YR: You're Fired! Actor out ...

[NothinButAttitude]

Can we just get John Driscoll back as Chance and Marcy Rylan back as Abby? At least we know they'd have chemistry.

 

They can send Melissa Ordway to B&B as some distant cousin to the Logans or something.

Is John Driscoll still serving in the armed forces?

Who knows what goes on backstage?

Maybe a combination of things. I was totally unimpressed with him as Chance.

I don't believe TPTB have to give any reason if the termination is at the end of a contract cycle.

 

It's a  pity that the role of Chance has been tainted by this.

But the same thing happened with Nate and Sean Dominic was a successful recast so maybe next Chance will be better.

 

Had they not married off Chance and Abby it would have been easier to drop him for a few weeks and create an opportunity for  angst in the ongoing Chance/Abby romance.

I don't think he is. 

[Taoboi]

THIS.

 

But if they want to recast, then temp Gaston again until they find someone else.

I believe he is out now...and...married before Co-Vid got really bad...but with social distancing. I believe SOD also wrote about this as well which is why I was shocked to hear he had done a podcast fairly recently.

I wonder if Justin would be open to YR full time. Maybe he could be Dillon on GH

Someone on twitter cited his good morals. Werr they talking about the character or the actor? The character can easily be brought back by spring.

 

I have been trying to imply and flat out state this, in more than one post now.

The company doesn't have to cite a reason for not extending a contract.

If they've done so, it's more as a courtesy (probably not wanting to look like the "bad guy"), not due to any legal obligation.

Regarding Donny Boaz's statement that they also fired 4-5 more people --

I suspect that’s one reason why his cast mates weren’t clamoring to send him good wishes on his way out.

[DramatistDreamer]

I know it's not funny but I admit, I chuckled. Personally, I am not surprised they lied. Y&R just doesn't care at this point. Whatever's the path of least resistance.

A recasted Chance will be back in six weeks.

Or maybe Boaz lied? Oh well, y'all let me know who they decide on as the next Chance.

I think he was let go due to his social media stuff. He said he was given scripts through the end of March. For this to happen it was obviously sudden and they timed it with his contract cycle. He was trying to save face so he can get another job.

I heard he wasn't listening to the Covid protocols

He said he was given his taping schedule not scripts, and he didn't say they had been fired but they will be fired, just clarifying 

[Chris B]

You are correct about the taping schedule vs scripts, but I would imagine you’d have to have scripts in order to give a taping schedule and we know the shows are written months in advance, as we see whenever there is a HW swap. Also insiders are saying the mass firing he’s speaking of isn’t happening.
