Will soaps start firing actors who aren't fully vaccinated?


Recommended Posts

Well, we also do not know if they liked it because of anti-vaccination. They could have liked it because of him standing up for himself (LOL) or for being against vaccination passports/requiring people to vaccination and/or show proof of it. Because I know Lilly Melgar (ex-Lily) posted this on his video: 

“Mandating any vaccine is wrong” ….

Plus, Rademacher just posted this 11 hours ago, and again, most of those supporting him either have private accounts or no-posts. Hilarious people will hide, yet feel the need to name-call and bully in his comment section, much like he does in his posts. As for Marcus Coloma, Chad Duell and Johnny Wactor, are we sure they are anti-vaxx? I know Coloma wiped most of his Instagram page but three posts (there were more) so it's making me wonder if something happened. Duell I do feel is pretty safe; he's posted having a mask on the set. Wactor I'm pretty sure I've seen that he has been vaxxed. I don't know. Things just seem... I don't even know. I know one of Rademacher's co-stars does not follow him on social media despite him following them. Now THAT speaks volumes to me.  Not to mention, Frank Valentini does not even follow Rademacher. It's bad when your boss does not follow you.

No, he actually wasn't. I think if the writing could've bent a bit more to him than Tyler Christopher he would've been excellent. Plus, again, his chemistry with Maura West was amazing.. though, most people have amazing chemistry with West. Hell, even she has amazing chemistry with herself.

I have never seen clips of his Jax, but I would welcome it!

Plus, seeing "he/him" in his profile kind of warms my heart. Now THAT is inclusion!

He went after a personal friend of mine on Twitter and has blamed my friend for all the blowback he's getting because of what he ha said. he's an outright jerk IMPO, and if I were leading Disney/ABC, he would be fired....TODAY.

I'm one who doesn't really care what the actors' personal beliefs are as long as they're not obnoxious about them. Like, I don't need Marcus Coloma to be recast because he might be anti-vax. But Ingo? He's completely obnoxious and sounds like an imbecile every time he opens his mouth. He can go.

Regarding the argument that we don't know for sure whether liking this post means they are anti-vaxxx.

Sure, I can see scenarios where some ppl may have liked it for other reasons - my personal speculation being about being "supportive of a colleague" since he was complaining about fan campaign to get him fired.

But in any case if you decided to publicly "like" a video full of disinformation, regardless of your reasons, you are at very least enabling a campaign that endangers you and your colleagues. And as far as I am concerned, the burden is now on YOU to prove to us you are not anti-vaxxx. They chose to be supportive of his hateful behavior; it is fair for us to make assumptions now.
There is no possible scenario in which a friend or a family member posting what IR has posted would get a like from me, regardless of my feelings about them. Liking it is giving your support.
So no sympathy from me even if they are actually vaccinated. "I am vaccinated but..." doesn't cut it anymore. If in practice you are enabling anti-vax craziness (and that includes the "But I am against vaccine passes" thing) you are functionally an ally of those who are prolonging this nightmare.
They used social media enough to like IR's post. Nothing prevents them from using it to encourage fans to get vaccinated or talk about their own vaccination status if they don't want us to be misled into thinking their like is anti-vaxxx support. 
I can accept complete silence. But the minute they got off the fence ever so slightly, they opened themselves to legitimate questions and until further notice, that was anti-vaxxx support as far as I am concerned.

Enough finding excuses for everybody. We are on track to lose three quarter of a million fellow Americans to the disease, not to mention those dying of other things because hospital beds are taken by unvaccinated idiots.
Anything short of doing all in our power to stop this tragedy is enabling it and I am going to judge actors whose work I like the same I would anyone else.

It’s possible MC didn’t even watch Ingo’s video and just Iiked the post without seeing it. Mindless liking on Insta is definitely a thing. Giving him the benefit of the doubt that he unliked it when he realized what it said.

So I am catching up on all of this mess and all I have to say is just fire all their asses (anti-vaxxers). It has been long awaited that the power in this genre needs to shift back to the TPTB and not the actors. This can be the perfect start. Make an example. There are a plethora of out-of-work actors that can fill these roles. Hell, a lot of these characters need to be killed off anyway. Time for a good slasher or catastrophe story anyway.

    • Christian Streaty penned today's Day's script. https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-streaty/
    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
