Parking lot is Wes Ramsey who Valentini met in the parking lot of Gh. 
 

honestly them saying it was COVID expenses well paying a recast while he was off cost money.

 

I thought it was another dig at Peter Bergman...

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.

So basically Donny's dear leader helped cost him his job. 

 

Oh my.

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.

I saw it too since there was absolutely nothing on tv. I'm sure he's going on the run/hiding from those looking for him.

Which would make this whole Abby/Mariah surrogacy story even stupider if they continue with it.

That scenario sounds like preparations for a recasting of the role.

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.

When has YR cast someone good? It's been years many many year's since they cared about casting someone good.

Gaston at least has sex appeal and can be in affectionate scenes with MO. That really made a lot of difference in their honeymoon scenes.

That's because Gaston was shirtless during those scenes. I remember thinking oh what a nice surprise!😊

All the Facebook Grandmas are losing their minds in the comments section about this right now LOL. What do they even see in him????
