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!

Lovely!!! That is what true friends do they do not judge they stand by you through thick and thin !

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 drink refill, NOT an interesting story line. Summer without PHYLLIS is a BORER……

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.

WoW, that was very touching. F U, Phelps!!!!!

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.

That’s a very touching video. You have to admire her class in this situation.

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 Y and R and it was all because of you and Muhney giving it your all. The writing was horrible but the acting was amazing. Thank you for four years of memories.

Great tribute. I will remember the memories.

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! 🙂

the song fit the day..
luv Michael, hope to see him soon in another soap 🙂

It’s pretty much unanimous. This situation stinks.

Love the tribute Sharon very classie instead of firing the actor maybe fire the writers because some of these story lines is for the dogs or cats but they may not want it either.Well good Luck Michael M. Yand R’s BIG LOST!!!!!!!

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 that is the stable players, since the loss of Jeanne Cooper, tooooo much change!! I’m really going to have to think about watching this show that I have watched for 30 years.

I agree wholeheartedly!

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.. ;-(

Love it!!! Love MM!!! Will miss seeing him!!! Thanks Sharon… well done!!!

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!!!

Y&R made a HUGE mistake!!! One I hope they will regret for a very long time!!!

That is very nice. I still wish Sharon and Adam had had a baby. Will miss him.

Michael , it’s being great knowing u laughing , crying , running and what u did i was right there with u . i hope to see u in another soap or film which ever one take’s u first ..// MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR TOO YOUR FAMILY AND GOD BLESS U , OH BY THE WAY THANK U FOR BEING . TO ME A GREAT ACTOR…////

You will be very much missed. I really enjoyed you playing the part of Adam wish they would change there mine. the show won’t be the same without you. Hope whatever show you are on next will watch it for sure. Good luck to you and your family.

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 MM.I watched some of him and he is a big talent. Sharon is a friend. a real true one. If she gets her walking papers we will know why and who!

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 a couple of decent actors to watch – why do you keep screwing the show up ? I’m not watching after Muhney’s final airdate. You’ve fired one too many good actors for this viewer. Maybe it’s time to cancel this mess of a show you’ve made eh CBS ?
I’m not loyal enough – or no, better yet, stupid enough to keep watching the crap you are airing. Do you not like having talent on your show ? Let’s just put this show out of it’s misery. It is painful to watch – hell – as it is- I fast forward through half of it anyway as do most people.
I think this show has run it’s course.

it really sucks that you are removing Adam and Phyllis out and the 25 yr thing that you talk about will soon end if you are taking the good people out. and hell please change victor’s role it is getting tired some.

I hope this will be to Michael’s advantage in the long run. He made Adam the strongest character on the show. Most talented actor on Y&R.

Sad he is leaving. Heard some nasty rumors but no proof either way. Loved his acting s far as Adam. Sorely missed he will be. Awesome job ms Sharon case, hope u r not next.

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 that they made the lame-brained decision to let Billy Miller go.

Through making this video, Sharon Case has shown that she’s a class act (as others have already stated). Both Sharon and Michael are/were two of my favorite actors on this show, so I really hope that they don’t make a very bad mistake of firing her in the next while. If so, they’ll definitely have very few viewers left, which would be too bad, as a number of the other actors are also very good, but I think people will just get tired of the very poor decisions made by Y & R’s management.

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….

So mad, can’t even think about it. Michael your a great actor. Sorry y@r wont be watching if adam is gone. Sharon c. Beautiful video. Hope they change thete mind.

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.

will not be watching Y@R anymore!!! Michael Muhney is a fantastic actor. The show will be losing a real winner. I can only see bigger and better projects for him in the future. I will continue to follow his career. Can’t imagine what he did!! KILL someone’s mother?

I just can’t believe it he was the maine person that kept the show exciting to watch. I have been watching this soap all my life .but I think I will find another soap to watch. Why do you always get read of the good actors?

Steve Burton can’t act. Jessica Collins is too old. Abbie and trayvon, WTF!Chancellor goes to a third tier character. Sugarcane and lilly. Sony should sell y & r to cable rather than kill I. Michelle Stafford, Billy Martin, Mike Muhney, Jeanne Cooper. R.I.P. Y&R

Nice job Sharon! True friendship! MM so glad I got to see u on set. I’m in D, hope to see u around!

Thank you Sharon. You are a true friend!

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!

I absolutely hate the character Sharon Newman and this proves that Sharon Case and she are one in the same..Love Adam though and Michael Muhney’s leaving is tragic…

Bravo for Sharon Case for making that video for Michael Muhney whom I love as Adam! Thank you Sharon Case!

Michael Muhney is the best and I also believe there was a lot of jealousy from the other cast male stars who wanted him ousted. No Young and Restless for me after Michael Muhney last episode! I think there is more to the story we are getting! Rehire Michael Muhney

Thank you Sharon Case! You are a true friend of Michael Muhney!

I applaud Sharon .. That what friends are for .. And she is truly a great Lady.. Michael you are blessed to have such a treasured friend … Michael so many of watched Y & R cos of YOU .. We loved to hate you but we hated to love you cos you played Adam so brilliantly . You are a remarkable actor and the show will not have the same interest at all now that you will be leaving . You are rhe best. with Billy going, Michelle gone and Mrs C .. It just ain’t the same. I love you too Sharon you are a amazing also …. What next for Y & R .. You will be loosing a lot of fan!! All the best Michael and blessings to Sharon for showing what a friend is …

What a lovely video. Can’t believe what is being reported as to the reason for his firing and sincerely hope it isn’t true. He was the best character on the show.

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

I have watched Y&R since it has been on the air!!!! Love this show!!!!” I can not believe that their letting all these class actors go. What’s going on? It was a sad day when they posted Jeannie Cooper she was super special made u want to watch the show she knew how to kick butt and take names!!!! Then we lose Phyllis. And Billy who is a class actand now they fire Michael Muhney what’s wrong with Y&R. There will never be anyone that will replace Michael Muhney whether you bated him or loved him he knew how to play the part. A GREAT GREAT ACTOR. Y&R don’t be surprised if your the next show to go down and then The Bold And The Beautiful will be no. 1. MICHEAL MUHNEY hope Bold and The Beautiful will make u and offer!!!’ GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!!!!

I absolutely love this!! Both of u r smokin HOTT!!! And r both strong as gas!! That song was very befitting of the moment!!!

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!!!!!!!!

Very nice tribute! I really hope there is some forgiveness if someone did something wrong and everyone involved will have peace . To Sharon , you have always been one of my favorite actresses and MM has been a great asset to the show . So sorry to see him go.

Love this tribute! Says it all.

Thank you for showing your support for Michael Muhney with this lovely tribute. You are a true friend.

I have really enjoyed watching you develope Adam as a complicated man. I will miss you and that wonderful smile you have. I hope the best for you in your career and personal life. Good luck to you.

Mark Consuelos Celebrates One-Year Anniversary as Co-Host of ‘Live’ Alongside Kelly Ripa

Today, April 17th marks a full-year since Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo, All My Children) took over the co-hosting duties of ‘Live” alongside his wife, and longtime co-host, Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley, All My Children).

Consuelos replaced Ryan Seacrest who are six seasons decided to be back on the west coast full-time. For Consuelos, now having the opportunity to work off of Ripa as co-hosts has been something of adjustment for him, but viewers have been eating it up.

Live with Kelly and Mark has remained the No. 1 entertainment talk show on television over the past year, growing 3% in average total viewers to 2.23M per episode.  It is also the most-watched daytime talk show in the last year in key demos of women 18-49 and women 25-54. All of this, since the real-life marrieds teamed-up.

Speaking with Deadline, Kelly Ripa shared why the two are gelling on-screen, “I do think that there is something very possibly relatable about our relationship. We have disagreements like a normal couple, and we’re not afraid to let them unfold on the air and in front of America, and I think people find a lot of themselves in that.”

Mark weighed in how he has progressed as a host, and what he could improve at, sharing, “I’d like to get better at my interviewing skills. I’d like to get better at reading a teleprompter…I think I’m getting better at throwing to commercial. The other day in the middle of the show as we go to commercial, my sign off was ‘See you guys around.’ I mean, the show wasn’t over. The most obvious thing to say would be, ‘We’ll be back right after this.’ But I just said, ‘See you around.’ So we went to commercial and one of the producers (goes) ‘What was that?’ I don’t know… So for the next few sign offs, as a joke, I’d say ‘See you around.’ We got a kick out of it.”

Meanwhile, Kelly has given huge props to Mark, “I find Mark utterly compelling, really interesting, super funny, and he’s bold in a way like nobody else. He says what’s on his mind. If he’s thinking it, he says it.  I’ve done this a long time and oftentimes people will adjust their natural personalities to pander to what they think the audience wants to hear, and Mark will tell people what he thinks, and he doesn’t care if it’s not a popular opinion. It gives him an edginess that I think is really missing in the landscape today. Everybody’s so afraid to say anything, and Mark is unafraid to say exactly what he’s thinking.”

In a statement, Debra O’Connell, President News Group and Networks, Disney Entertainment shared, We could not be more thrilled with how Mark has seamlessly joined the show family as permanent co-host. His undeniable charisma and his and Kelly’s natural chemistry are evident as they deliver the laughs and smiles to our viewers each morning. We are incredibly proud of how Live has continued to evolve and that the audience is responding so enthusiastically.”

So, do you think Mark Consuelos is the best co-host his wife Kelly Ripa has ever had on ‘Live’? How would you say he is doing as co-host after one full year on the job? Comment below.
