Agree wholeheartedly. It’s heartwrenching to watch the “new Billy”. I’m sure the new Phyllis and new Adam will be an equal disappointment

i totally agree with heartwrenching, i was hoping that MM would be coming back, he ever did nothing to deserve this , he said it himself.. i hope the big wigs at CBS will reconcenter there decisions and surprise us all and let MM back on the show

So true. I have been watching since they showed the hands hoping it was Michael back at his game. This producer is so stupid she’s unreal. If Michael came back so would his fans & more. A new cast for Michael? Good reason to watch B & B instead. Lets face it CBS will never reconsider and the newbe will never cut it. Who the hell wants to see Lily continue acting like a 10 yr. old and lately all we get is Summer who can’t act & Austin.

Lol. U just want Y and R to fail cause they dont want him back. The shiw will continue on because no actor runs that soap!

My gosh your so smart it’s hard to keep up with you. Your right I would love to see the show fail. I would love to see the likes of Eric B. Melody T.S. and Joshua M. unemployed, & I’m sure at some point I will not because they are bad at acting but because without any evidence one way or another they took it upon themselves to stick their noses in. As far as I’m concerned it was jealousy because back then Michael M., Billy M. along with Amilia &Melissa C.E. had the show and the complete attention of… Read more »

Ditto for Lucky. Nooooooo…

So, Rebecca, you don’t know anything at all about this actor’s talents or abilities, yet you emphatically are against him playing AJ or Lucky……interesting

@IowaMan…I know two things…and this is where loyal fans come raining down on me…no matter! He was accused of sexist/sexual harassment. That was never negated. So while it hasn’t been proven…it hasn’t been proven otherwise. I still believe that ANYONE…in the public eye or the private sector…who is accused of such an act would fight tooth and nail to have their name cleared, and would sue for defamation of character. I see no logic to it being settle privately as someone suggested above. Now, I’m not saying he definitively did it, but while there’s doubt…it’s not someone I would support.… Read more »

Just a correction: he was never accused of anything–sexual harassment or anything else (or at least, we don’t know), other than by gossip-mongers and scandal-speculators on the Internet. There were RUMORS that he had been, by a coworker, but to my knowledge, even those rumors were never confirmed by any reliable source. So it could just as easily be that you did not see him “fighting tooth and nail to clear his name” because there was nothing to clear. And if he’s telling the truth that he came close to being hired back on Y&R, you can rest assured he… Read more »

Thank you for the clarification Michael (not Fairman). I didn’t mean he was officially accused as in court…but the accusations were flying from somewhere. From what I recall TMZ reported it first…but …I’m not sure why they latched on to it. Believe it or not they’re usually pretty accurate. I guess it’ll remain a who…if anyone…dunnit!

Rebecca1, the accusations came from an anonymous source who posted a message in the Soaps.com Y&R message area. The person also posted on another web site, but refused to say how they supposedly got their information, refused to verify their information, then turned around and stated that Mr. Muhney allegedly groped Ms King a SECOND time, in front of Max Ehrich (Fenmore). If any of these alleged allegations were true, don’t you think someone from the upper echelon at CBS, Sony or Y&R would have said something? The ONLY thing that was EVER stated by an executive of CBS Daytime… Read more »

Honestly, who cares what Steve Farren Burton thinks? Maybe JFP does, but that’s it. It’s none of his business who plays Jason on GH.

#HAHA STEVE FARREN BURTON!!!

JFP is Steve’s Guru!

Timmm I totally agree. Billy Miller might supersede Steve who I love btw. I just think Billy has more depth; two different Actors for sure!

If it wasn’t true why didn’t MM sue anyone for defamation of character?

Actually, EB confirmed in an interview that he and MM did get into shouting matches and fisticuffs on set. rebecca1: I wouldn’t be surprised if MM negotiated a private settlement with CBS/Sony with regards to the negative press he endured as a result of the false rumors.

Doe a Deer–I think Su00 must be thinking of the fist fight which transpired between Peter Bergman and Eric Braeden.

According to an interview that EB gave AFTER the alleged rumors of groping came out, he stated that he and MM had “come to fisticuffs” after an argument about a scene. From what I understand, there was never any fisticuffs involved, but Muhney has been outspoken about EB not saying his lines but ad libbing and other actors having to wonder where they are in the scene. The bit about them fighting, however, seems to have come about AFTER this whole groping rumor, and AFTER EB had stated that he admired MM, thought him a good actor and so on… Read more »

I agree. They don’t give a damn about what the fans want. If they did, Summer (who can’t act) would be replaced and MM would be back at his role. CBS does not care about anything but the rating and once the contract is up hopefully the show will hit rock bottom and lets see how all the big mouths like MTS & EB along with JM & others feel then when they hit unemployment.

Oh, he said it on Twitter!! Well everyone knows that you can’t lie on twitter or other forms of social media. If it’s on the internet, it has to be true.

Just like Abraham Lincoln said ‘Don’t trust everything you read on the Internet’

su0000, I’d bet you are right on the money. EB treated MM like garbage, then slandered him in that nasty online interview in January. Braeden is THE WORST & AN EGOMANIAC. Why Muhney would even consider going back just shows how much he loved playing Adam Newman. The audience is the biggest loser in this whole mess.

MM was not in a position to ask for stipulations. I don’t think Y&R ever intended to ask him back. His reputation precedes him; ask his Vetonica Mars co-stars.

If MM had stayed and EB was the one to go, would that sentence have ended with a smiley face? How are you able to post the faces? Is some kind of app used to turn certain keys to the faces?

Eric earned his status BUT he should have realized that having MM there would be best for the show and these two actors could explode in their scenes and make memories!

Judi, his Veronica Mars co-stars have nothing but good things to say about him. Once again, you’re reading salacious rumors and lies…
wolfy

Apparently his VERONICA MARS co-stars must think he’s OK since he’s going to make an appearance with them in Sydney, Australia at OZ Comic Con. Funny how people believe all the bullshit they read on trash sites like TMZ and Celebrity Dirty Laundry. People are gullible as hell.

Here, Here @SuOOOO “…that proves he committed no crime nor bobby pull lol ” I am so over…. Eric Braedon…. he , will be the ever lingering reason … Y&R FAILS I will always acknowledge: Jeanne Cooper, Michelle Stafford, Billy Miller, Liz Hendrickson, and Mr. Michael Muhney as for Eileen Davidson… she’s gold…. be that as it may : it still stumps… why she thinks Y&R is a better fit? that’s a memoir i’d like to read …. let alone she takes money for a housewives gig? woah! ’nuff said. she was pure GOLD in Salem the soap world is… Read more »

Judi…if Michael Muhney actually wanted to go back to Y&R, then I stand corrected on the first sentence in my posting.

Thank you.

Take care, Judi. XOXOXOXOXO

you are one side woman!! if that was the case ,they wouldn’t even call him! if anything he has been very forward and honest , so pls ,don’t be petty as a human being he is entitled to some respect! as an actor he deserved admiration, Y&R has never seen an actor with his talent .what ever with agree or not it happens to b the trues. is not nice to look so ignorant an petty

ANA…

First of all, I am a Michael Muhney fan. Have been since he started on Y&R; when most viewers were not.

Secondly… Sorry you’re having a bad day and have to resort to name calling. Obviously you didn’t read all of his recent tweets. “I was hopeful for a return…” ~ Muhney ~

You might be better served debating this with him.
God bless.

Of course he wanted to go back! But he was fired. I am quite sure his agent had put in many calls asking if they had changed their minds. They finally returned the agents call and said NO WAY, NO HOW ! That is the call he received. He can word it any way he wanted to on twitter. But it was NEVER going to happen! So now he is trying on his own to clear up his name. Well good Luck michael! But Your reputation precedes you.

Of course he wanted to, But according to TV guides michael Logan there were never any negotiations at all. He was never going to be rehired. He put that tweet out to make it seem as if it had been possible. NOT!!

Good heavens, folks, of COURSE he was hopeful about coming back! He didn’t ask to leave the job in the first place, he was STUNNED when they let him go (or don’t YOU read his tweets?)! If you had a job you loved, and you were told that they were letting you go (right before Christmas, BTW) so they could give the character a new face (meaning a different actor, not you anymore) and it came out of the blue since you’d just signed a two year contract less than six months beforehand, wouldn’t YOU be “hopeful” when they call… Read more »

Judi, you just are another Muhney hater. Typical comments that they had no interest in him. Well, you’re flat out wrong. They did, but couldn’t come to an agreement to terms. It’s Y&R’s audiences’ loss. The show has suffered greatly since Muhney and Miller left. Anyone who is a true fan will admit that, but of course, Judi never could.

There is no way this was going anywhere it was dead in the water in December. Think Bob Barker/Price is Right CBS paid out tons of money in lawsuits for he said she said they were not about to do that with a soap actor who had been on the show for four years. JFP should have been shown the door for her gross mismanagement of the situation. A gag order should have went out to all cast members discussing it at all. The soap press did not go with the story because they knew TMZ would. Read Lynda Hirsch’s… Read more »

Great points, k/kay! It’s all such a shame. I totally agree with you about JFP.

James…Y-E-S…AGREED!!!!! To me, Michael Muhney was THE BEST Adam Newman that Y&R ever had. If another actor is hired to play the role of Adam Newman (whenever that may be), then H-E (whoever he is) has BIG SHOES TO FILL. Bottom Line!!!!!

Take care, dude.

A-C-E-S!!!!!

k/kay…I totally agree with EVERYTHING in your posting!!!!! Yet…I have some things that I wanna say. Like… 1. I remember Bob Barker/The Price Is Right. I also remember losing count after the first 3 lawsuits. 2. That NIGHTMARISH JFP shouldn’t have been hired as Executive Producer of Y&R at all!!!!! 3. Yes…a gag order should have been issued to the cast members of Y&R. But, eventually, those Y&R cast members probably would have found a way (or whatever) to ignore and/or to get past the gag order. 4. I have AT LEAST 4 or 5 female friends who TOTALLY L-O-V-E… Read more »

DAYS is on NBC! He was fired by CBS and Y&R. Sony is the parent company of DAYS and Y&R. If a deal was close for his return to Y&R, the only thing standing in the way could have been certain cast members whom do not work at DAYS!!!

Days of our Lives…No EB or HK …better for Michael Muhney!!!

Days of our Lives…No JFP….easy choice for Michael Muhney!!!

Days of our Lives…drama where drama should be…in front of the camera, not behind the scenes!!!

What don’t you get about Sony Firing him? Sony Fired him & they own DOOL, They will not be hiring MM. So Hoping for that is like hoping for ice water in hell.

He can even play the harpsichord! That would actually be more entertaining than Hands clicking on his laptop.

Harry…your comment made me LMAO!!!!! Thanks!!!!! And…I think that A-N-Y translator would have a FIELD DAY trying to understand that chick…LOL!!!!!! Yep.

Take care, Harry. Peace.

from an article in own words; MM wanted EB gone.. EB said– MM wanted him off the show because he wanted to be head honcho. In MM’s words, EB was the old lion and he was the young lion. He wanted to push aside the old lion. EB and MM had a fight a shouting match, all kinds of things were said. It ended in ‘fisticuffs’ between MM and EB/a physical fist fight on set.. MM wanted EB off the show and EB wanted MM off the show.. EB said it was a campaign to get him off the show… Read more »

Or you could believe Michael Logan of TV Guide who stated that there never any negotiations. Lol.

I am going with Logan.

I love YOU’r post

You do realize that not all sexual harassment cases wind up in court actually the majority of them don’t. Most of them are hanled internally and one party is usually disnissed. As for MM still working as lomg as when he wrapped up his story while HHK wasn’t on set it can be done. As for her family not suing maybe with all of the harassment her family didn’t want to pile on more publicity by dragging this out longer. His firing may have been enough for her. When all is said and done be is gone and not coming… Read more »

Maybe he’s just playing hard to get.

The show sucks. Everybody who has watched it for the past few years knows it. The writing is just horrendous. Boring is generous, but truthfully, it is dumb and insulting. Phelps has destroyed this once great show. Thanks a lot CBS and Sony for hiring that soap killer.

I am curious as to why JFP has not cast Brandon Barash in the role. He is well liked and a FOJ and to be honest he could probably pull it off!
