While Muhney did not confirm the rumours, in a Huffington Post interview, he implied that Braeden played a role in co-star Maura West’s firing from the show. He said, “I do know one thing for sure: I really look up to and respect my friend, Maura West. She had the most dignified walk down The Green Mile that I’ve ever seen when she was fired from Y&R, too.”
