Members Darn Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Instead of a temp recast they decide to just recast him completely? Sus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Burgi probably costs more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 That's exactly what I was thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 It is a shame, as it seems like an innocent mistake on his part. But typical of Y&R to pinch a penny and cut a corner in pursuit of the most mediocre coaster of a soap opera possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Transcript of Burgi's January 11th instagram story: “I’m here in Southern California and I hope wherever you are you are having a good one. I was just about to take a swim in the ocean and I looked something up on Google and I found an article about me getting released by the show by the writers. I just want to set the record straight. My wife had said something about my exit being the show’s choice, which is true, but the reality is I naively and inadvertently violated the show’s COVID policy. I was back east over Christmas and tested positive somewhere around Christmas at my niece’s house and visiting my 97-year-old mom. I took the necessary five days that the CDC recommended. Not within the show’s guidelines, which is a 10-day protocol. So, I inadvertently violated the show’s COVID rules and protocols. I feel terrible about it. I still do. It bothers me mightily but it is what it is. I respect the show’s decision. They’re doing the best they can. We all are. I truly wish the gentleman coming in to play Ashland a wonderful time. He’s going to be working with the most incredible actress and a great, great cast. It’s an amazing show. I have nothing but good memories.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Robert Newman and Amelia Heinle? An odd mental picture. I guess he probably won't be around long anyway, knowing this show. I never cared much for Josh but Newman has his moments - or did on a show that wasn't as dead as Y&R has felt for an eternity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Burgi made a good statement, but if he isn’t vaxxed, I don’t care about him. Edited January 12, 2022 by ranger1rg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 There's no reason to think he isn't vaxxed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 It reminds me of Huss vs Nichols re: Tucker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I had the same thought yesterday too. Edited January 12, 2022 by Forever8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hopefully it's a sign like then that there is going to be a change BTS coming if they are all three heads are fighting over casting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Agree. If anything, I think this change seals Ashland's fate even more. They can kill him off now and claim it's because Newman had no chemistry with Heinle. (Which would be true, because Heinle has chemistry with virtually no one.) It'd be a shame, though, because I would at least try an Ashland/Ashley/Traci triangle before just dumping him altogether. And to those who suggest (jokingly) that Kim Zimmer join her former on-screen partner at this show? No. If she goes anywhere, let it be to B&B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
