Another reason to watch Y&R...

[smiley_b]

Michael Muhney (formerly Sheriff Don Lamb on Veronica Mars) has landed the recast role of Adam Newman on Y&R.

This follows the previous Adam, Chris Engen, allegedly walking off set a couple of days ago (apparently upset with the direction of his storyline; spec is that he flipped out over having to kiss the guy who plays Rafe, but he's apparently been unhappy for a while.)

So, to recap: first they cast John Driscoll. Then they pull off the hugest secret in getting Thom Bierdz back. And now Michael Muhney is joining.

Y&R is definitely becoming must see tv for me!

Wow that's really great casting!

And seriously, I have no sympathy for actors who walk off shows like this.

I know exactly what you mean - from what I've read on some of the soap sites, he's been unhappy for a while, but that's still absolutely no excuse to behave so unprofessionally.

I'd say he's going to get sued from here to kingdom come....

Did you see Chris Engen's interview?

I suspect even he doesn't seem to know how to say what he wants to say, it's just all rambling.

Not to mention I'd quite like to know what "unpresidented" pressures they were putting him under.

I did indeed - saw it earlier on today, am trying to work out whta I think about it - he managed to make quite a long statement without saying anything at all!!!

I think that it may not have been the kiss itself he had a problem with, but more the fact that Adam was going to be manipulating Rafe and this was the straw thta broke the camels back, as he'd been unhappy for a while. (And I can't say I blame him....)
