I know you like MS. But I see what's going on with my own eyes with CK. I don't know what happen with MS & VR. But they took CKlily away from her black family time & put her with her husband. & we still don't see Devon or Niel coming by. Just her & Cane & any white cast person who visit CKLily character.

I think that she is definitely needs the money. Y&R was her main steady income and it is gone. She was never an in demand actress demanding lots of money. Book royalties do not bring much money in unless the author sells hundreds of thousands copies like Barack Obama or Stephen King. VR told a friend of a friend at one of her book signing that she was going to back on Y&R soon around last year October so she has been trying to get back on Y&R for a very long time.

I hope that she bullies her crazy way back on to Y&R. I love me some Dru.

and that is CK's fault??? Is CK dicatating to MAB the direction that Lily is going in, and who she will and will not interact with???

My liking MS has nothing to do with it, posters on all the boards are assuming that the two mentioned by VR in her backhand tweet are PB and MS, sorry but I would not believe anything that comes out the loud mouth, overbearing, publicity seeking ( I have a new book coming out SOON!!!) diva's mouth, if she said the sun was shining I would have to go see for myself.

Like I said if they wanted her back, she would have been back long before now, if she was such a HOT commodity (not a racist slander - I know she is not "for sale", just a figure of speech) then she would be acting on prime time or on another soap.

Again off-topic, I'm glad someone mentioned Yvonna Kopacz on GL. When I saw her character, Mel, with hottie Cyrus today, all I could think of was they would never have dared give Cyrus to Mel, chemistry or no chemistry, if this piece of [!@#$%^&*] was not going off the air. GL's black representation has been a disgrace for many years.

Okay, topic. I do think VR is difficult and probably a little desperate, not that she needs the money, but like Robin Strasser, I think she feels very connected to her show and wants back on it. I don't think she's totally in the right with this drama, but most of what she says is very valid and the bottom line is all the actors in question, including Rowell, have to learn to work together again, because there's a gaping chest wound in the center of the show without her. That [!@#$%^&*] today was embarrassing.

who is to say that there are ANY actors blocking her coming back??? do you really think that Bell Productions, SONY TELEVISION and CBS are going to be told what to do by ACTORS?!?!?!?!?

again, from talk on the set when she left, there was one hellava good party where her leaving was celebrated by EVERYONE!!!!

Dru has been a central character (definitely one of my favorites) on Y&R for so many years I don't think anyone is arguing that she isn't needed. The question is, do they need her enough to put up with VR's antics. Perhaps VR is wholly justified in her complaints, but it doesn't change the fact that her behavior makes it appear that SHE is the one who causes the trouble. Like many people, I love that she's so outspoken, but in the long run I don't think she helps herself. If anybody thinks she's going to force tptb at Y&R to bow to her will, they're naive.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • 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.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
