, will they bring back Justin Gaston, or will they find someone new?  Personally, I'd bring back Gaston, even if he isn't much of a performer.  But, on the other hand, it'd be nice to see Y&R try and find someone GOOD for the role, lol.

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
