Exclusive: Tonya Lee Williams Heads to The Bold and the Beautiful

Well that's random, but it's nice to know that yet again all the black characters must be related. If B&B is serious about trying for more diversity, then how about dumping Marcus and bringing in Olivia and Nate?

I wonder what the "B&B first" will be and I hope TLW gets to come back to tape more episodes.

It's a shame B&B will probably give her more to do that Y&R. It saddens me that Y&R doesn't utilize her history when she makes those bizarre appearances now and then. We have no Nate, her history with Neil is forgotten and they treat her like she's Malcolm's mother-in-law, not one half of a 90s supercouple. The only thing they get right is the occasional friendship with Ashley being acknowledged. If she were white, such an important character would've had at least ONE of MAB's rushed 2-month frontburner stories.

ETA:

That interview made me sad! She's interested, but Y&R is wasting her. Hopefully her return this year amounts to something. If not, hopefully B&B calls her.

Tonya

Love Tonya, would love for Olivia to make a permanent move to B&B.

Could Justin be her brother because I know they not going to put her with somebody name Barber, then again this is B&B. Don't that Daisy chick got a child on B&B, could Nate be the father.

B&B would use her just as much as Y&R does, or rather less considering there's less time

But at least the work environment would be a happy one

Props to Bell. Have to say it was BRILLIANT to give him Barber surname. I can't believe we didn't pick up on it! Glad to hear that Tonya will be spending a few months on Y&R! She is just pure awesomeness.

I want you, Tonya!

If I felt better about AMC right now, I'd totally campaign for them to pick her up.

With B&B she'd at least get one story, then fade into the background. Y&R is giving her nothing.

Interesting news. At least she'll get some airtime.

I knew this would happen sooner or later!! I was so hoping he would be their relative!! They should add her to the cast along with Nathan Jr.!

Awesome news.

So Justin IS a Barber after all. With Liv in, Drucilla might be on the horizon... :-)

BTW: did I get this right, Tonya will be back on Y&R regularly???
