My six-month contract is up. And I really want to support the gay community, and I want the gay community to support me. I would like the gay community to write to CBS and say, ‘We want a gay character on the air,’ and I want to be that. So, remember when Maria Arena Bell promised Nelson "multiple gay stories" in May and then again in August? All this time she was lying and manipulating the gay community. What a shame...

Oh Lord... :eyeroll: Exactly what it is, don't have your out gay star giving numerous hype interviews to the gay press promising a gay story and representation of the gay community when you're not going to write it. Y&R hyped Bierdz's return to the gay press for months, yet he's been a glorified extra since he returned. And promising "multiple" gay stories and then promising to explore the characters personal journey and it never happened? It's all lies and manipulation to me. Quote: I'm still glad they brought him back and rewrote that story though. I'm not, there were other ways of exposing Cane as a fraud without rewriting history and bringing Phillip III back from the dead. They re-wrote all that history and raised him from the dead so he could appear in like 5 episodes after that in filler scenes? Edited by Y&RWorldTurner, Oct 20 2009, 04:36 PM.

This story (or non-story, as it was) should've been handled so much better.

I'm very disappointed in the whole story.

I don't understand why they couldn't do more with his character like having him work with Neil and his Mom at Chancellor Industries. Oh that's right Jill, Neil, Nina and Phillip III have all been written so shitty. The state of this show is so depressing.

There was no story to begin with. What MAB did with Phillip was far worse than what LML did.

Grazzy and Rikaart would be perfect for a gay storyline. Or Elizabeth and Clementine.

She does it all the time. She and her cohorts got cold feet about a gay story line. She can try to spin it anyway she wants but that is what happened and she lied about it when she went on about her committment to doing a gay love story. But instead of being called out on her lies there are those who trip all over themselves kissing up to her. MAB is a hack and needs to be fired. Y&R is a shell of the show it was even a couple of years ago. I never thought I would say this but MAB is worse than LML. I agree with Y&RWorld and Kenny. There was no purpose in bringing Phillip back with that convoluted story line that made no sense if this was the direction they were going in. Edited by MEK, Oct 20 2009, 07:27 PM.
