In an article I read, Braeden mentioned hating a former co-star so much, that the actor is lucky he's walking! Any idea as to whom then unlucky bastard was? I know Braeden and Bergman came to blows when Peter first took over as Jack!
shareMy first thought was Peter Bergman, but you said former co-star.
My second thought would be the guy who played Adam before Justin H took the role. I remember hearing that those two had some real problems too. Apparently they both have rather large egos.
I do remember hearing once that EB said that if someone hasn't been in the cast for a minimum of 10 years, he sees no point or value in even learning their name.
Opinions are like armpits: Most everyone has two and they usually stink. But have a great day!!!!!
I do know that when the show was attempting to lure Victoria Rowell back as Drucilla a few years after her character was presumably killed off, Peter Bergman, Michelle Stafford and Cristel Khalil each informed The Powers That Be that they would quit the soap if ever she showed up on the set again!
shareI'm thinking it was Michael Muhney. That probably led to his firing as much as his alleged groping of Hunter King.
shareIt was Michael Muhney (former Adam)
Eric Braeden said that MM flatly told him that he was on his way out and that MM was the future of the show and went as far as to try and get Braden fired.
“I debated whether or not to write about that but what the son of a b***h did to me was egregious. It needed to be said. He was an excellent actor, but he’s lucky he’s walking in one piece,” EB said in a recent interview.
Muhney admitted about butting heads with Braeden saying there was a little “pushing and shoving and poking and prodding” that went on between them.

I spoke to a couple of people who worked with Michael Muhney during his time in Veronica Mars and also a casting agent who said the word was out a long time ago that Michael Muhney was an amazing actor and a huge pain and no one wanted to work with him because of his reputation for causing trouble on sets and being a diva. When I asked how he was different from other actors who were also great actors but divas and they could find work I was told that Michael crossed lines you didn't want crossed and diva behavior is one thing but he went far beyond that. Apparently on the set of Veronica Mars no one was sad to see him go and it wasn't just because he leaked the season finale of a show online before it aired. No one begged to keep him. Between that and some incidents on other shows no one would really give him a chance. The word was out and Michael was forced off to soaps where he was welcomed for his acting ability. He thought he would be able to make a return to prime time but the casting agent I spoke to said whenever he would read for someone or his name would come up even more stories would pop up about his past and attitude and no one ever wanted to hire him when there were so many other choices who would not try and cause trouble and you never knew what you would get with him. What if they hired him and he ruined everything? Why take the chance? Just don't hire him. When I asked if he was essentially blackballed the casting agent said yes, but not in a literal way just in the sense there were other easier casting choices so why bother.share

Michael Muhney without a doubt, sadly.
