Members MoTheGreat Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm not talking about that, you said Davetta didn't want to be there. I remember the only person that took up for Davetta treatment was BJ. While KSJ wasn't saying anything until a lot of viewers was getting on CK big mouth. Then he try to contact Davetta again. I'm sure Davetta didn't trust him after that. That's why I will always respect BJ because he became the real mini Dru after Davetta left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 Actually, I was referring to y&r_fan, who said Davetta acted like she didn't want to be there. But I apologize for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 If your co-workers were treating you horribly at your job you might not be comfortable at work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 EXACTLY Carl. But this is the same show where Kristoff was almost fired for mildly doing the same thing his co-stars do constantly (criticizing the writing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 That's true, DeeeDee. And it is unfortunate how DS was treated by many of her co-workers, too. As I've said, though, I'm not one who was so mightily impressed with her stint. She was (and is) better than CK, but (IMO) that is really, really, REALLY not saying much.

Members DeeeDee Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 And that's fine. But let's not act like Davetta was working under ideal circumstances either. There was a reason Y&R waited until Vicki wasn't on set to fire her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 On the subject of Victoria begging for her job back, I've never seen that as the case. Her first two books were actual successes and she toured those books for a LONG time. You wouldn't tour as long as she did if people weren't interested. She was appearing on The View and Wendy Williams as well to promote. Then she got married and has been travelling endlessly. She didn't start actively pursuing acting jobs until this year and since she started she's had huge success. Movies, guest starring roles on Lets Get Together, plus a recurring role on Single Ladies. She also recently had a second callback for a role in the Hunger Games sequel. She's hardly sitting at home and waiting for Y&R to come calling. I think she would return to Y&R if it worked out, but if it doesn't she doesn't care. She's not a soap star who depends on soaps, she can easily have a primetime/film career. She left that behind FOR Y&R. Right now she's getting back into the swing of things, but I say give it another year and she's going to land a major role whether it be on primetime or film.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 I miss the Dru and Mamie scenes a lot. They were golden Y&R...William J Bell era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 You can thank Jack Smith for getting rid of Veronica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 Smith got rid of almost all of the recurring supporting characters that used to make the show unique. Though more damage came afterwards, Smith definitely got the ball rolling on some of the major destruction to happen to this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 And LML and MAB for not bringing her back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 If I had one wish, it would be for them to bring back all the supporting characters like Mamie,Lynne,Gina,Mary and Miguel but I guess Jack Smith really screwed them all over.

Members DeeeDee Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 Smith was to Y&R what McTavish was to AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 That's something Alden never gets credit for. Fans these days constantly complain about how Y&R's cast is "too big" & actors should be fired but Alden utilized EVERYBODY. As with any other headwriter she had her favorites but the last time the show had any real balance was during her stint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 I may be wrong but it seemed like Alden used those characters more than Bill did, (Not that Bill forgot about them) Didn't Patty Weaver and Tony Pena go on contract while she was HW?
