  1. That was revolting. Woah suddenly I'm really fond of TK as Ridge. And I'm all for an umpteenth Thorne recast (given what Ingo tweeted). I thought L.A. was more liberal than this.
  2. A Twitter account that usually posts insider info (not sure how reliable it is) says: “Major: they want to meet with Victoria Rowell”.
  3. Oh God. I'd love to know 😅
  4. I absolutely agree with you. I couldn't believe my own eyes. It's insulting. I'm disgusted too.
  5. Thank you. I don't think there was much thought put into the Carmen character. However I'll say that the "Of course you don't understand, you can't hear me" was a subtle way to show how condescending and ignorant she was. For all of Latham's fault, I think we were supposed to be on Dru's side.
  6. When MK joined that Locher room episode a few weeks ago, there was mention of a story where "Vanessa was temporarily played by another actress". It felt weird that MK would not mention AS. I am sure she is not someone to throw shade at a fellow actress, she's always kept it very classy. Still, it's not like Vanessa was played by multiple temp recasts over the years - it was pretty easy to remember AS.
  7. I appreciate the cast taking sides. I'm missing the (cultural?) reference though. Why did they post GIFs with someone reading or making a list?
  8. Looking forward to hearing what these people have been up to during quarantine...
  9. I loved the first three seasons of Incantesimo 😆 The opening credits were so intriguing.
  10. He got beaten up in jail and since then it's been boo-oooh poor Kevin.
  11. He did like a tweet I sent him where I specifically mentioned NC and PKL...
  12. From my POV, Brad was just a hunk. Every story was seen from Ashley or Nikki’s perspective. He had no personality by the early 00s IMHO. The only story they told from his perspective was his affair with Olivia. And no, that was not well received although I kinda liked it. Brad’s previous marriage to Traci was conveniently glossed over all the time. Which is a shame. When Colleen came back it caused some conflict but never like “Oh I’m worried my sister and my husband may rekindle their feelings”.
  13. But you should take into account that there was no YouTube in 2001. Also, Nick and Sharon’s wedding was immediately a classic not because of time but because it was treated with reverence and seen as epic.
  14. It's not that VR's battles have gotten old: it's that she pioneered the battles many people are fighting today. I have to say, I really admire the woman. When she first called the show out, I believed her but not completely. I vividly remember her addressing the importance of having AA hairdressers who knew how to style a certain type of hair. That struck me, she definitely had a point. At the same time, I also thought that involving an actor in the writing process could create a conflict of interest. I also remember very well PB's interview where he said "she doesn't play with a full deck of cards". I remember it because it was the very first time I heard the expression, I thought it sounded funny. I did think she must have been as eccentric as Drucilla and I tossed aside most of her complaints. Well, growing up I realized over time she was completely right. 100%. Hell, let this woman even write the character if she wishes. I felt awful for not realizing sooner and I promised myself I would never toss aside anyone's complaints, especially coming from a minority. I think it makes total sense that VR is calling out the show all the time and still she's campaigning to be brought back. I don't see the contradiction, at all. Drucilla is sorely needed. It's appalling what happened to her, to MM, Tyler, Leslie. It's not a coincidence. I'm really hoping VR and other black artists can ride the momentum.
  15. She was good! BTW I loved the little girl playing Lily.
  16. Frank Beaty's post is sweet. Has any of you guys actually seen TP in Ozark? Is it really worth it or is it... just another white guy displaying rage?
  17. Didn't Jacqueline McInnes support the pairing too at some point?
  18. I don't understand one word of this tweet. Who's Nelle Benson? Why should this " Ira", whoever he is, care? People can produce shows for "high school tvs"? I also wanted to say great post @Chris B
  19. His hairline was also receding in the early 90s. By the late 90s he came back with a perfect hairline, but I think it was a toupee. Kinda shallow of me but I think Doug D also has worn a toupee for a long time.
  20. Oh me too! That's why I loved the first aged Heather Williams (she was around in 2008).
  21. Cool! from IMDB: She was the crown holder for Miss Los Angeles Chinatown and was the first mixed-ethnicity queen in the pageant's history. She then went on to represent Los Angeles in the Miss Chinese International pageant, where she made top 7 and won Miss Congeniality. I am sorry these actors don’t get direction anymore. I liked her. Until I saw a picture of her in her living room and she had a rifle on the coffee table I think. LOL Thought it was weird.
  22. This reminds me of when KMK subbed for VR as Drucilla in 2000. Also- what about the girl Cane had a fling with on Y&R in 2017? I think she was introduced as an interpreter from his business trip in Hong Kong. I can’t remember her name - Julie, maybe. Was she mixed? Of course she went crazy and was axed soon. But she had potential.
