Members Kendall Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry I disagree,...The carmen Story was not a supporting story..It was the focus of Y&R for a while and with case..She was just a supporting in the phick storyline and the work rowell did..She deserved to be pre nominated in the lead category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 I don't think we disagree as much as you think. I think that the Carmen story was featured enough for it to be considered lead, though I don't for a minute believe they pimped it as heavily as Phyllis & Sharon's storylines, or even Brad's, which by default would be Victoria's. BUT.... Again, as I said, just who was Rowell supporting all year anyway? No One! Unlike some Y&R lead actress nominees.... (cough! Jeanne Cooper! Cough! cough!)

Members Actor87 Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 A brave woman, a classy actress, a well spoken businesswoman, and one hell of a human being! Gotta love her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 The thing that struck me about that interview was the comment about Dru being out on the cliff dor 30 years. She really sounds like she is done and done with Y&R this time around. Normally, I would hope to see her pop up on another soap, but it's hard for me to do that when someone leaves Y&R. That's usually where I hope my favs are going to end up when they leave some place else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Southern Honey Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 I totally reject the notion that racism is some game we are playing and pull out that "get out of jail free card" when necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MoTheGreat Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 I agree these people think they can write for everybody. If they going to try to write for everybody at least get imput for the character by the actor or the actress that is playing the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Helena Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 I think that believing you deserve an Emmy for your work is pretty egotistical. If she didn't ever get one, it's because the people voting didn't agree with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 Didn't she had to share her win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yes I believe Nancy Lee Grahn and Debbi Morgan shared, so really it was very close to there never being a woman of color on that stage. Such a shame because there are many talented black actors that has been wasted or in the case of Davetta/Rowell, snubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 Stupid, stupid Y&R letting her go. Dru is up there as one of the greatest soap characters EVER. Race doesn't come into it. Dru was just awesome -- and that was in large part due to VR. I love that she gave props to Sharon Case and the backstage crew, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marilyn_M Posted April 11, 2007 Members Share Posted April 11, 2007 Not its not. Put yourself in her shoes. It is a matter of simply understanding where she is coming from, which you do not. The fact that she has won 11 NAACP awards and 0 emmy awards causes some eyebrow raising. Now I could see if she was a bad actress but she isn't, she is wonderful, a hard worker who deserves some slack. She made a great point by pointing out the lack of diversity in soaps period. Its just a shame if you really think about and the fact that she is black and hasn't won AND only one other black actress has won and she had to share it? That is just a little suspect. It is 2007! I would say this is like the academy awards but I can't because they have finally gotten their act together, so why can't the daytime Emmy's/soaps do the same? Its time to take the rose colored glasses off folks and see the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
