The Pink Slips Keep Coming, Thom Bierdz Has Also Been Given The Boot

In an interview with The Advocate’s Michael Fairman, Thom Bierdz reveals that not only is his six month contract with The Young and The Restless up, but he also only appears in eight episodes this November.  He’s asking fans to write to CBS, and request that Phillip Chancellor stays in Genoa City.

Here is the thing; I know I am on in eight episodes in November and then the truth is, I sort of disappear. 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?.

All I have to say, is that the behind the scenes drama at Y&R is FAAAAAAAAAR more entertaining than what’s going on the show.
