It was a sad day for the many loyal supporting fans of Michael on his last day on air on the show.
I've read online and heard from friends many of who are no longer going to be watching The Young and the Restless due to his firing.
I can't say that I am going to stop, I haven't decided yet. (although I do want to, just to send a message to JFP).
Not sure if the rumors are true about GH casting his as Jason as this all started on a message board on Soaps.She Knows website, but I think GH would be making a wise move if they did. I'd certainly support him there.
What about you, are you going to continue watching or are you going to boycott the show?

I have watched this show since day one and to leave it over any actor to me is beyond ridiculous.

I'm sure I will continue to watch Y&R but I definitely will miss MM in the role of Adam. Watching today's episode was very difficult. I just hated the way they had Billy taunting Adam.
I don't usually get emotionally involved in a soap but this whole SL was just too upsetting.

I'm boycotting. He was the only reason I watched!

I have also watched from day 1 and will most definitely continue to watch it. I have seen many actors come and go thru' the years but I will still watch my favorite soap, The Young & The Restless.

It's not so much his firing, but the way it has ben handled, not only by the PTB, but the actors at Y&R.
When this whole thing began to spiral out of control, Melody Thomas Scott sent out a message on Twitter, calling the fans of the show naïve, (sorry, I can't quote word for word as the Tweet has thus been deleted) and other things because we "had no clue" what we were talking about and what happened "behind the scenes" that they were privy to so we, the fans, should keep our mouths shut. Doug Davidson, who plays Paul, also Tweeted some not so nice things as has Kristoff St. John. (Neil)
I'm disgusted that these people have forgotten who pays their salary, us. the viewers. I don't understand if all the rumors are true, then why did they allow MM to continue working. I would think that JFP, being the "creative genius" that she seems to think she is, could have come up with something, or, they would have found a temporary replacement for those remaining days, just to finish out the story. If someone did what they say MM did, he should have been escorted off the property immediately, not continue working for the next week.
Adam was a character I loved to hate, and MM brought such depth to Adam, I can't imagine what it's going to be like without him. I too, am in hopes that GH signs him.
As far as continuing to watch, I think not. I don't wan to support actors that have larger than life egos.

I am on Team Michael, today was my last day.
I have been watching Y&R since day 1 & the only reason I have stuck with them is Adam & Billy, my two favorite actors. Catherine is gone & they are recasting Phyllis (big mistake), so there is no reason to continue to watch. I will follow Michael & Billy & already am a fan of the Stafford Project.

You made a lot of valid points and I agree with you. It just upsets me how this was handled. I know we'll never know the truth of this situation. But I feel it was handled poorly. Too many things should have been done differently.
I've watched the show from day one myself, and I see how it's going downhill fast, and I find myself rapidly losing interest since my favorite actors are no longer on it.

Y&R HD Michael Muhney On ADAM NEWMAN & Y&R Drama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khz4cdBTKUQ#t=117
A source on set of the CBS soap told Radar: “Hunter went to the top brass at CBS and Sony and accused Michael of grabbing her udders on two separate occasions.
Hunter demanded Michael be fired or else she would file a police report against him.
However, Hunter was told by producers, if she believed a crime had been committed, she should pursue appropriate action, regardless of their decision.
”She never filed the report — at least not yet — and were told there were no witnesses to the alleged groping.
Cast members, Sharon Case and Melissa Claire Eagan, are disgusted by the move and are making it known. Both ladies played Michael’s character’s love interests and they have legions on fans. While they can’t publicly discuss
So HK was not getting satisfaction from the JFP group she went to the higher ups and they Sony fired MM?

I didn't like MM when he first came on but I really like him now. I will miss him but it won't keep me from watching the show. We still don't know the truth about what happened.
