That is a WONDERFUL idea given VR's feelings about adoption and foster care. To an extent, it also reminds me of her role as Olivia's mother on The Cosby Show, how she for all intents and purposes abandoned Olivia so she could "find herself."

The way I envisioned her character is that she IS Randi's birth mother, but wants absolutely nothing to do with her. That would be so different from typical adopted children/mother stories. VR's character doesnt regret giving her up and has no desire to be a mother to some grown child and doesnt feel like she should feel guilty about it

So what do we have so far? VR plays Erica Kane's half (black) sister who comes to town and has a steamy affair with Frankie. She feuds with Angie who disapproves and makes an enemy of Randi. Its revealed that she is her birth mother but rejects her and wants nothing to do with her. Oh and she bought the rights to Enchantment, resurrects it and does battle with Erica in the corporate world.

Goldie was Silver's mother! But "Onyx" would be hilarious! bwahaha! I was thinking of a character name, and "Veronica Finn" popped into my head, but "Onyx" is so much better! LOL!

I read that SOC article just last night. She said Debbi wanted to do a guest stint a few years ago, but the producers rejected her. Rowell went on to say that many famous (and legendary) black women have wanted to make cameos on Y&R, but they, too, were rejected. She then mocked Y&R for luring the trainwrecks of Sean Young and David Hasselhoff.

She said there’s been “dialogue” between her and AMC.

I would love it if she joined AMC! I never have been a regular Y&R watcher, but have seen clips of her-- and she’s dynamite. SFK, I love your idea of her coming on as the owner of a cosmetics company. How about Fusion explodes somehow (paging JFAP) and Erica decides to reestablish Enchantment. Then Onyx comes to Pine Valley to battle La Kane for beauty care supremacy!!

    • Thank you for the tag! It's always a pleasure to see these little pearls of memories. 
    • Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion. 
    • Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any. 
    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
