Y&R: Victoria Rowell exit interview (CBS SID)

[Darn]

How is she racist? And racist against who? FYI, she's biracial.

[alwaysAMC]

Maybe 'racist' was too harsh - but she really has some issues and she seems bitter about certain things. While I think it's great she's all about getting more blacks in daytime and empowering the black community as a whole -- the way she talks about it is very sanctimonious, condescending, self-promoting, and annoying.

[Darn]

Okay, that's understandable.

But that happens a lot, when you talk up your race people perceive it as putting down others and that's not always the case.

[Queen_Nubia]

I disagree. I think she address the often ignored issue with direct and honest candor. I think she carries herself in a very confident and self-assured manner which garners her “bitch” label. But, I applaud her having the balls to speak her mind, rather than giving the generic “everything is peaches and cream” responses.

But, she seems like the upward and onward type. I wish her success in her future endeavors.

LMAO - This one line was the best thing on Y&R for the last three weeks. Dru said that a lot and it was always so fabulous.

Dru to Sharon: "Phyllis! Ugh! She's so SCAAAANDA-LOUS!"

The real reason she left Y&R is not the pre-nom (well yeah, I also think it definitely played a role though): She wanted more power, like a writing input on the show. Judging from her previous SOW interview she was also not too pleased with the direction of Y&R and her character in general. She made a pretty open comment how much she'd like to bring Dru to B&B (think Eileen Davidson)...

[Shawn]

WORD.

I couldn't agree more.

[Terpsichore]

She's an original, that's for sure! Thanks!

[Foucault]

Love this woman. And now with no African American actress (let alone a strong one who's intuned with her roots) to replace her, the Winters are kuputz! VR jumped off a sinking ship, and I'm proud of her for doing so. Let's face it. The show isn't the same anymore, and neither are the Winters.

Next.

[dragonflies]

Love how Victoria speaks her mind, I'm gonna miss her and Dru

[crc]

Exactly!

Some people really just don't get it and need to take a nice cool glass of 'Hater-ade'! It's kind of funny, actually, and quite telling how some people can get all bent out of shape over her candor and speaking the TRUTH! But whatev!

I think Victoria Rowell is the most dynamic actress in daytime! PERIOD! A prize jewel that one, and daytime and Y&R specifically will be less rich without her.

I'm going miss her and this is definitely a loss on Y&R's part.

At the same time, who the heck does she think she is for demanding to be apart of the Y&R writing staff? Cooper, Braden, Bergman, and Scott don't even ask for that and they've been there longer than she has. I know TPTB weren't going to tolerate an actor having overwhelming say in the direction of the writing, because that would be bias and a seen as a total conflict of interest. While I do agree that actors should have *some* with the direction of their character and storyline, they sure as hell don't deserve to dictate it. I just think if she left mainly over this matter, than it's really sad, since actors with more seniority on the show don't even ask for that.
