Because he found the opportunity to capitalize on Eric Martsolf's enormous talent, OBVIOUSLY!

Wait a minute, wait a goddamned minute and hold the freakin' phone!

WHY????

I have it from a source that talked to BD's managers, that he is not been fired. Bryan is busy working and his cycle has been picked up. This is all just rumor.

Whew! :cheer:
Thanks I heard the same thing.

13 weeks is only three months. If they decide to write someone out now then I would not expect it to show up on screen for 2-3 months since they plan stories out six months in advance.

Shawn and Belle were on a lot and strongly featured up until they left on their sailing trip.

If it's true that Tomlin doesn't think BD has chemistry with his leading ladies, and if he's not being fired, then what the heck are they going to do with him storyline-wise?

That's true. But, there have been reasons for Lucas all these years. I think the big problem truly came about when Ejami first started, and then they put Lucas in the Phloe orbit. I don't recall too many Austin/Sami fans calling for Lucas's head.
And, I still don't buy the the comments that BD made at the Burlington event. No offense to anyone (although I'm sure some will be taken), but I have a hard time believing the impartiality of this, especially when it's someone who WANTS Lucas off canvas trying to convince me it was true.
The irony of all this is: I can't believe I'm sticking up for him so hard. Lucas has his good moments. I don't consider him my ultimate favorite on the show, and yes, there are times when he irritates me. BUT, I have heard good things about BD and how much fun he is at the studio. I feel he was given the bum's rush by some fans when James Scott first stepped foot into that studio, and unfairly. People don't have to like Lucas, but it was then being transferred to BD. Everything he said publicly was being picked apart and analyzed, while James Scott could do no wrong. And, recently, it was happened in the Phloe camp.
BD might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if they are firing him because some diva got pissed off at him, that's just wrong. And, really, I have this suspicion things are better just because the dynamic with Sami and Lucas was good this week. Just my speculation. Hell, it could be that he WAS fired, and he's relaxed that the shoe has dropped and he can go on. It could be because, maybe he's on the line. It could be because they resolved their issues.
But, since Bryan is such a joking bullshitter, I would take the Burlington stuff with a HUGE grain of salt. It could be that he crossed the line and Allison got pissed off that he said that. In which case, girl needs to get a sense of humor.
I don't know. If he was truly mad at her and said things he shouldn't, he should be reprimanded, but not necessarily fired unless there are things going on that we don't know about. In which case, they should suck up the balls to do it right instead of playing games with a man's future. The reverse situation blew up in their faces with Drake. Pretty soon, no one is going to care. I'm sure it goes on all the time.
As far as BD versus NB, I'll take BD any day. I don't care about pretty. I care about someone who can put some inflection in their voice. But, I'm not going to denounce NB and dissect every thing she says just because I don't care for her acting. Actually, if the girl would shave off a few extensions and cover up some cleavage, I could probably even tolerate her! LOL
Bringing on these eye candy guys......I don't know what to think. I'm not getting good vibes about this at all.
What the heck, I'll take offense! :fight: I'll assume those comments were directed at me since I was one of the few who defended the blogger and still do. I've never wanted Bryan to be off canvas as in fired, just moved out of the EJ and Sami storyline. Karma's a bitch and wishing that someone gets fired can come back to bite you in the ass. Out of the EJami storyline: yes (unless he continues to be the EJami cheerleader like he has been lately). Fired from the show: No.

Oooh..That's very cryptic Nelson (or at least it is to me :wink: ) What have they done before? Renewed a contract and then fired them? I think they did it to Julie Pinson as well.

13 weeks is a standart cycle, Brian as a longterm vet will have much more. Someone here wrote 6 months. Besides the rumour about "the vet" going is out for almost a month now, so if it´s true it should project on screen very soon.

This does seem alot like the Julie Pinson firing ... she was kind of in and out of S/L you thought she was going to be paired up with that one guy (Jett was it? the ISA guy) she got a new job as security director for the University and they out of the blue - bam she's moving to London...

I can not stand Lucas and Sami together anymore. I think Lucas comes across as a yipping dog when he is with Sami. All they do is argue and that is old news.
I do like Bryan Datillo. What I think they should do is put the Lucas character in partners with Phillip and play him like they do Phillip. A Rich and a Cool Dude. I think Bryan could pull it off and it would give the story some place to go with him.
Just my opinion.

That's what I'm curious about. I don't like anyone losing their job, but I want to watch characters who are useful to the stories. I think tptb need to make decisions for the future of the show. Not due to a diva, but due to the direction the writers plan to go.

Personally I have never cared for the character of Lucas in any incarnation, so while I'd be sad for BD, I'd be happy to see the character of Lucas go if the writers have direction elsewhere.

That's how Lucas used to be, maybe not cool but he was rich, working at Titan, living in the Kiriakis Mansion. But ever since he came out off his coma he has been written more like a blue collar

I know that BD is not popular on this board, but I just have to say that I really like him, and Lucas, and Lumi, and I would be extremely upset if he was fired for the sake of more "eye candy" crap actors to be brought in. I'm tired of being jerked around as a fan of this show. I have watched for over 23 years, and have always been loyal, but I am seriously getting put off by all this bts stuff, inconsistent s/l's and fanbase-war-flame-fanning. :(
I really hope the rumor about BD is b.s.
I have never been a fan of Lucas, but I would prefer he be kept around than to get new actors hired for their looks instead of their talent. I don't think Lucas is a great character and I hate the Lumi romance, but he is familiar and has family connections. I've also seen signs of the old Lucas/Sami friendship chemistry this week, and I do like that, as long as they keep them out of all romantic triangles, quads, or any other geometric configuration.

ITA with your post!
ITA with both of these posts. How it must suck to be an actor, doing the best you can with the crappy script you have been given and never know if you are going to get a knife in your back because Higley has had some self-imagined brilliant script ideas. Working for her in any capacity is a very stressful undertaking if you ask me. Too bad they can't have a mutiny.
as far as Sammi & Nicole's pregnancy, I would think it would be Nicole who would miscarry. Having a woman who is pregnant in real life play someone someone who loses her baby is cruel and thoughtless. then again, this is Higley we are talking about. :drunk:

Putting Sami with that many kids is a mistake as well, in my opinion. It's not character driven ... or even plot driven... it's actress driven.

They could, however, have her miscarry and go on maternity leave to deal with it... then Sweeney wouldn't have to deal with it too much....

I think Nicole having the child could be great.... she's a layered character anyways... bitchy... vulnerable... funny... I'd LOVE to see the changes having a baby could bring her.

I think Sami having another baby could work really well with the show down the line if the show is able to make it that far.

Especially if the baby is a girl then Allie and the new baby girl could maybe turn into sibling rivals like Carrie and Sami did.

I don't think it matters if Sami has another baby or not. Kids are rarely apart of the show and are aged very quickly.

Everyone says that Alison wanted this baby written in - based on one interview she gave - and if you look at the context she was talking about how she felt bad for the crew the last time she was pregnant and how they had to give her special consideration for staging and costuming and how that adds extra stress to them. She simply felt bad and that if they wrote it in then they could save the cast/crew that extra aggravation.

But people still act like she wanted this pregnancy so she got it. No, it doesn't work that way. Tomlin & Higley considered everything and came up with what they believe is a good story so they went with it.

no, it's based on more than one interview. back when all the diva drama was going on, someone's source mentioned that she wanted her pregnancy written in and was told 'no.' the recent interview just added fuel to the fire.
i'm not going to lie, i think the fact that she is just turning up pregnant when she and ej had sex five months ago, the fact that tomlin has just come on, and the fact that her having another baby doesn't do a thing for the plot is telling. JMO, and i'm not saying anything bad about the actress. whoever allowed this pregnancy to go on is stupid, on the basis of the plot points i've already mentioned.

whoever mentioned earlier that chloe might have been meant to exit with morgan is right on, i think. i know i can't have been the only one to find it odd that chloe got a job out of town, that will clearly fall through in the next couple of weeks. what was even the point of doing it unless she was meant to leave the show as well?

I don't believe Alison cares either way storywise if her pregnancy was written in.

As this thread proves, sources can be wrong. We have supposed valid sources who are saying conflicting things. They can't all be right. Everyone's so quick to believe all the "sources" about Alison. If she was as much a diva as people claim then i don't see how she would still be on days and how NBC would have been behind her getting Biggest Loser and such.

I can say how when someone is successful, people work overtime to tear them down. And I hadn't heard any bad rumors about Alison until after her gig with Biggest Loser turned out successful and now the show is doing better than ever.

Now suddenly she is a diva and making all these demands and rewriting scripts and forcing her pregnancy on the show. I just don't buy it. It does not add up.

i'm not saying she's the diva. i have my own opinions on it which are neither here or there. i'm just saying that her pregnancy makes no sense for the storyline, and whoever wanted it, whether it was at her behest or not, is stupid. many people were also surprised and confused by her latest comments on the pregnancy, which touched on crew convienence rather than a solid story for the show, which may be why other's suspicions were aroused about how much pull she has over her own stories.

More than one actors have confirmed that Ali is indeed the diva.(BD is not one of those actors, btw!) I believe 100% that Alison Sweeney is the diva.

Alison said herself that she wanted the pregnancy to be written in. She stated it in an interview I think.
