It only matters what he allegedly did.<br /><br />FACT: An actor is only as good as the people he's acting WITH. This is a very old adage in the business.<br /><br />FACT: Fewer people will stop watching than you think. Soap viewers are long accustomed to actors and characters coming and going--it's a feature, not a bug, of the genre. They keep watching even though it's the 2000th rendition of back from the dead, amnesia, evil twin stories, long-lost children and so on, and they have kept watching these things, for 60 years now. This is because FACT: It's the characters and stories they care about, not the actors portraying them. One actor leaving hardly ever affects that; ergo, this, too, shall pass, and their numbers will stay about the same.<br /><br />Really.Aquariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578444793424041263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286641763130571769.post-62113578008953765652014-01-14T14:32:38.206-08:002014-01-14T14:32:38.206-08:00Y&R was #1 long before Michael Muhney came alo...Y&R was #1 long before Michael Muhney came along and it went to #1 and stayed there not only because of him. Y&R is made up of a talented cast that obviously fans have said they cared about too but have shown clearly they didn't love the show -- they loved Michael Muhney. Folks need to also remember that Michael Muhney is not the 1st actor to get a banner flown over -- Daniel Goddard got one too. And folks made fun of fans then too -- the same way they did when crazy fans flew banners over the CBS studio for Big Brother. Getting a banner flown over CBS studios is not something special.<br /><br />And sorry but if you want to bring up the 1st amendment in your story in regards to fans having the right to say what they want -- then so do the actors. No they should not be held to a higher standard than soap fans should. Soap fans should have enough respect for them to be a follower on their page and not attack them over something that was not their fault and they had no control over.<br /><br />And to the fan yelling Karma Is A Bitch. Yes it is. And karma works both ways. These fans that have been attacking Hunter King -- God forbid that they are never sexually molested or a loved one is and they have to sit back and watch their family member or themselves dragged through the mud.<br /><br />Michael Muhney is not the first actor to be fired -- many have. Many of us fans have lost our favorite performers because of decisions made by executives above them. Sometimes it was their fault and sometimes it wasn't. Guess what we put our big panties on and we dealt with it. We got over it and we moved on. Guess what if we had acted the way some of you have then there would have even been a Young and the Restless around for Micheal Muhney to have worked on. <br /><br />Because Y&R has been on since 1973 and I have watched it since day 1. A great deal of my favorites have been fired or released from their contracts. It's a soap opera. It's life. Grow up and deal with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286641763130571769.post-27634648956411448282014-01-14T13:09:58.131-08:002014-01-14T13:09:58.131-08:00Agreed...

I've been mad since they broke Adam and Sharon up. They were the only two I cared about on the show anymore. Now that MM is gone, I'm waiting for them to try to fire Sharon Case. When that happens, that's it for me. I'm sorry that Hunter's name was leaked. That wasn't fair to her and will scare others from doing the same. Only in a court of law is she required to reveal herself. I bet if she had the chance to do this over, she would have tried to settle it privately. I agree about the way Brenda Dickson was treated. Oh yeah, and Jerry Douglas was on hand to trash her when she was down, too.

A show's success is based on a loyal fan base. Ignoring and disrespecting us is a NO NO. Assuming that we will not make a big deal of this is stupid. We might in the long run but it seems that you are prepared to suffer short term loss by an exodus (maybe temporary) of fans on the 30th of January. You might be surprised.

If all of the fans continued to watch the other shows that the EX Producer worked on before, those shows might still be on television. IMO, because the story lines are so depressing and drag out for so long is one of the bigger reasons that I will stop watching after 1-30-14, not to mention the loss of so many great actors. This whole fiasco over the past month has not done any good for the Y&R. Maybe a few more watched, to see what all of the noise was about, but I personally think, the the Feb sweeps will be the start of Y&R being swept out the door at CBS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286641763130571769.post-62185625157634127892014-01-12T12:57:11.809-08:002014-01-12T12:57:11.809-08:00I think there is a lot going on (probably legal is...I think there is a lot going on (probably legal issues) as to why no one is really saying what happened.

I am a very PROUD FAN of Michael Muhneys and verey proud to be in the MM movement. Everything said here was and is exactly how us fans feel..Thank you for expressing these words into all our thoughts and love for the talented actor, Michael Muhney! I agree with Bettyboo, and all she has said. I have been a fan for 40+ years and dedicated my hour to this ONE DAYTIME SOAP OPERA, but no more. I am so done with Y&R!!!! They gave up on us fans! The rude comments that were made towards us fans...where do they think their paychecks come into play with all this? BECAUSE OF US DEDICATED FANS! You would not have a job if it were not for us! Or a show! Y&R has always been my one thing I could brag about and sit and watch and really enjoy/converse with others who watched it...but now since I heard of Michaels firing I stopped wathcing it that very day!!! I was so upset that he was fired for what? MM IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN PLAY ADAM NEWMAN! He is a very talented young man with a very strong future of awesome things happening to him in his life! The story line with Adam & Chelsea and "Peanut"/ Conner! It is the best PART OF THE WHOLE HOUR! It captivated many of us fans and that is why Y&R you were ONCE RATED #1! Not any more... This article said it all for us all who cared enough to show how much love we had for our favorite actor..and those who mock the banner, shame on you..I just feel it is jealousy on your part, b/c you aren't loved like Michael is! Y&R is dead to me! I no longer care! MM was the "KEY" to this whole soap, and he had a pretty tough role to play! He dedicated his self, to VICTOR ADAM NEWMAN JR! No one could or ever will play that part so well and be so dedicated! Y&R you LOST! You lost a great deal of fans and more so for the firing of MM< and now the horrible words that come out of your mouths about the FANS? Well, you won't have that to worry about any longer! KARMA IS A BITCH! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! Being nasty will only get you no where, and the firing of MM was the lowest thing this PERSON could have ever done!!!! NO LONGER A FAN!!! ;'( <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286641763130571769.post-66163358157305426852014-01-11T15:50:04.115-08:002014-01-11T15:50:04.115-08:00What a nice article you have written.

I would like to add that if MM did any of the things he's accused of, why the interviews or the tweets? Someone would have to be pretty dumb to flag the world of your firing and know you're a deviant. MM is not dumb! Also if MM was not the most pleasant to everyone on the set, well we're not voting for "employee of the month," we're appreciating a superb actor! I'm behind you all the way Michael and if you are not returning to Y&R after 1/30 than neither am I, a fan since day 1!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
