I LOVED HAYDEN TANK’S THE CHILD ADAM ,I QUIT WATCHING WHEN BRAD DIED,I returned to Y& R when I heard that they were bringing a adult Adam ,but didn’t like CE’S ADAM ,Returned when MM came ,loved him ,I also really like JH ,,,THERE IS NO WAY THEY WILL BE LUCKY FOR THE 4TH TIME ,NO WAY COULD I SEE AIDEN TURNER AS ADAM ,THEY NEED TO KEEPJH OR BRING MM BACK ,IF ADAM ‘S WRITTEN OFF ,I COULDN’T BARE TO SEE A CETAIN ACTOR WHOM I WON’T NAME ,WITHOUT JH OR MM,

I love him to and I do hope he does both shows.That way we can see more of this great guy.

Character

Very true. Braeden couldn’t tolerate Muhney’s talent & character overshadowing his tired act that could be done by a wax dummy. The show has suffered ever since Phelps fired Muhney & Miller.

No Where in the Michael Fairman Interview did Justin say “I’M LEAVING Y&R’ Why, because he is on contract! Y&R does not comment on an actors status either. He did say he was going to be doing ‘both’ for a little while. He also said he does not make those decisions! Actors can go from network to network these days whereas years ago they could not. No one knows how popular this primetime show will get and they do get cancelled all the time. Makes no sense to leave a steady paying daytime job for a primetime show that no one knows how long it will last. If I have any further questions, I will ask my very close friend who knows people ‘higher up in the food chain’ than the actors, which I think I just might do.

I don’t ‘Know it all’, but Actors CAN DO OTHER SHOWS! Tristan Rodgers and Eileen Davidson to name a couple. Oh, lets not forget Hunter King who plays Summer. Darn it, I forgot one Steve Burton. General Hospital lost him and Tristan because they refused to let them do other projects while under contract. Y&R’s gain General Hospital’s loss! My very close friend answers my questions like this. So, you have a marvelous day Frankie! I know what I know and I’m not going to explain it to people who refuse to be civil to others.

So true. Justin Hartley is doing Primetime on NBC, not CBS. A competing network isn’t going to let an actor appear on an ongoing basis on another network. BTW, CBS wouldn’t let Billy Miller persue other jobs, so Jill Farren Phelps let him go.

J Beer Thank you for telling me. I did watch those movies but I thought they came after his first MI appearance. However J.H. still makes me think of someone like him who will make it big & pick his own movies.

Justin is a key player in the new shows ensemble cast. I dont see how he could do Y&R full time. Adam is a full time character. I hate to see him go but NS would be awesome. He could handle the Mustache!

I knew this would come up! I agree but you know C, we are asked to accept so many different scenarios on Y&R, this wouldnt be the worst! One of THE worst was Marco. I had fun with seeing Peter Bergman loosen up but there is NO way Marco is an exact duplicate of Jack and there is no way no one in his family, especially Phyllis wouldnt know Marco wasnt Jack. UNLESS, they practice Amish sex?

@Timmm.
LOL, Timmmy. You got me….What is Amish sex? I’m serious. I have no clue how the Amish do it. HaHaHa.
Anyway, I remember we two talking about how could a woman (Phyllis) be soooo intimate with her man and not know the difference? That was dumb, you’re right, albeit Phyllis did notice a change in ‘sexual habits and protocol’……Marco, in the guise of Jack was much friskier.
And, yes, we are to do a double and triple take many times on soaps….including sorased kids. But, I don’t know if I have ever encountered this situation before; where siblings’ ages are ‘out of order’.
Nonetheless, again, you are right. TPTB will do whatever they please, if it suits their purpose.

@Rose.
Believe me, Rose, you would have loved Billy Miller as Billy A……No resemblance, in character, to Jason Morgan.
I have said this a million and one times, no matter how rotten Billy Abbott became; we just accepted him, regardless. Jason Thompson’s Billy falls waaaay short of BM’s magnetic and enigmatic representation of the character.
The spoiled brat, whiny, recalcitrant man-child behavior nuBilly is displaying, is not well executed by JT. He is not very charismatic, in my opinion. No sex appeal. Coupled with Gina? Even worse.

Is Nick Stabile younger than 39? I remember when Justin and Lindsay took a family leave from Passions when Isabella was born and Nick Stabile was Justin’s temporary replacement.

@SiteAdvocate61.
I see your point. Stabile is about seven years older than Hartley. However, personally, I think Justin has a youthful appearance. Not Nick S.
I suppose if Nick were to dye his hair….hmmmm, maybe. Too much of a salt and pepper hue to his hair, as it is.

If Michael Muhney returned to Y&R as Adam Newman, the internet would blow up. The show would see a surge of interest from so many fans that have turned it off. CBS would see a ratings bonanza too.

Celia/k/Kay…Wasn’t watching Y&R when Michael was on. Came on board about the time of the “scandal” so I have no vested interest in him. So I’m okay with Justin. BUT as “boring” and lack lustre as life can be for a GH doctor at times, I way preferred Patrick at GH. Now I’m playing catchup on Billy. But I do know I don’t like how they are writing Billy for Patrick. Don’t like the character very much.

I know Timm just mad that Pratt has changed every character no offense to JH he seems like a lovely person not his fault about the writers should not have taken it out on him

Hey Celua u have been mean towards JH he can’t help they watered down the character I will back off but MM is nit coming back too much bad blood went down but no we don’t need another recast . I miss the edge and he had a lot of history with Sharon and they never explored that but hey if they are happy with CO their business. But to base a story around a 75 year old who mumbles thrust his lubes bad businee

I have no clue what you are implying, Kay. LOL.
I love Justin Hartley. I have since his PASSIONS days. I was giving an analogy. Being mean? I gave my ‘take’ on their individual performances and how excellent they both are, albeit in a different way.
I suppose you misread, dear friend. There is not one word I said about Justin which justifies what you have said to me.
Sorry, I wasn’t more specific. Later.

That’s a great premise, Timmmy. Just keep Adam in jail for a while. But, the story will lose stamina after a while.

MM is not coming back! There were many things that happened ‘Behind the scenes’ that the public does not know about and no i’m not filling people in..

Oh brother, here comes the slander and smears by a trashy gossip monger who trolls the internet. Amazing how gullible people are, then readily spread lies. What garbage.

@Donna.
Yes, much went on behind the scenes. But, we were not privy to anything then, nor are we now.
There is something inherently wrong to jump on the band wagon; especially when none of us was there.
This is condemning someone to the guillotine without knowing the facts. It’s the 21st Century, not the Dark Ages.
Michael Muhney is a married man with young children whose lives have been turned upside down. We have no right to say one negative word. I hope he and his family are in a good place. And, I wish he could come back, albeit on shaky grounds. But the prospect of a return is null and void. I think it would be like reaching for the stars.
This sensitive situation is something with which is hard to reconcile. It will happen when two Sundays come together….which is never. Pride does come into play.
I try to respect other people’s private lives; especially when their dirty laundry is publicly aired. Not fair.

Too funny, but true, Timmmbo!!!!

Everybody needs to get past MM I do not know what went down but several actors lost my respect you don’t kiss and tell as they say but they did the escalated a internet gossip and hurt both parties in the process. Maybe we need to shelve the character for a long while I am truly sick of Adam and Chelesea the repeat conversations are tiresome. We get it your friends off screen who gives a bloody hell

Great to hear about Outlander. Yea!

There is a GILMORE GIRLS revival starting in November (Netflix). I can’t wait!!!!
….supposed to have been taken place in the Hartford, CT area (then, and now), which I know very well. Loved the show….I will love it more as a more ‘mature’ woman….LOL.

Or maybe Burgess Jenkins Ha ha ha!

That’s right!!! Forgot about POLDARK. YUP…..hot, hot, hot!!!!
