I just watched my recording and I had to re-run the opening credits to make sure I saw the name right.
He was great...what a waste of him on Y&R...

When Daniel came to Y&R, I really thought his character would be multi-dimensional and it never came to that.  Michael is a great actor and they ruined him by making him a porn addict and now he is addicted to the porn that got him started.  Daniel and Amber do not belong together.  I like Amber much better on B&B and I can't understand why Phyllis doesn't do more to break them up.

  • While there is a lot of potential for soaps to have multi-faceted/multi-dimentional characters, there isn't ONE soap that has a character living up to their potential, on many levels! What a waste of potential & talent. eom

    He was awesome on Criminal Minds. They should write him much better material on Y&R, but then, they should write better material for most of those on the show.

    It reminded me of how ''transformed'' Cam Gigandet (Daniel #1) was when he went to The OC.

  • I was curious whatever happened to Daniel #1. Got my answer. Thanks.

    ICAM, w/serialmom's post below.  It just shows, glaringly, how much wasted talent soaps have in their midst & what crap they saddle these actors with!

    I'm all for daytime actors doing primetime, but they also need to be appreciated in the daytime genre.  This is why so many underappreciated actors go from being seen as being weak actors to doing primetime work & being seen as being strong, capable performers!  There is no good reason for it either.  Soaps need to set the bar much higher, on all levels.  They need to make that a priority, instead of seeing it as 'just a soap opera'.

    Michael Graziadei is alright, but don't forget who's the star of Criminal Minds. Me! Malcolm!

    Michael G. was astoundingly good on the show, and made me feel sorry for his character, in spite of his actions.  He created a very diverse character (how about those accents?) and we should all be very proud of our Daniel.  Y&R has a great cast overall and it's a joy to see them spread their wings without rushing out to find stardom every time they get another part.  I'm glad MG will be around for a few more years. Oh, by the way, he also looked gorgeous!

    I recorded it.  I can't wait to watch it.  Pudneyanna  spoiled it for me but I don't mind. I'll pretend I didn't read it.  :-)

  • I'm sorry. I was excited. Still getting the hang of posting. :)
  • MIKE: Don't worry, it's not much of a reveal; you sort of know right at the start what's going on. The fun is watching how good an actor Michael has become. /eom. soaphound
  • Oh no worries :-) I am already used to reading spoilers before the soaps. It will be interesting to see him in CM. I don't think I have ever seen him in anything other than Y&R. And it is recorded in HD so I am excited. :) eom Mike

    It does make you wonder what any of these actors could do with different material.
