Frankly, the way he openly tried to rally his [stupid] fans against a pairing (or hell, a simple flirtation) with Beth Maitland felt very fatphobic. Like somehow he felt it was offensive to him for the show to pair him with a plus sized woman. He was an albatross on Y&R for years and he only has himself to blame for being fired and for almost totally erased there. 

Very.

This was the last straw but he did the same thing to the actress who played Juliet. I don't know what his obsession was with the Lane pairing, but that Juliet story was the first true lead story he'd had in years and he had a higher episode count than he'd ever had that year so I struggled to understand why he was so upset.

Of course, after he put an end to that story, he did the same thing to the pairing of Cane and Traci which was even more shocking because it repaired the character from the complaints he had of Cane turning dark and he still had great screentime. 

I don't think he's a bad actor but any soap that hires him needs to make sure to keep him in his place. If he starts pulling these stunts at GH they need to get rid of him before he develops a strong enough following to pull that same Lane nonsense.

You really think Valentini is going to allow him to pull the same kind of stunts he did on Y&R? Go ask Kelly Monaco. 🤣
