Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 Spit takes have been happening in Hollywood for decades. I hardly think it was a malicious thing. And of course she wasn't going to spit on Maura or Yvonne. They came after Rowell, and she wasn't going to risk the same thing happening again.

Members DeeeDee Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 That wasn't a spit take. A spit take is PLANNED by all parties INVOLVED. It won't be. Right after she spits on ANY white actress because "the scene warrants it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 Did I miss where MS cleared it with VR? She talked to others, but did she ok it with VR since it wasn't scripted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'm a few pages back but I just want to say it is unacceptable that a show that had an unbreakable lock on a black audience and black canvas for well over a decade, if not longer, does not have adequate hairstylists for black performers. It's not like Y&R didn't have these women frontburner for years. AMC only got Debbi Morgan back a few years ago, and before that they weren't exactly frontburnering the AA folks, yet her hair looked fine! I always said that the only people that could break Y&R's lock on a black audience was Y&R itself, and that's exactly what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'm saying it again. The fact that daytime still warrants conversations like this is a perfect example of why the genre in its current form deserves to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 It could be daytime, it could be primetime, it could be anything. It really doesn't matter. These same issues can be found in any arena of the business, daytime just lags behind because of its perceived demographic and value and the same people circulating through it. The bullshit is of slightly higher grade when you get into primetime or cable, but I see the same strains, just mutated, anywhere else, for a variety of minorities. Primetime's got a lot of old hacks too. We just call it something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 That's the thing. If she wasn't trying to be malicious, she was certainly trying to upstage and surprise her scene partner which shows her lack of theatre training if not professionalism. You always run such things by your scene partner. Sure, there are instances when trying something surprising in performance can yield wonderful results, but if somebody spit all over my costume without warning...

Members SFK Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 Regardless of race, MS would NEVER pull something like that on the likes of EB and JC out of respect (and fear), and every scene partner deserves that same respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 Wasn't Eric Braeden pissed when Heather Tom slapped him in a scene and made sure that never happened with anyone again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 Bergman said he and Jill have been friends for years. I think Auntie Jack is safe. JFP tends to clash with most soap divas. Yep and he claims it's because he doesn't like anyone man or woman hitting each other but in the same sentence then spoke about how the men in daytime need to get their balls back and he didn't see how people could've gotten offended by Victor tossing Diane out the ambulance.

Members SFK Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 If MS spit all over his suit, he would have called "COT!" and done "everything within his paaaa" not to snatch her up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 If VR really didn't know MS was going to do a spit take, I can understand why she would be mad. But to talk about it so much after the fact? What's the point? It happened. She apologized. It's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 Pretty much. Yep. And that was PLANNED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
