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.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
