Ouch, Still No Love Lost Between Y&R's Bergman and Braeden!

The two biggest divas on the show don't get along...lol...oh so much can be said about this but I will just leave it alone

This dosn't really shock me, I don't know why but it just doesn't.

 LMAO!! Doesn't surprise me but still hilarious. 

For all the crap that Victoria R gets for telling it like it is (or at least, the way she sees it) in interviews, Peter B seems to get away with being bitchy in interviews.  Well, it is entertaining, lol!

btw, love the new set up for comments on here

Glad you like them! Got a few more things coming down the pipe in the next week or so that readers should like.

I think it's pathetic. I don't know how "Y&R" can reep the benefits of being the most highly rated daytime drama when some of their cast members are some of the most arrogant people. Why can't Bergman just be a professional? He's got great health at his age, a well paying job...what is there to be bitter about? And okay, true enough people at work don't get a long, so why air that in the public eye? Peter Bergman can't honestly say something positive about Eric Braeden that would just move the questioning along? I think the only vet I would ever tune in to that show for would be Jeanne Cooper, out of respect. As far as I know, she had to work opposite the infamous Brenda Dickson, but she never slammed her in the press for whatever discord there was reported between Dickson and the show's producers, did she? You know, I like to think there is a fun little alternate reality where Bergman is a balding, over weight insurance agent...not the suave, sophisticated, soap star...

Erik

And I'm not surprised either! They say women can be the divas! But seriously we're in a time and place where the soap world is dwindling with every day that passes.  Would it kill him to be diplomatic? I'm not even an Eric Braeden fan but why put your work environment in such a negative place when it doesn't need to be? Because in the end, these two WILL work together again in the future.  In short, why make things worse than it needs to be? I still believe there are some things that need to be private and what you think of your co-star, love them or hate them doesn't need to be aired.  Do you job, do it well.  No extra drama please!

Who cares if these two old biddies don't get along? The tension between them adds to their on-screen feud -- which is all that really matters.

Scout: "Two old biddies" heehee!!

PB has had as much, if not more, success in daytime than Eric Breaden, but like everyone else, it doesn't surprise me that they don't get along.

What was so unprofessional about what he said? Would it have been better if he'd lied and said they go to the mall on the weekends. He didn't say anything derogatory about Eric. He didn't even say that they don't get along. It was implied.

I don't know Season, I'd say publicly (and rather randomly) implying to the press that you don't get along with a current coworker is pretty unprofessional and definitely unnecessary. And he didn' t have to lie. He was asked a silly puff question, and used it as an opportunity to get in a little dig at EB (something PB has done before, btw.) Personally, I'm entertained by it though, lol.

TEAM JACK! All the way. 

I was in attendance when Braeden got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame two years ago.  Peter Bergman was also there (along with MTS, Cooper, Diamont, and Heather Tom).  EB even mentioned PB in his speech.  No, I don't believe Braeden and Bergman are buddy-buddy off camera but I think they respect each other.  I seriously doubt we see these two 'scrapping' again.

For all we know maybe PB was just answering the question in character.

I'm not sure I would compare Peter Bergman and Eric Braeden's on-set relationship to that of Jeanne Cooper and Brenda Dickson. I've read that Jeanne and Brenda actually got along rather well during their years of working together and whatever she may have felt about Brenda's problems with the producers of Y&R during her second stint on the show, she didn't (and I would agree that she shouldn't) comment (negatively) on it. I think Brenda Dickson has unfairly gotten a bad reputation over the years. Her portrayal of Jill Foster was extremely popular during her first run (from 1973 to 1980) and her return in 1983 was greeted with lots of press because the original portrayer had returned to her role. That said, Dickson's portrayal upon her return was great for the first two years or so. Once Jill and John Abbott started to feud and divorce, that's when Jill's character changed. She was going to take John for millions and her character became extremely b*tchy. That was the point that Miss Dickson performance seemed to peak and she slid down into caricature. Brenda knew this character well and she didn't always agree with how they wanted to write it. Certainly, it wasn't her place to dictate character direction and storyline, but TPTB certainly didn't want to hear a word from her and put her in her place. Any animosity or disagreements she had were with directors and producers--not Jeanne Cooper. In contrast, Eric and Peter had a fist fight(s) on set because they were unable to work together in a civil manner. If this were during that time in the '90s, I might understand and accept Bergman's comment about his relationship with Braeden. It would have been a somewhat classier and dignified response back then. Now, it comes off as kind of obnoxious and tiresome. Really? All these years later (after you've supposed resolved your differences that culiminated in a fist fight), why not just say (to fans and an ET reporter), "and I tell them, 'we do our job--but no, we're not friends off-set, actually.'" I give Bergman a thumbs down for forgetting to be an adult in an adult situation.

 True, Daisy, true.
