Y&R: Tony Morina accused of sexual harassment. Sony being sued.

[Aback]

But ES was hired by BB on B&B… That must mean he was not that toxic, right?

[amybrickwallace]

Have any Y&R people gone on the record about Morina in the past? I haven't heard anything.

[Chris B]

ES has controversy attached to him but he’s an actually good producer. When he went to Days and then B&B he modernized the production values so much you instantly knew changes had been made. He especially has done wonders with B&B which I feel was so dated prior to him and then Kay Alden bringing the show into the present day. 

[Errol]

 

I have not. No. He has done interviews with other people though so that's not true about him not giving interviews.

[Soapsuds]

YR has had it scandals.. Director Randy J Robbins comes to mind.

[amybrickwallace]

I've never heard of him. What did he do?

[titan1978]

Y&R has a long history of backstage turmoil and fighting, no matter who was at the helm.

If I was Wendy Riche, I would not work for any of these soaps at this point.  On The Bay she has way more control over story and everything else than she would ever get in daytime at this point.

 

Morina should be out pending the investigation.  No excuses for this behavior.

It involves a restroom and his goodies.

 yr released him and he went to days.

[amybrickwallace]

Ewwwww...

[Soapsuds]

YR had its scandals

The whole Brenda Dickson mess

Terry Lester vs LLB

Mean girls Michelle Stafford & Sharon Case vs Victoria Rowell

 

Am I leaving anything out?

[dragonflies]

Whoa wait, what's the TL and LLB scoop?

[amybrickwallace]

Exactly. 

It's so weird that we haven't even heard anything about his status or an investigation. 

[Liberty City]

I agree. But I would LOVE to see her as executive producer if we had to bring in someone completely new with no history. At this point, we need Steve Kent out from Sony Television.

Terry Lester [reportedly] quit The Young and the Restless because of the attention being given to Lauralee Bell's Christine, while the Lester's Jack was being sidelined.

There never seemed to be anything negative between VR and SC. (MS and VR is an entirely different story).

VR and SC have each tweeted very complementary things of each other in the past. Has there been a new development between them?

[titan1978]

Terry Lester criticized the amount of story and airtime LLB was having as Cricket in at least one published interview.  He felt the show was giving her too much, and Jack had been sidelined.  This was 1989, and the truth is she was on too much and had too much story at that time IMO.  With Nina and Danny and her mom, she was tied to almost every story on the show, in her own stories and multiple crossover stories.

And I don’t hate Christine.  But it was too much.
