Fans of Genoa City’s Shadam will in particular enjoy this heartfelt video montage and tribute put together by The Young and the Restless Sharon Case (Sharon) for her ousted former cast mate and on-screen love interest, Michael Muhney (Adam)!

For four years, Sharon and Michael spent many work days together collaborating on making the torrid and complex love story of Adam and Sharon so compelling for fans of the CBS soap opera!

When the news came down that Muhney was abruptly fired, Case (who has been a close friend of Muhney’s as well), put together this tribute which says it all about how she felt about her co-star and thanks him for four incredible years of friendship and acting chops!

Watch the tribute after the jump!  Then, let us know what you thought of it!

Not sure what the reason maybe for firing Michael but he will be sadly missed for his part on Y&R. No one can play the part as well as he does. He and Chelsea have some real chemistry between them on the show that is amazing and makes the show romantic. I was so happy to see that they were finally getting back together!

I cannot believe they would let adam go and KEEP summer. If there was an issue then Hunter King should have been terminated. Summer-Hunter King is a bore with NO story. BRING ADAM BACK, this show survives because of the VIEWERS and WE WANT ADAM BACK, get rid of hunter, lilly, cain, neal, and that whole snore bore……Trust me this show will not last without Adam, Adam makes the other characters story lines……You made a bad mistake Y&R for keeping Hunter, she must be related to the show, as she cant act, she is a filler when you get your… Read more »

I had seen this and thought it was a wonderful gesture to Muhney from Sharon Case. I have to wonder how much crap she is getting for standing by his side.

For everyone’s sake I hope that his dismissal was for something that will not effect him – or anyone else – long term.

Beautiful tribute. Sharon Case is a lady with a lot of class! Kudos to her for “standing by” her fellow castmate and friend. Just wish the rest of the cast did the same. All the best to Michael Muhney in his future.

You can tell a lot of love went into making that tribute– a lot of personal and candid moments that aren’t scripted, just from the heart. I hope making it doesn’t get her in trouble with the people who canned him. One classy lady.

Beautiful and classy Ms. Case; thank you so much for showing us not everyone is a turncoat A kisser on the set. You could have supported Muhney privately but you put this tribute out and IMO shows me that all the nasty rumors some are salivating over is nowhere near the truth. I doubt you would be supporting this man if he did what some are alluding to. God bless you and stand strong because no doubt some of your work mates will not be too happy you are not towing the BS line. Shadam was the HOTTEST pairing on… Read more »

Beautiful! The friendship is real- and this is a sweet wonderful tribute. Life is complicated so of course there are many sides to a story- but from where I sit- losing Michael will be a HUGE loss for Y&R..his talent, his skill, his ability to make one of the most detestable characters Loveable and someone you root for…was amazing! Wish him the absolute best in his future work….we will be watching! 🙂

Thank you Michael, and Sharon Case for this great video. Nice to see MM is not the monster [to everyone] they are trying to portray him as, to justify his dismissal.

I don’t care what they say, it’s a loss for Y&R, and most definitely to their fans.

Very lovely tribute, Ms. Case! and as everyone has stated, you are a true friend for standing by your friend. I can not even express how angry I am for them firing him. I have rooted for “Adam” for years, ever since MM took over. Is there any chance that fan support will bring him back? God Bless you and MM, Y&R is in a heap of trouble right now if you ask me, they have lost or fired too many main characters, like as if they are cleaning house. Right now they should go for what they know, and… Read more »

I completely agree… this was a extreme true loss for Michael being removed from the show – – the cast of Sharon, Chelsea and Adam was the BEST… the Adam we grew to love in Michael Muhney will never be the same without him… Loved the character.. taped his last shows… wish he could come back.. ;-(

If we and Michael are lucky.. he will be snatched up quickly and we will continue to see his incredible talent and adorable face… somewhere else for a very long time!!!

Since I personnely cannot stand watching the victor show, now with S Burton, and Kill Farren Phelps. They fired a truly gifted actor. Sharon case is a class act. If you only ever have one real friend this will be it. Great video and proof everlasting they are friends. Phelps has destroyed every show I have ever watched she has been associated with. here she goes again. How long before Tristan Rogers will be dumped from his new contract, now that she made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. I personally never watch this show, never will. Good luck to… Read more »

I kept watching in spite of the lousy writing on Y and R because I had been watching the show since 1981. Several of my daughters also have been regular viewers. The only things that made Y and R watchable was some of the acting – and believe me – not too many actors are on it now that have much acting ability . You just fired the best actor on your show – Muhney . Why on earth is it that you get rid of anybody with talent ? The viewers want good writing , hey – at least… Read more »

This is such a beautiful tribute. Thanks to Sharon Case for putting it together. She’s obviously been a true friend to Michael and I’m sure she and others on the cast of Y & R will feel the loss of this gifted actor. It is really too bad that the powers that be at Y & R (or whoever it was that made the decision to fire Muhney) put trivial annoyances (or whatever reason they had for firing him) above the wellbeing of this show, for they will lose viewers as a result of his firing. It’s also too bad… Read more »

I have watched Y&R since it began. What is happening when top actors are leaving or being fired. It’s crazy! Letting Michael go is so wrong. Bring him back after “Adam” takes whatever break they believe the character should have. Michael Muhney made Adam …..Adam. It is going to be difficult to replace him. Billy Miller will also be greatly missed as is Michelle Stafford. Too much change. Thank you Sharon Case for the video tribute to your friend and fellow cast mate. Good luck Michael

Thank you, Sharon Case, for being the only cast member who showed respect for the best actor on the show.

If you love Michael Muhney as Adam and want him rehired, then contact CBS and Sony by email, phone, twitter, and online petitions to show your support for MM.

Is anyone else standing up for this actor? If he was justly fired, why not just say what he did and be done with it. Personally, I think Eric Braden is extremely arrogant and very much like his character, Victor Newman. He does not enjoy anyone being more popular than him. And Melody is on his side. Talk about art imitating life. Eric gets his way just like Victor, who never, ever, truly pays for his dastardly deeds. I wonder if a petition from the fans can help bring MM back? Just saying….

I think the song Sharon Case picked for this video says it all. She is a class act. I won’t watch any CBS. shows anymore. Will miss Sharon, Peter , Neil and Chelse. He was the best actor on the show, very gifted. I had watched since day one.

There are many incredibly huge egos on y & r. I believe Michael’s firing is nothing but jealousy on the part of those actors who have been mouthing off about him and/or a certain someone and her “unwanted attention” claim. It’s nice to know that Michael has a true friend in Sharon Case. A sad situation all around!

WOW! Great video! Didn’t like Adam at first, but grew to like him especially post-Shadam. Loved him and Chelsea. Don’t know what to believe. I can’t see her doing this video if she didn’t truly believe his innocence. Why would she stick up for him if she thought for one minute he was inappropriate with Hunter? Either the brass at YR wanted him out and created a lie or he is guilty. Too bad all around. If he did it, why haven’ t charges been filed? if he didn’t…one helluva lawsuit

Fan sites are wild and divisive to the point of banning members over this MM and HK issue. Courage and kudos to Sharon Case for stepping up to the plate for MM, in light of the fact that the alleged incident was not reported to the proper authority, and has spurred so much muckraking in the press.

Sharon did an amazing job…it actually made me cry….. no one will ever be able to replace Michael. I’ve been a faithful viewer since I could walk and besides Katherine’s untimely passing, this is the most heartbreaking news……to Michael, you will truly be missed and we will never forget you!!!!! Love you!!!!!!!!

Eva Longoria on Reprising Her Role of ‘Desperate Housewives’ Gabby : “I Would Be The First to Sign Up for a Reboot”

Just where would Gabrielle Solis be today? That was the question posed to Eva Longoria, who is on a publicity campaign for her  directorial film debut with Flamin’ Hot.

The former Desperate Housewives star spoke with Access Hollywood’s Mario Lopez, where she revealed where she thinks Wisteria Lane’s Gabby would be today. Longoria chimed in, “She’d be an influencer for sure  … she’d be a social media mogul.”

When asked if she would be down for a revival of Desperate Housewives, Longoria enthusiastically said,  “I would be the first to sign up for a reboot. I miss Gabby so much. I miss being Gabby Ruiz.”

Even though, Desperate Housewives ran from 2004-2013, since its premiere 20 years ago times have changed.  The series creator, Marc Cherry, doesn’t seem so ready to bring back Wisteria Lane.

Longoria shared, “He feels like there’s no Why now?” She added that Cherry also expressed, “What do I have to say with these characters that we haven’t already fully mined?”

Photo: Hulu

Soap fans also recall Eva played Isabella on The Young and the Restless from 2001-2003, before joining Desperate Housewives a year later. Flamin Hot, which tells the biographical story of the invention of the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos” is set for release on Hulu and Disney+ on June 9th.

GH’s Nicholas Chavez and Tabyana Ali to ‘Sprina’ Shippers: “Thank You For Not Only Being Fans, But Turning into Family”

The hottest young duo on daytime drama these days belongs to General Hospital.  The couple known as ‘Sprina’ played by Nicholas Chavez (Spencer) and Tabyana Ali (Trina), is being given plenty of non-stop intrigue and drama and romance, much to the delight of their fans, who just can’t get enough of them.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands everywhere Friday, Chavez and Ali weigh-in on all the latest developments and recent airshows including: the reading of Victor’s will, what to do about Esme and baby Ace, the action-adventure scenes in ‘Greenland’ and the Haunted Star, and most notably, that emotional leap from Trina into Spencer’s arms when he turned up alive!

Ali told SOD on her preparation for the moment: “I did a couple of jumps and held a baby, and that was about it!”

Courtesy/ABC

Chavez added, “That is my favorite ‘Sprina’ scene, Spencer is walking toward Trina and Trina breaks into a full sprint towards him, jumps into his arms and they kiss.  I’ve always wanted to do a moment like that, you know what I mean?” Ali said, “I really loved that scene, too. It was just so fulfilling.”

When addressing what each of them would like to say to their lively and constant fan base, Tabyana expressed; “I would just say we love you, we appreciate you, thank you for all of your support and thank you for not only being fans, but turning into family.”

Nick added, “I co-sign all of that. Every single word.”

B&B Alum Pierson Fodé in Consideration to be the Next ‘Superman’

This seems like it would be a great casting choice to us! According to a report in Variety, actor and model Pierson Fodé , the former Thomas Forrester of The Bold and the Beautiful, is in serious consideration to play Superman in the upcoming film Superman: Legacy.

Apparently, James Gunn told the outlet’s Senior Culture & Events Editor, Marc Malkin that, “The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has and be somebody who you want to give a hug.”

Photo: Fode IG

Gunn added his take on just who will be the newest Clark Kent/ Superman,”We have some really great choices, which I’m excited about.” Back in March, James also revealed that he will be directing the upcoming film himself.

Sources revealed to Malkin that Fodé sent in a self-tape and that Gunn liked what he saw.  Pierson played the role of B&B’s Thomas from 2015-2018 and was twice nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award during his run.

If Fodé was chosen for the Man of Steel, he would follow in the footsteps of another former daytime star, Sasha Calle (ex-Lola, Y&R) who is about to debut next week as Supergirl in the motion picture The Flash.

So, could you see Pierson as the next Clark Kent/Superman? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
