Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 It was also a character she probably sees as hers, one she spent a long time investing in and fighting for. I guess that's very difficult to give up, even if you say oh, she quit, who does she think she is, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 I wish they would just recast and really send the message of how irrelevant this loon is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have no problem with her missing the roel and I won't call her a loon. I don't understand why she keeps paiting herself ina negative light. She shouldn't be telling people not to support the advertisers while also trynig to get back on the show. It's time she moved on and did something positive. Like a poster said in this thread she could've been worknig on a writing program or acting program instead of sitting on twitter bitching. Channel some of that agression into postivity. Hell write her own soap opera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 So it's marginalized people's job to provide opportunities that should already be afforded them? If the Black soap writers not hired by Daytime would create soaps that would fix everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 That doesn't send a message of irrelevance - if anything, it sends a message of being reactionary. She basically was the character, and generally, she was probably the only one keeping "that black storyline," as MAB called it, as something worthwhile on Y&R. I'm just sorry it all had to end this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 Never said it would fix everything but it's a hell opf alot more productive than sitting on twitter bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 Nope, because they didn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about diversity AND neither did VR until she quit in a snit over not getting an Emmy nomination, flung accusations of racism around, and realize that she could not get her job back. Let me add, VR is not an activist. She hasn't gotten off her butt to do anything to address these issues. All she does is spout self-indulgence crap, hiding her self-interest in desperately resurrecting her nonexistence career under the guise of caring about diversity.

Members Vee Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 I think Y&R actually does need Victoria Rowell. The problem is that she has now effectively made that impossible all by herself. When you're having a multiple-day Twitter screed about named Sony and network execs and pushing fans to boycott key products while also asking to come back you've reached the domain of the lunatic fringe. Before this I thought they'd eventually come to terms despite all the drama, but this latest makes me think that'll never happen. It also doesn't help that they finally have a decent black heroine in Angel Conwell, IMO. Regardless of what they do or don't with those people on Y&R, though, I think Rowell has helped submerge herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeeeDee Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 Minority directors/actors/producers have created tons of work for years but it doesn't get seen. But she did. She has been vocal for years about diversity on Y&R & Daytime in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 And there's this thing called the internet and webshows are becoming more popular. And this thing called Netflix where more and more indie films are becomnig viewable. I've seen alot of black productions on there that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Members DeeeDee Posted February 28, 2013 Members Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yet nobody asks why they have to go that route to be seen at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
