However, many other fans of the soap don't seem to share the same sentiment and took to Twitter to express their dismay.
The only good thing Chuck Pratt did for soaps was kill Babe on AMC. Other than that, nothing. #YR

Of course #YR brings on Chuck Pratt! I swear the showrunners secretly hate the show. This is a horrible decision. HORRIBLE. — Caryn (@insidemyworld71) September 19, 2014

All joking aside, the hiring of Chuck Pratt at #YR in any capacity is a slap in the face to the actors and fans. @AngelicaMcD — Jeremy Penrod (@jeremyppenrod) September 19, 2014
