Y&R's Michael Fairman shares his experiences with the Church of Scientology
"My friendship with those of you who have spoken with me this past week, and others whom I have known and cared about over the years, is not based on the policies or dictates of the Church; and if my change of heart regarding my membership in it causes us to separate, so be it. That makes me very sad. Sad because it is dictated that you take what I have done as a personal attack and
betrayal. I can only say, and I have looked at this very seriously and as truthfully as I am able, that were the situation reversed, I would remain true to you — because to me, that is the profound meaning of friendship."

  1. Guys, that Fairman link is amazing.

    Now (pretty please!) pull out the investigative hat and find out which female Scientologist co-star from Y&R called poor Mr. Fairman an "enemy". Inquiring minds reeeeeeallly wanna know!

  2. MarkH - I won't mention the name of the actress (this is all unsubstantiated at this time) but it's fairly well known that one of the Y&R leads is a Scientologist.

    The bigger question is - if she really told Fairman he had an enemy at work, this is then the second performer at Y&R she has had a questionable encounter with. (At least she didn't spit in Fairman's face.)

    It's an interesting piece of information......and may give additional credence to the claims of performer #1 about how uncomfortable she felt on set around the Y&R Scientologist.

  3. ...after more research.....it seems there are TWO actresses at Y&R who this could be.

    I'll skip naming names again but hint: the character that the second actress plays has long been in a triangle fighting over the same man with the character of Scientologist #1.

    Neither have a direct storyline with Fairman, so who knows who it is?

  4. Yes, it's generally known who the two leading actresses are on Y&R who are members of Scientology. But Mr. Fairman specifically wrote ''co-worker'' (as opposed to ''co-star''). IOW, I would take that to mean the offender could also be someone in the production crew.
