That was a really good interview.  I love KMc.  She just seems so real.  It's nice her and MB are friends. 

I wonder who was doing all the drugs in 80's.  And Lol at Tristian getting wasted during lunch and using a teleprompter.

SBu must have been a real ass when he was young.  Vanessa, Kim, and Maurice have all said it basically.

I find MB really likable in these videos.  And he admits he was an ass too.  MB goes into more detail about himself and Steve in his book (don't judge me-I read it during quarantine lol)

I have no idea what SBu is like now.  Are we talking about his beliefs?  Or how he treats his co-stars?  I have no doubt MB and SBu have gotten away with a lot of crap, but they both seem mostly well-liked now?  MB seems close to a lot of his current/former co-stars.   I am sure there are people they prefer to work with and it seems like MB/SBu were not nice to SJB or TB when they were Carly, but then Lilly Melgar, Vanessa, Michael Sutton, KMc all seem to love MB and they really don't need to go out of their way to praise him.

SBu doesn't seem as well liked, but I don't think he is disliked.  He had that band with Spinelli, Scott Reeves, and Brandon Barash for awhile.   

IDK, I get the feeling SBu and MB aren't the main problems on the GH set these days lol.

Yeah that distinction about how he behaves on-set (although he wasn't liked on the YR set) vs who he is.
My point, which is admittedly not coming from a direct experience but nevertheless stands, I think, is that he might indeed be a lot nicer to his co-stars and yet still be an a** as a lot of things he has said and done publicly or to fans have proven over the years (and that's before we even get to his beliefs).
So I was trying to say I wish they would recognize the fact he is better to *them* does not necessarily mean he has changed.

Okay.  Gotcha.  I assume MB/SBu are used to being the big dogs on set.  I would think SBu might be a little humbled by the fact they did replace him with a fairly popular recast.  I have no idea why he thought he was hot stuff in the early 90's.  No one even cared about Jason until he was brain damaged.   He's probably just matured a little and acts more professionally.

I have always had an issue with Steve shilling that juice to fans in that MLM scheme, but he seems to be out of that business.  His persona tends to rub me the wrong way.  I do chuckle at the fact he lived with Tara Reid for 2 years in the 90's.

Idk, he's a 50 year old actor in a dying genre.  I assume he's changed his ways a bit.

IKR. I felt like that was nothing but a big tease with no follow up. 

I was just coming over here to say that. I do find that since he came back from Y&R that SBu was been greatly humbled. And quite professional versus all the stories I've heard about him being an a-hole, selling that juice, and rubbing all the wrong people the wrong way. He seems more likeable and more likely to have a sense of humor now.

Isn’t MB the one who was embroiled in the NLG/IG drama? The set must have a lot of tension right now. 

SBu has always rubbed me the wrong way too, but looking back on it most of what I’ve heard in terms of him being mean to other cast mates involved MB too. They were pretty rude to Jonathan Jackson’s wife Lisa (Hannah) but JJ still seems to be great friends with them so I guess those late 90s days are forgotten.

I honestly met SBu several years ago at a place I worked and he was a super nice guy. Very handsome in person.  I have no idea what he's truly like but he was extremely nice to me and my coworkers.  I have met some super rude soap stars in my time working there.

I think Burton was a dick back in the day because he thought he would go on to bigger and better things.  It seems like him and MB have mellowed.

MB is pretty open about being an ass back in the day.

    • I feel bad for judging a child, but, to be fair, she's over 40 now. My daughter was into Halloweentown when it reran on the Disney Channel in the 2010s. I wasn't impressed then, either.
    • Isn't that funny how certain memories as young children stick with you through life... Haha I totally get what you mean. That's how I felt with GL in the beginning, but then I got used to it. Seeing so many of my favorite AMC characters on GL was wild - Walker, Irizarry, Dusay, Budig, Aleksander, Gil Rogers, etc.  Ironically, it helps that Irizarry and Dusay played both mother/son in both shows. I know Marcy Walker was wasted on GL as Tangie, but selfishly I'm so glad she was. When she left GL and returned immediately to AMC as Liza Colby, man was it such a great storyline. The Tad/Dixie/Liza triangle was so emotional, tense and memorable. The AMC fans got lucky with that one. WRCW, Tad/Liza working together, the affair, then Jason Sheffield and the shooting on-set... all amazing stuff.   LOL! 
    • I remember thinking that he was fantastic after Reva's 1990 "death," with his grief and attempted relationship with Harley. I also remember the cute Marah, not the toothy chick from Halloweentown.
    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.
    • GH:       A- DAYS:   A- BTG:     B- B&B:     F Y&R:     F
    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
