Branco does it again and I quote " TVG: No one talks to my Adrienne like that and gets away with it. You have balls! Balls I’d like to worship! "

Read it here! Pleeeease discuss!

Here's more tidbits:

TVG: You told me at the Primetime Emmys that you dated Graz at one point.

AF: Yeah, we did years ago. I think that’s why we’re best friends now. We never really clicked romantically. We were meant to be best friends. He’s like my brother. [Laughs] Maybe that sounds a little weird! No, it’s a great friendship because he gives me the best advice, especially when it comes to relationships since we dated and he knows what I’m like! It’s great to have an ex that you can confide in, you know? He always knows what I’m going to do in a relationship before I do. We’ve been close friends for years.

TVG: I’m so happy you’re on my favourite soap, Y&R. I think your character is the future of Genoa City.

AF: Listen, after Sunset Beach, I’m happy to have been working on the top two-rated soaps in the medium. I’ll give you a scoop: I hated being on Sunset Beach. They were so mean to me. Truthfully, I was nice and professional, but they made me feel like this acting business was unhealthy and mean-spirited. Luckily, I left the show, and two weeks later I booked B&B. I love Brad Bell for hiring me. You know, it was hard to play Randy Spelling’s love interest when his father, Aaron, was the boss. It was really weird. Aaron’s eyes were always on me whenever I was in a love scene with Randy. He even made me chop off all my hair despite the fact that I refused to initially. I loved my long hair. I even cried when they made me chop it all off. And then Aaron actually yelled at me for crying over the incident. My gripe was that there was no story reason behind it. You don’t do that to a kid.

The biggest WTF? though was this:

TVG: Would you like Andrea Evans to reprise her B&B role as Amber’s mother, Tawny? I’d love to see Tawny and Katherine do battle over Amber.

AF: It’s funny, because I was talking to our executive producer, Paul Rauch, the other day and out of the blue he mentioned Andrea Evans. I told him, “You do know she played Amber’s mother on B&B, right?” But he didn’t know! He said, “That’s really good to know; that’s great.” So you never know. I think it’d be amazing, but I think the only way Tawny could visit Genoa City is if Amber’s in a really good place so her mom will want to either screw it up or cash in on her daughter’s success.

Can you keep that avatar forever please? LOL!

i didn't even know she was on Sunset Beach before this interview. And I can not believe PR did not know AE played Amber's mom on B&B. This leads me to think MAB has never discussed it with him either. Did AE get along with people at B&B/Bell Dramatic?

Classic. Possibly 2nd to "Australian racism." ROTFLMAO!

I loved B&B Amber so I am glad that Adrienne got that gig.

Co-creator and headwriter was none other than Bob Guza. Bet you are not surprised.

Nelson claiming that Amber is the future of Y&R-God forbid.

A little of Amber,and I mean a little,goes a loooong way.

Quite often you read of execs not knowing about the past of the shows they work on.

It's sad when fans know more than the people involved.

Adrienne saying that Rauch was interested in the Andrea Evans tidbit,doesn't amount to much-if he couldn't be bothered finding out in the first place.

Ok... no. NO. You cannot post an interview like this where Adrienne Frantz is being all adorable and [!@#$%^&*] because it makes me like Amber! And I don't want to. I want to tolerate her because she's with the Graz. Plus hating B&B's Amber has been a constant in my life for @ 10 years.

I still think that without the Daniel pairing, Amber would have been a non-starter on Y&R. Lynn Marie Troll wrote her horribly. The Hooker Diaries with that meth ATWT chick? Internet porn? The mole over her left boob that Lily recognized? :blink: Plum? The money scam? Shudder shudder SHUDDER.

Re: Aaron Spelling. I'm sad to hear this -- I always heard that he was tough but professional, never deliberately cruel. Unfortunately, AF was too young and the character of Tiffany too underwritten to become the David Silver to Randy's Donna Martin.

And at least Tori had more than one facial expression in her acting box of tricks ("hounddog" and "drunken hounddog"). Randy had only one: shouty.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.

      She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.

      I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.

      I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.

      When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!

      In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it.

      I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway.

      @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
