"The Young and the Restless" Dumps Stacy Haiduk

You have to wonder what's going on with "The Young and the Restless" when new stars are added to the cast -- like Eric Roberts and Jeff Branson -- while Emmy nominee Stacy Haiduk is getting axed?

Is that how you reward an actress whose performance as both mentally-deranged Patty Williams and her therapist, Dr. Emily Petersen, was award-worthy?

According to the actress's website, CBS has chosen not to renew Haiduk's contract (the network never confirms these types of exits). In the case of Haiduk, it's likely that she has been caught in a writing snafu.

Finally, as for the new hires, according to sources, Roberts and Branson may be short-term players. CBS has reportedly asked that the cast be trimmed, so Haiduk's departure may be the beginning of a purge that could see other characters -- those with not much story -- getting pink-slipped.

Stacy Haiduk has been one of the best things to happen to Y&R in years. First she gets an Emmy snub and now this. It's such bull****.
