@titan1978 & @dragonflies Do you think SB's "health exemption" is also what prevents him from using sunscreen? That aging skin and bad instagram lighting isn't going to get him any jobs in daytime (couldn't resist a bitchy bon mot).

Things I am still surprised by in this case (given my clear lack of inside sources):

1. CBS, ABC, and SB agreed to have him go on the Talk last week to promote GH - after he was "let go" last month (it really makes me want to re-look at those backstage photos)

2. His own instagram comments are split on supporting his "choice"

3. He maintains there will be a time "after mandates", as opposed to understanding how the world has changed.  He's not Joe Rogan, one doubts his podcast will supplant his TV income.

4. Clubs in New York are still going to allow him to perform his "act" now that he's confirmed that he's unvaccinated

Seriously, since I am so bad at predictions, what are the chances this guy ever gets another job on a soap within the next three years?

Unfortunately, I would say it's likely.   If not GH, I bet someone else will pick him up.

But the silver lining for me is that this could free up $$$ for Vanessa Marcil.  So thank you Ingo and Steve!

That said...all I can really say is...

 

 

As someone who has danced on the grave of a few actors, actoresses, and reality tv stars, I'm not at all going to take away from thoses who have wanting to do the same.

 

To think he would be so selfish, but if that is the hill he wants to die on...so be it.

Given the disastrous View appearance by anti-vaxxer Jedediah Bila, and local news aversion to misinformation on the topic, I wonder if he'll get any TV interviews out of this?  I also wonder about commercial support for his podcast given the same issues?  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook suppresses his content or places a misinformation tag on his statement.

So he tried medical AND religious exemptions, not just one or the other.  In other words, he's simply petrified to get a shot, and he tried anything he could think of to weasel out of it.  

Probably easier to just say, "I'm a weenie who cries when I get a shot."

Catholics are the only ones that had concerns with the vaccine. I am a Catholic and had concerns too. Our local pastor was on TV a while back and said it was ok for Catholics to get the vaccine. It was to save your life and he also commented that he was vaccinated.

That said....I didn't know Burton was religious much less a Catholic.

The Pope said that the vaccine was fine and the right thing to do. (AP article from Sept 15)
https://apnews.com/article/health-religion-coronavirus-pandemic-pope-francis-raymond-burke-b2f2b16321f0275e7b57fbadbd5cfaec
 

quoting the AP article:

Significantly, Francis didn’t cite the religious objection used by some who refuse the vaccines. Some conservatives have refused to get the shots citing the remote and indirect connection to lines of cells derived from aborted fetuses.

The Vatican’s doctrine office has said it is “morally acceptable” for Catholics to receive COVID-19 vaccines based on research that used cells derived from aborted fetuses. Francis has said it would be “suicide” not to get the jab and both Francis and Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI have been fully vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech shots.

Transcript:

"In a brotherly spirit, I join in this message of hope for a brighter future. Thanks to God and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from COVID-19. They grant us the hope of ending the pandemic, but only if they are available to all and if we work together.

Being vaccinated with vaccines authorised by the competent authorities is an act of love. And contributing to ensure the majority of people are vaccinated is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for one’s family and friends, love for all people. Love is also social and political, there is social love and political love; it is universal, always overflowing with small gestures of personal charity capable of transforming and improving societies."

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
