personally I think there are TOO MANY OPINIONS being given! this whole situation involved two actors and the PTB, those should be the only ones speaking on the matter. The actors who are screaming at the fans on twitter should SHUT UP, and the fans who are screaming at the actors involved (in favor of or against) should also SHUT UP) I think both parties should either make statements that directly address the issue at hand or they should say NO COMMENT and move on. One party has made a psuedo comment that people are interpreting whichever way suits their point of view, and the other has remained silent, which isn’t helping her case at all. The PTB seem to all be cowering in a corner somewhere, just watching this crap all play out, and in the end will it affect the ratings, yup I think so!.I hope they understand the power of the Fans. I also feel that a few of the Actors getting into it on twitter are doing so just to keep their faces relevant, they have absolutely NOTHING to do with this situation, although they say they are “sticking up” for a co-worker. Said co-worker, was the one who insisted on the other being fired and seemed to be able to stand on her own two feet during the whole thing. Stand by her at work, call her on the phone, but don;t get into it with the fans on social medial, you look like IDIOTS. EB is shouting at people, telling them they don’t know what they are talking about, that their opinions don’t count, does the dude know this isn’t a script he’s reading from, where he has control! he isn’t the KING here on the internet, he is just a human being like the rest of us. Oops got a little long winded there, sry. I for one, do support one of the participants but have just decided to move on to another daytime show and give them my support, buy those advertisers products and live my life. JMO and yes EB I am entitled to that!

Why bother putting this out…no matter how much these people come foreward and talk about M.M.’s alleged ‘bad boy behavior’ the fans will still come to his defense. Eric and Peter nearly came to blows and neither one was fired, Jeanne Cooper groped and touched but she didnt get fired(but in her case did anyone complain, just asking) a lot of actors arent easy to work with behind the scenes ect. ect. We dont really know M.M. as well as you know his character Adam…he could be Dr. Jekyl one minute and Mr. Hyde the next…who knows maybe he is innocent in all this and his bad attitude stems from being mistreated somehow by cast members jealous by his immense popularity?…maybe he is a jerk as alleged?…we arent around him enough to know the real M.M. No one is perfect…we all have a bad side and some are better at keeping it under control than others but in a blink of an eye that could change. Look at me for example…when people meet me im so nice and friendly…id never do anything bad?…think again…a few weeks ago i was at the deli of a supermarket where they had free samples…a sign clearly said ‘Limit one free sample per customer, please!’. Well, while the deli clerk’s back was turn, i snuck 3 samples when i just read the sign that said ‘Limit 1 per customer’. So, you see people you may think someone is good and not do bad things but look at me now…i lost control at the deli and took extra free samples when there clealy was a limit…i can be bad too…lol!!!

im sorry but the media and yes that includes you too micheal fairman are just adding fuel to the fire with all these stupid statements,,i use to love your interviews but this is the last time i read anything by you,,shame on you,,,

As a psychologist I can’t help but wonder if a psych eval on muhney would be beneficial. He is very talented but does display certain traits of a narcissistic mood disorder. Maybe he should be offered some help and if after treatment be given a second chance. After all, we all deserve one.
🙂

Going out on a limb here….I won’t say I believe or disbelieve the comments made by JD or EB about Muhney’s behavior….but, other than being “highstrung” & “emotional” is it possible that the man has something like bi-polar disorder that is either not being treated or he is not taking medication for if prescribed? NOT trying to start another rumor…just looking for a plausible explanation for his behavior…if it is as what has been said (including MAB’s statements).

Or, perhaps he was just frustrated by his co-workers “phoning it in”?

I believe there is two sides to every story, and to correct a previous poster, Jerry Douglas is still employed by Y & R as a reacurring character’s ghost. I do believe that Eric is an ass and assaulted Peter Bergman & Mathew Muhney and was never fired for either but Mr. Muhney is accused and presumed guilty, is that fair ??? I do not like the current management of JFP & the writing is horrible and I’m finding the show boring, most likely will stop watching because all my favorite actors are leaving or getting fired.

Braeden can be difficult (we all know that)..but I KNOW that wherever “JFP” (Darling that she is,and hated by many) is..and every show she has wrangled her way into,has turned to discension,and catastrpohy with firings,and storyline problems.She has a name unprecedented in the industry. I can only imagine if Jeanne Cooper were still around how this will have played out. I have never met “MM”, so I can’t make a comment about him. Y&R is really boring. But,really,after 40 years,where do You go with “story” material. “JFP” is going to put the ax right in it. And, in my humble opinion, Jerry Douglas should have never been “killed off” the show. He’s right. Bill Bell would be turning over in his grave.

I posted that exact comment somewhere last week…if Bill Sr. could see what’s happening to his creation, he’d be turning summer salts in his grave. Would have been nice though, if Jerry hadn’t jumped on the band wagon to trash Michael Muhney. I’m tired of everyone speculating and give the fans facts. I want to hear from TPTB the REAL reason MM was fired and if it was for his attitude, then what steps were taking to correct that before he was fired. Just like Bill Sr. warned Braeden & Bergman what would happen to BOTH OF THEM if they ever got into it again. That was all it took for them to never go there again.

John Abbott was killed off, so Jerry doesn’t have to be concerned with retribution other than never having a recurring role on Y&R again. But what do you expect him to say, he works for CBS! In the “couple” (2) times Jerry claims to have observed EB & MM on the set getting into A LOT of unnecessary battles, he fails to elaborate what those battles were about…..only that he felt they were unnecessary. Then he goes on to describe MM as “high strung” and “emotional”. It sounds like he has based more of his negative opinion regarding MM from the word of his old buddy, Eric Braeden, rather than his own observation.

Winners of People’s Choice Awards said it best this past week, “I have to thank the fans for giving me the opportunity to do what I love.” It’s the fans who have made Y&R the #1 soap for the past 25 years. This scandal is dividing the cast and the fans. And if enough of the fans hold true to boycotting Y&R after Jan 30th, you very well may see the death of Y&R.

I, for one, have been a fan since the show’s inception. I have dedicated 3/4 of my life to this show. This isn’t a joke to the fans. We want answers and we’re not going to back down until we get those answers or results one. Some of us idolize the actors/characters. And with so many of them coming out with their ugly tweets and comments, it is changing how we feel about the entire show. It would be best if the cast members remained impartial, at least publicly. Attacking fans who have idolized them is not going to help them keep their job! If I were an actor on that show, I’d start looking for another job for I truly feel its days are numbered.

It was not an easy decision for me to decide to cease from watching Y&R after Jan. 30th. It started with the firing of MM a week before Christmas and now with the way the scandal has been mishandled, the rumors, the cast coming out and scolding fans and back-biting other cast members…..well I cannot watch this show anymore knowing how ugly that actors have been to the fans when we’re the reason they even has a job! You want to talk about egos, the cast members who are speaking out taunting disgusted, grieving fans who have professed to stop watching, well we’ll see how much of an ego these cocky cast members have when the ratings plummet and they’re facing unemployment. So I guess we’ll have to hide, watch and see how this scandal plays out and how it affects the existence of Y&R!

Jill Phelps is doing irreparable damage to Y&R and Sony or Cbs better step in real quick…

This entire situation is a PR nightmare! The network, Sony, or someone needs to release a revised statement. Where are the PR pros? We learned of the cancellation of online AMC not from Prospect Park, but from stars Debbi Morgan & Cady McClain. Now, we have all these Y&R cast members and personnel — both past AND present — weighing in on this situation. Jill Farren Phelps, in addition to being inept, is now a coward for letting this whole thing twist in the wind. At the very least, the services of a PR crisis agency should have been retained.

Wait! So your trashing Muhney in this interview and then yesterday you’re taking to twitter asking for fans to tweet Jill Farren Phelps to plead your case to keep your character on Y&R?? Because apparently, the writers don’t want to use you and your character anymore?
Whoa…not on your life John! Karma’s a great thing huh?! You trash talk your fellow actors in an interview – don’t expect fans to back you now in your dilemma! You owe MM an apology. He’s never stabbed you in the back in an interview. It’s called mutual respect! Respect is a 2 way street! Was MM perfect? Absolutely not! But neither are any of the remaining actors left on Y&R. So MM fans won’t be begging JFP for you…sorry 🙁

Why is it that dead people get to talk?
