The Young and the Restless just placed casting coal in the stockings of many fans this holiday season.
Michael Muhney, who has starred on the CBS soap opera for almost six years as Adam Newman, Tweeted yesterday that he's been fired from the daytime drama.
"It breaks my heart to say this, but I was just let go from Y&R," the actor wrote. "My last day on the set is this Thursday.”
Muhney, whose final installment will air January 30, added:
“I’m going to take some private time with my wife & kids, as I am most concerned for their well-being… I have 3 final episodes to film, and because they are my last, I will be giving it everything I have.”
CBS is yet to comment on the dismissal.
