OOOH I LOVE Abby! Sharon is the only favorite of mine left! Why don’t they kill off the girl who is so bad at acting Chelsea instead???

i knew as soon as the new regime took over they would be getting rid of actors in massive numbers………….this is just unreal!

Let’s get real people. This show is doomed and no one can save it. It is really sad because back in the day((William Bell,creator/writer), it was the best soap on the planet. And Bold and Beautiful was # 2!

Y&R has gotten awful lately and this is just the latest. If Harmony goes next, I won’t be sad as quite frankly her and Neil bore the crap out of me. What really has me tuning out Y&R though is the dragged out stories (Paul’s trial, Victor missing, Phyllis’ history rehash, etc. All these stories have been taking too long to resolve with no end in sight. Oh and why does the show insist certain characters have the same conversations over and over again? Like how many times must I see Michael demanding the truth a million times from various characters? Currently his fav repeat offender is Ronan, asking him over and over why he is helping Phyllis! UGH!

More and more lately I am changing the channel from Y&R cause the show has gotten so dull. I find Judge Alex more entertaining LOL.

A few more comments-glad Genie Francis was let go cause she was wasted on Y&R and I hope GH entices her back with a great story. Don’t want Drucilla back cause her big mouth and awful loud fashion tastes always annoyed me before and no doubt would again if she came back. Y&R needs to step up the pace and learn to end storylines before the audience falls asleep or changes the channels from boredom of waiting for them to end.

my only comment…..If you are a blonde female on YnR…..your best move is to make an appointment with the hairdressers on your show ASAP. A dark brown/black head is “now in charge’….

Abby can be irritating, but should the character be shown the door, I don’t think so. There are other characters who have not caught on, who should have been dismissed before Genie and Marcy. JFP is at it again!!

This is the first cut I don’t agree with.

DUMB DUMB MOVE. I love Marcy/Abby. The character adds a lot to the show. There are so many other characters I’d cut before Abs.

Guessing Carmine is also out the door.

Jill is slaughtering Y & R she best not touch any of the older generation as she is known to do…

the bloodbath has begun!!!!

The cast needs paring. Budegtary issues aside, there are just too many players on the canvas. Y&R once played out without Newmans and Abbotts. Once upon a time, they were the new families. Perhaps JFP and company have a new family unit planned to come to power in Genoa City. Or the show will make major use of core characters and keep them very busy. Fall will bring winds of change to Y&R, it seems. And I know it will cause lots of buzz here. Are you ready for that Michael?

Also: I think the liberal SORAS-ing of the younger generation proved detrimental. too muc, too fast, I guess. Y&R missed the boat on developing some serious and compelling teen storylines. Stories and experiences we as viewers would have to build our relationships with these younger characters. Just because they show up one day as an adult with the name Abbott and Newman is no guarantee we should care about them. They are as much strangers to us as anyone else.

Well it’s not like they’ve been giving her much story or screentime lately. It’s a surprise, but not that much of a surprise. Others should go before her, just based on sheer history and connection to the canvas, but I won’t lose sleep over this.

Best of luck to the actress.

I hate to see anyone unemployed, but Abby was totally useless.

It’s like Dumping KS as Maxie. JPH is STRIKING. Hope Abby takes off with Carmine. Victor would Freak.

i thought she would make a great sarah roberts on oltl hmmmm maybe gh now.

This is a stupid move. This is the first cut I don’t agree with. Marcy is the best young actress they have. she was great as Lizzie on Guiding Light also. This makes me scared of who else JFP plans to off!

Hopefully one of the other three shows will be smart and swoop her up soon!

Ditto on the Eden and Kyle remark. They add nothing to the canvas. Really sorry to see Marcy go.

A bit shocked by this!!! But oh well!

I think Marcy did an outstanding job as the brash and sassy Abby! Going to miss seeing her; she was always so unpredictable and brought a LOT of life to that character. I just hope they don’t let that hunky Marco Dapper go now!! Y&R needs that eye candy!!

The Abbotts: were always my favorite. the lone Jack…. it’s kinda sorta like not enough now. back to just Jack. course, there’s Billy. but, no John, Mamie, Ashley, Traci, Abby.

I’m glad she’s gone, her character was annoying, too bad the carmine guy has to leave with her.

marcy rylan being let go is a tragedy. she is a wonderful actress. poor debbi morgan and genie francis i will miss them dearly. someone should poison jill pharren phelps coffee. she is turning into a witch. jill is a coward. what a stupid woman. why don’t you fire daisy eden kyle. i heard there is more firings. without marcy rylan i may not watch young and the restless again. jill pharren phelps almost killed general hospital. now she wants young and the restless cancelled. i hope they fire jill pharren phelps very soon.

This is a big disappointment. I love Marcy, and thought “Abby” added the spice and unpredictability that you can enjoy on soaps.

As talented as she is, I know she can find other work, but I will really miss her on Y&R, if I continue to watch much longer.

Good luck and best wishes, Marcy!

to let abby go and let others stay that do not provide what abby brings to the soap just do not make any sense what so ever.

Kyle is quite awful. The actor is weakand ineefectual. Eden offers nothing and frankly left with all victor this program will be useless in its redundancy

OH NO! not Abby. She was a great actor. She should have never been cut.

Maybe she could be a recast for Melanie on DOOL with Molly Burnet leaving.

disgrace, the new team is getting rid of the best of the best. Loved Abby, Debbie Morgan, J landon and most of all Genie Francis. Silly line, budget cuts, Guess I need to to take a budget cut, stop watching it and save a little electricty. Bad move but we were all waiting for this to happen. She’ll ruin this show like she has all the others. Thanks be she is out of GH and it is GREAT now.

Y&R Execs …this is ridiculous! Marcy Rylan is a great actress …and she brought lots of fun and her own sense of style to the show! If you want to make cuts …cut the crappy Sharon storyline …we’re over it …boring! Paul’s storyline …is dragging a bit and that needs to get some fire underneath it. Eileen Davidson should have never been cut from the show. They’ve tried different “Ashley’s” over the years …but nobody owned the character like Eileen! The Kyle-Eden shag-fest is getting a little old …and how about her memory by the way! And now I suppose Daisy isn’t going to remember either?! If the writers don’t pick up their socks on this show …I just might forget to watch Y&R … and turn to General Hospital instead!

HI! As a ‘Fervent ” viewer for almost20yrs, I was soooo “surprised & sad as many of my “friends, that Abby has left the show…
We thought that she was “scouted” for a MOVIE” as she is just “gorgeous” looking. She gave that ” pizazz, you viewers, young and Not so old enjoy seeing.. My husband who is in his late 60’s got a ” kick” seeing her.. I personally thought that just her “young beautiful look, would bring in lots of ” younger viewer”… Well, if no one wants her on soap, I hope she will become a BIG STAR MOVIE MAKER…
Thanks for reading me & many of my friends from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

If we are doing cast cuts get rid of the actors who should be an embarrassment like Finn, Neal, pity party Nikki (how much longer do we have to watch her revolting drinking and whinning) oh and lets not forget Lavonne Winters. Horrible actors….lets give someone else a try! Please! It isn’t that the stories are not interesting it is that they are such a waste of time. Who wants to watch bad acting. Put them on a plane with a crash where they are permanently dead.

I loved the old Abey Newman, I think Y and R is making a huge mistake! They are bringing on all these new characters, some story lines are weak and boring! Hopefully won’t get rid of Billy and Victoria, I also love Chelsea, Dylan and Avery! Hopefully Y and R won’t forget the older characters that got them to forty years!

I totally love you as Abby Newman, you were the best, your personality that came through for the wild and wacky Abby was fantastic your a great actress and no one will ever be that good at the Abby Character as you. You were totally fantastic and I am saddened to hear you are gone. You will do well in this industry. Your hot, sexy, cute and damn sassy girl, keep it up and be strong. Missing you
