BETRAYAL! REVENGE! SCANDAL! No, im not talking about primetime series…im talking about Y&Rs new spinoff…’Behind the Scenes,!!!(original title: The ‘Wicked & The Witch’…depends which side your on) and its so much better than the original…lol

All KSJ is doing is increasing his FB views. He needs to stop.

KSJ stated he wants this to stop, but then proceeded to compare the MM scandal to the LA Riots, and being in a war zone where the cast has to don flak jackets – the LA riots??, Really? – this story won’t end because every day somebody else throws another log on the fire – today was KSJ’s turn, I would suggest if the cast want to free themselves from the social media ‘war zone’ they simply turn off their computers and stop talking about this, then the fire will die out on its own – this is not the first Hollywood sex scandal and it won’t be the last.

Some attorneys are having a field day planning their vacations & second homes on the fees they are getting out of this mess. I am sure on both sides (Sony/CBS & MM) they have been given gag orders. Too bad they didn’t do it sooner before some of the actors started commenting.

My prediction….unless she covered her ass in a major way….Ms. McDaniel is going to be job hunting soon. How many people do not think it was she who leaked that story to TMZ…both the general public or TPTB?

I feel sorry for both MM & HK regardless of the veracity of the story. They have both been tarred & feathered and ripped to shreds because of that TMZ story. MM was let go….people were upset. Then, that story comes out and cast begin commenting and all hell breaks loose.

We have all probably seen blind items about *stars* behavior….be it ego, drinking, drugs, attitude…..and we go, hmmm…..wonder who and move on. The constant attention to this by fellow castmates has done nothing but exacerbate the situation.

I don’t think KSJ meant to fan the flames….I get the feeling he is extremely frustrated by all parties involved and probably dreads going to that studio at the moment. He was unloading….but maybe should have hit that delete button.

As an aside….I find Michael Logan’s behavior as disgusting as anyone else’s. He is a journalist (supposedly) yet seems like a gleeful tyke with his snippy, “I know something you don’t” comments & twitter posts. Maybe time for him to step away from the keyboard as well.

This situation that has come up reminds me of story a friend stated to years ago about EB (she was on the set at that time probably in the early nineties). She said she saw him ***king off in his dressing room with the door wide open & how it made her sick. So it seems to be some of the people criticizing MM have absolutely no room to speak…with some of the other situations mentioned in previous years written here & elsewhere…bandwagon jumping seems to occur to these individuals only when things are made public..as for social media…Social media doesn’t seem to have made our lives any better jmo….

O cry me a river– poor baby. If he thinks he is living in a war zone he should move somewhere where people are actually living in a war zone and then maybe he would stop the melodrama. Yes they all put into a chunk of time into the show, but you got PAID handsomely to do it. Some actors in Hollywood would LOVE to have a steady paying gig like KSTJ has.

What about fans– I have invested years myself in watching a show, for free, did not get paid to watch, and to see it torn to shreds by incompetent management is frustrating. A lot of the anger Y&R is getting right now isn’t reallly just about MM– his firing was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. Fans have been frustrated for years and I think all of that pent up frustration is coming out in this time. Lately the cast has been blaming us the fans for all this– trying to manage us by feeding us spin— which is making it worse.

the fans have kept all of you in a decent job for years– so what you are sensing back stage is perhaps fear— realizing all of you could lose your nice jobs not just MM, if management doesn’t wake up and realize you don’t have a show if you alienate the fans away from the show– and you alienate us when you give us lame stories, you kill off legacy characters, you bring on newbies that make the show totally unrecognizable, and you can’t kept your talent happy and you lose them. But most of all you piss us off when you disrespect us by blaming us instead of accepting responsibility for all these blunders.
I don’t want to see the show cancelled either– but honestly I do hope this show loses its number one spot, then maybe, just maybe, someone at CBS or Sony will realized they have the wrong people managing this show and replace them with someone who knows this show, OR better yet, someone who knows who their fans are and what they really want. If GH can do it, so can you.

End of rant. Thank you.

While it’s admirable that Mr. St. John has spoken his piece and asked that fans be understanding, etc., other stars have soundly jumped onto the “Muhney must be wrong, King must be right” bandwagon without honestly knowing what happened, if anything.

ALL of this mess is because of an anonymous rumor started by a post on Soaps.com, and unless someone with some massive power, such as VP of Daytime Programming Angelica McDaniels, CBS President Steve Kent or even executive producer Jill Farren Phelps (whom, I’m sorry to say, most fans wouldn’t believe if they her do something with their own eyes) come out and give a statement, this is going to continue to fester and grow and just ruin Y&R and it’s wonderful, Bell-created 40-year image.

But then again, wasn’t that what Phelps was hired for? To “destroy” Y&R within a couple years? That’s what so many articles stated when she was hired on in August of 2012, and started her work in October of the same year.

Unless someone directly involved in this whole mess speaks out, either directly to the public or through a spokesperson (representative, attorney, whomever), it’s going to continue to grow and fester and roil. CBS, Sony and Y&R, seriously, need to end this by making some kind of statement themselves, not by asking their stars, who may be risking their own jobs/careers by doing so.

Folks my goodness its just a show, yes they let an actor go, big deal it happens all the time daytime or night time, WOW ……let’s move on!

Some of you make the actor who play Adam GOD, he was not the show, my goodness!

I do believe this nasty information was deliberately leaked to cause irreparable damage to Muhney’s career
A deliberate leak by a hateful insider, someone who really has a major bone to pick with MM. Management placed a gag order on two parties BUT not the other employees, fishy.
This underhanded, backdoor if you will, angle, is coming back in spades to hurt Y&R.
I’m sure the intention was to cover their butts when they fired him. A nice explanation, no problem, no consequences.
But viewers are upset, the show won’t be the same.
The girl will get work, but MM has been branded, I hope he is given another opportunity and learns to keep cool, chill, not to take things to heart, be professional, a paycheck is what is needed at the end of the day. He needs his next opportunity.
Hey, even felons are returned to society after doing their time. They are given a second chance. That is the way our civilised society works.

As for this thread, shove it KSJ.

PS
Michael and family, if you are reading this, all the best.

I dont know where Kristoff St John is getting all this from, but you reap what you sow, if it is a war zone behind the scenes , I am glad to hear it. Oh by the way Kristoff you better hold on your hat, because you really are one of the characters who should be taken off. You not had a decent part since Driscilla died, when you come on the show I change the channel and go back when you are off, because you have no role, and these people like Eric, who plays the same lousy role over and over again just a little bit different each time arent you getting sick of it , god you are in your seventys. Melalnie Thomas Scott oh where do I begin, you were a wonderful actress years ago, forget it now, same old whinning parts, like victor just a little different.. Your brillant part now, all of a sudden you remember you had a child about 35yrs ago and go looking for it, how many other children do you have out there you had in the past.. You should be embrassed to keep playing the stupid parts, looking up to victor him kissing you on the cheek, omg sick.. There is only one man on the show I like and that is Jack the rest of you could all go away and get new people and no one would even know you were gone. So stop asking Michael to come how, why would he God he was fired why would why would he care, I just hope he got a real good lawyer, I dont know how this business goes but I pray there is something he can go.. A WAR ZONE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT A WAR ZONE IS IF US HIS FANS COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX ALL YOU TO GET HIM BACK!!!!!!! I never thought Michael was a quiet. stand offiish man, he is no wimp, I imagine he did speak up to Eric B. You are going to be sorry people if he dosent come back and it doesnt look like anyone behind the scenes is doing anything to make this right Gail P
