Per DC, Tonya Lee Williams returns as Olivia next week.

There's no such thing as an African-Canadian. The "American" in African-American refers to North America.

No, the 'American' does not refer to North America. In Canada, medical records do not ever refer to 'African American' as an ethnic background.

Here's some background reading on the term 'African American' so that you won't make the mistake again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American

Tonya Lee Williams is fabulous. I'm glad she's booked work outside of Y&R...her comments about MAB wanting to get the 'Black Storyline' up and running again are interesting because it shows that MAB is very keen on keeping those characters segregated from the rest of the show. Awful.

I'm trying to figure out why they aged her so much. Half the guys she's related to or thinks she related to like Billy. Unles that little secret going to come out that she isn't a Abbott.

good lord dont give them any ideas. Ashly learns that it wasnt Victor's sperm that was used to inseminate her, which leads into a Who's the Daddy story with Abby searching for her father. She learns that its Gloria's ex husband, thus making she and Eden sisters. Considering she is no longer Noah's aunt, they start to get feelings for each other as Noah must choose between the 2 feuding sisters

I thought yo uwas going to say that Abby finds out that Tucker is really her father. Well that leads an opening for Abby & Nick.

you havent heard? Y&R and B&B are one soap. They keep swapping actors and characters back and forth, so why not stories? Abby is going to hook up with Noah before moving onto his father who used to be her brother. When she gets pregnant, Victor gets to be a grandfather and possibly a great grandfather or great-great grandfather depending on which Newman man knocks her up

I don't really care. I would have said "black actress" but I was trying to be PC.

so Ho-Livia can mess with yet another of her best friend's men? How typical yet not surprising. If that does happen, I would hope that Ashley actually drop her and be done with her

Olivia had eyes for Neil first. It's Trashley who's in the wrong here.

How ignorant.

how so? Olivia and Neil was well over a decade ago and she hasnt been around for a while. Im not watching so havnet seen any of Neil/Ashley but if they are dating, then that means he is Ashley's man, despite any prior claim Olivia had. Thats liking saying Ashely has no right to be with Neil if Victoria decided she wanted him now just bc she had a thing with him about 15 or so years ago

I don't know how you feel about the Gwen, Ethan, & Theresa set up on Passions. But the same person that saying Ashley was in the wrong because Olivia had him first. Explain to me that Gwen was wrong because Theresa and Ethan was written as a super couple. Even though Ethan was dating Gwen.

In her theory Dru is in the wrong for going with Neil since he liked Olivia first.

Haha, Im not even going to get into that one but I know exactly what you are saying

Yall can't think this will amount to anything? Same with Simone/Dru. I can't wait to see how awkward it is between Olivia and Malcolm, a former supercouple. And I just love all the fanfare the return of a 15 year vet got. That's what being black gets ya! Look at Andrea Evans. A Y&R dayplayer back for one day and we have big splashy articles a month in advance.

No. It refers to the United States of America.

Yeah right that lying bitch MAB wants black storyline on & popping or whatever the hell she said. See this why TLW get treated the way she does. Personally I can't see her or Dru with this Malcolm. Another thing Olivia isn't the one who bring in viewers & these assholes know this. CKlily is worse then Olivia. This family needs a sexy Malcolm or down to earth Dru. I'm not talking about sassy & she also knows she all that [!@#$%^&*].

What century is this?

That’s great because fans have been worried. Your film festival celebrates diversity whereas Y&R isn’t so diverse anymore.

No. And you know, [head writer Marie Bell], addressed it with me. She said “I want to get that black storyline up and pumping again.”

Have you worked with Darius McCrary (the new Malcolm) yet?

What Maria likes to remind me is that she went back to the original bible and Bill [bell; the show’s creator and former head writer] had always wanted the character to be “this” kind of character. But then Shemar came on the scene and he just went with “that.”

I watched some episodes of Beulah that were put out on DVD and they had a much stronger and more vibrant black presence, and the blacks were treated with more respect. What does that say.

"That black storyline"? Really? LOL!

Number one, reading between the lines, it seems like TLW (and probably others) have questioned MAB and Rauch's decision to hire McCrary. And number two? Malcolm is SUPPOSED to be off-camera, making sandwiches. So there. :-P
