I don't believe this at all. Something is definitely up.

Wish him well.

It was not hard to figure out that what he tweeted was the truth. His cover story made NO sense. I do not want to celebrate someone being unemployed, but I will not exactly miss Cole. And if he leaves by going to jail, like he deserves, then Ron C. will officially be back on my Christmas list. Say what you will about Todd, but he did time for raping Marty, and Lindsay is STILL in jail for doing that town and the fans a huge favor and offing Spencer Truman. Cole crippled a kid and nearly beat a man to death, and he still walks around town threatening people and having to be restrained from acting like the roided out bully he started out as. So while I wish Brandon Buddy the best, to Cole I say DLTDHY!

After has happened, I'm still holding my breath. I mean why would they have Cole leave, espically since he has a daughter with Starr?

I'm not sure what's up, but I read on SerialDrama.com that there was a Mandatory OLTL cast/crew meeting set for today.

THEN, this morning I read on mr brooks genoa city news, -he reported on what he claims as good authority, is that the show got the Ax and they told everyone today??

I'm not sure what to believe, so I guess I'll just wait and see. Truth be told, I haven't watched OLTL since Crystal Hunt swalled it whoe and my body would violently shake at her hidious acting skills invading my living room.

Either way, I'm sure Brandon Buddy will be fine.

I can't say I will miss Cole, but I can't help but wonder if we might lose Susan Haskell too! What reason does Marty have to stay in Llanview now?

Well duh, that's what we said all along: He tweeted the truth earlier than they wanted it revealed, got in trouble, came up with the lame "someone hacked my account" story and now he's leaving.

Never liked him as an actor so no loss in my book.

I agree with the above statement. DU!!!!!!

That excuse he was was obviously fake. Didnt buy it at all.

PEACE OUT COLE!!!! More James and Starr!!!

OLTL Aint Canned

Oh CRAP! I was afraid of this, ever since I heard about that mandatory cast/crew meeting they were having today! If they cancel my favorite ABC show, then I am done with them (ABC, that is)!

This butchering/mass murder of our favorite daytime shows has just gone too far!

As far as BB is concerned, well, anyone with half a brain could tell that the "Someone hacked into my Twitter Account." story was just that, a story. With the introduction of James, and TIIC making Cole look more and more like some freaked-out Bully, a blind person could see where that whole thing was going. Cole almost killing Todd was pretty much what pushed a lot of the viewers over the edge where he (Cole) was concerned - myself included.

I wonder when we will know the outcome of this mysterious meeting they had today? Everyone keep your fingers crossed for our OLTL - something tells me that they are going to need it!

Just read from Soap Opera Network's twitter page that brandon is not going anywhere. So glad for that.

Well, I'll be sad to see him go. I liked the idea of Starr and Cole and Hope being a family. Families are certainly not valued in the soap world the way they used to be. Not by the idiots in charge nor by the people watching. It's a sad commentary on where we are as a society, I guess.

The OLTL that is on now is not the OLTL that I was addicted to for years and years. Most of the stories now focus on people who mean little or nothing to me. If it is sent to Soap Heaven, I'll mourn because it brought me a lot of entertainment for several years; but I won't miss it.

Um, LOL, okay, believe who you want to believe. The site that broke Lucci's paycut, AMC's move out West, JJ's return and who told you when Vanessa Marcil Marcil was ACTUALLY coming back, or...other sites. Not sweat off my keyboard.
 

I guess the writing was on the wall. I knew Buddy was out the minute that James was brought on and thrown into Starr's orbit. First Markko, and now Cole. Who's next, Matthew?

Im sick of these Disney Channel trendy boys replacing by favorite characters. The same thing is gonna happen on All My Children. They just brought on a Tall, dark haired 17 magazine boy.

Peace the Spork out Brandon Buddy, best wishes to you. I will miss Cole.

Ugh I don't know what to believe anymore. This back and forth makes me dizzy. I'll just keep enjoying Cole and Star for now. Can't stand James and that freakin twinkle crap.

I'm just glad he's leaving alive..I couldn't bear it if Marty lost her son!

They should recast the role, I was really looking forward to Cole/Hannah.

Oh, I believe BB is leaving... this thread has me more concerned now about the show being canceled! *sniff*

It was obvious back when the BB's Twitter announcement was made that he really was planning to leave. What hacker goes into someone's Twitter account and tells the world that the person is quitting their job? Plus why would it take several days for BB to recant what the hacker said if it wasn't true. It's obvious that BB was being honest and ABC was probably infuriated by the announcement fearing that the show might lose even more viewers who tune in to see Cole and Starr. In any case, I met BB once and he is so super nice and cool. I wish him the very best. I am also saddened by the fact that OLTL continues to do so poorly in the ratings. I hope it is not cancelled. That would be such a loss, even though the show has definitely seen better days than those of late.

Good luck, kid!!! If he's unhappy here, maybe he'll thrive elsewhere.

Oh crap just realized that though STALE with thankfully be over I wont get Hannah and Cole. Cole wasn't as possessive and verbally abusive with Hannah as he was with Starr.

But now I for sure can have my tornado and TWINKLE!

Maybe BB's too fat to compete with the abstastic Ford models now overtaking Klanview.

Guys, if Jamey or DC is reporting this it is 100% true.

I agree, I believed it the first time it was leaked and ABC got mad, and the best excuse they can come up with was that his Twitter page was hacked.

BB is very talented, I am sure he will land on his feet somewhere.

With what happened last time, I'm waiting for a confirmation from ABC, or at least from Brandon, Kristen, or Brittany.

I hope BB lands on his feet. Who knows maybe he decided to take the plunge before it was handed to him on a plate.

Who knows!!

Wow this caught me off guard this morning when i read it!

But for me how much i love Cole on OLTL he's just not the same person on there for awhile. Ever sense Hannah came on there I could not stand his character.
Yeah i really like Star and Cole as a couple but... It's a soap and if you keep a soap together for to long people get bored of them!
I don't really like James but I think I may beable to get used to him. I sort a like Ford but in the way that you hate what he does but understand way he does it type of way.
For me Cole will most likely go to California to stay with Marko for awhile. I really hope that if/when they bring Cole back they can have a better story line for him!

Markko's coming back September 24th.

I'm okay with Cole leaving, but can we keept Marty and Hannah? Pretty please?

I have to say I was excited when I first read that he had tweeted about leaving the show and then saddened when I heard it wasn't true. Sorry, but he's maybe the worst male actor on the show right now so I'm not gonna miss him or the character in the least. We know this opens the door for a Starr/James pairing, which I have no problem at all with, but where does this leave Marty? No love interest and now no familial tie to the canvas makes me suspect her days are numbered as well which is probably not such a bad thing as TPTB have completely wasted Susan Haskell for at least the last year or so.
