Members Khan Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) So basically Donny's dear leader helped cost him his job. Oh my. Edited February 1, 2021 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) 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.

Members Soapsuds Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 Which would make this whole Abby/Mariah surrogacy story even stupider if they continue with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 That scenario sounds like preparations for a recasting of the role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 When has YR cast someone good? It's been years many many year's since they cared about casting someone good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted February 1, 2021 Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 That's because Gaston was shirtless during those scenes. I remember thinking oh what a nice surprise! Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
