OH HELL NO: Marcy Rylan Given The Boot at The Young and the Restless!

Lord in the morning. That sound you hear is Daytime Confidential's Luke Kerr crying like a banshee! Soap Opera Digest is reporting The Young and the Restless fan favorite Marcy Rylan has also received her walking papers. According to the magazine, Rylan's shocking firing is due to budget cuts. The magazine stated:

Everyone is shocked. No one ever imagined that Em's [as she is known by the cast] job would be in danger. After all, her character is a Newman and an Abbott. This just proves that there are going to be a lot of surprises with these budget cuts.

I'm all for trimming the fat on that show—been shouting the need for it from the rooftops for years— but not with Rylan! I can name at least five other Y&R "stars" off the top of my head who could have bit it, instead of this popular YOUNG and RESTLESS spitfire! Hello, she's a Newman and Abbott heiress. C'mon now, CBS and Sony. This is not the way to fix this show. General Hospital should snap her up as Serena Baldwin!

No word on when Rylan's final tape and airdate is slated for.

I'm not really surprised by this news either. Rylan didn't sit well with many Y&R viewers. Plus MAB kind of ruined Abby and the character was getting nowhere. Here's hope that Abby leaves town and joins her mother in NYC.

I find the Abby character very, VERY irritating. but no way in HELL should MR be going before CK!!! Why the FRICK are they still "negotiating" with that dumb bitch??

Yeah COFFEE JUNKIE, a person after my own heart. I don't understand why they are letting all of these people go, and still messing with Ck/Lily. What a waste and she has a real lack of talent. MR/Abby can act circles around her.

I think the powers that be will regret letting Abby go. You know what will happen, right? They recast the role and she will stink and everyone will want Marcy back when she shouldnt have left in the first place, although its not her fault.

I think I agree with a prior post that said it is all Ellen Wheeler's fault.

Seriously, I think better material would have showcased her talent better. Abby got on my nerves. Sometimes soap operas try to incorporate reality show type stories, etc. into the shows and so far I have found it rarely works. Soaps work better sticking to soapy type stories. Love/intrigue ie, Revenge in primetime and/or Dallas.

GH is SLOWLY giving its show balance and it seems to be working. Changes need to be subtle to satisfy current fans. Jarring is not good in soapland.

I thought Abby (Marcy) was fabulous on the last episode (Victor's funeral). I cannot believe Y&R would choose to let her go. Abby's character brings so much to the show now since Marcy has taken over this position. I really wish Y&R would rethink their decision. I could think of a few other people that you could let go instead of Marcy.
