Title: This is upsetting news. Prepare yourself :( Post by: soappsychic2 on December 17, 2013, 03:04:39 pm I found this on twitter.Michael Muhney has been let go of on YR. WHY????????????????????????????????
I am certain that the EP is trying to tank this soap as she has with so many others that she's worked on. >:( "My last air date will be Jan 30th. I'm going to take some private time with my wife & kids, as I am most concerned for their well-being... Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More Michael Muhney @michaelmuhney 49m I'm so sorry. It breaks my heart to say this, but I was just let go from Y&R. My last day on set is this Thursday." Title: Re: This is upsetting news. Prepare yourself :( Post by: FeistyRedhead on December 17, 2013, 06:18:14 pm I just saw this on Twitter. I haven't watched the show since summer, but had to see what everyone was saying about this. All I can say is I'm glad I stopped watching because if I wasn't done before I'd be done now. Stupid move on Y&R's place!
Title: Re: This is upsetting news. Prepare yourself :( Post by: Lynn1 on December 17, 2013, 07:11:49 pm I just came home to this news and wondered if it was a joke; haven't seen the one about his last air date yet, so thanks for filling me in. This is such a LAME move on Y&R's part!!! I hope a bunch of fans will band together and somehow help save his job like what happened with Daniel Goddard and with Melody Thomas Scott awhile back. I wonder if that would even make an impact anymore with JFP at the helm. She's the kiss of death for soaps as far as I'm concerned!

Title: Re: This is upsetting news. Prepare yourself :( Post by: Lynn1 on December 17, 2013, 10:45:50 pm I'll add info as I find it... this isn't in any particular order:

I'm trying to find out how to sign this petition without having to pay a donation. Not sure how yet: A petition (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/a-petition-to-remove-jill-farren-phelps-as/donate) to remove Jill Farren Phelps as Executive Producer of Young and the Restless Title: Re: This is upsetting news. Prepare yourself :( Post by: Lynn1 on December 17, 2013, 11:28:01 pm On the petition, I was told: "Once you sign....you don't have to go to the next page. It tells you that your signature was counted." Is that what anyone else is getting? For me, when I click on the link, I get to the donation page 1st, and it says I've signed, even though I haven't.

Prepare yourself :( Post by: Lynn1 on December 17, 2013, 11:42:05 pm Apparently the bigshots are using today to craft their own fancy spin on the situation, and they're mad about Michael Muhney stating the facts on Twitter. Too bad, so sad! He didn't say anything negative at all when he shared the news. I hope the bigwigs are ready to face the wrath of angry soap fans!

Title: Re: This is upsetting news. Prepare yourself :( Post by: Rose on December 18, 2013, 03:05:50 pm I signed the online petition. If it's OK with soappsychic, I think we should rename this thread and keep it on top of the general board so everyone can find it easily.

A very classy exit interview as far as I'm concerned.

"Any funds collected over the goal will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer organization that Michael supports. #savemuhney."
