As a black man that's dealt with being "too white" for the better part of my life, I just can't even go there with NB's comments. They're just sad and ignorant and that's as much as ill say.

Ugh, reading Twitter gives me a damn migraine. So many losers, loonies, sycophants, and their twisted logic and veiled agendas... just [!@#$%^&*] all of it, I'm so sick of everything soap-related and the people who have taken it upon themselves to become the "voices" of this genre. Where the hell are Agnes Nixon and Harding Lemay, people who I would actually enjoy following...

Get George Reinholt a Twitter and we may find out.

Nelson is an ignorant assh-le I wish he would go away forever. His tweets about VR were all kinds of disgusting.

Thery were racist and vile. What an idiotic move. VR is already a hot subject and he throws gasoline on the fire.

I just can't with him and any actor that supports him.

Someone should re-tweet all Nela** tweets to her so she can see what he is saying. And oh please, VR is not costing us Dru. Les Moonves and Steve Kent are.

Seriously thought, all these people need to grow the f*ck up and realize that this a dying business. VR and the stars that got beef with her need to sit down and hash out their differences and then move on.

IMO, I don't know why VR just don't take Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva and turn it into a pilot then try and sell it to VH1, Lifetime, TBS, or BET -- stations that typically target all or predominately black audiences and seeking more original dramas. She'd get the last laugh, as the book was juicy and she has what it takes (along with the connections) to make the show a hit if she went that route.

It's not just Y&R, Rowell was blacklisted from the entire daytime community...

I don't think that the show would have to be daytime. More primetime-like if she was to go ahead with it. She'd definitely have the audience. . .

Well someone asked her about working on her own show

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Already have, it's being considered. “@KimMisspie: @victoriarowell Do it, create your own show Fans will follow everybody will see”

After I read this response I had to log in and say Thank You!!!

You're welcome. I've long felt that way and I always speak up when people are asking for or threatening to close threads on here. It's annoying. If some people took their posts too far, then juse the quote function to tell them so. Debating isn't against the rules.

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Jeanne Cooper/Mrs. Chancellor - old school cool

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Melody Thomas Scott is just plain MEAN

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Crystal Khalil/Lily is just disturbing and cruel

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Lauralee Bell/Crickett, her father's daughter...kind

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Jess Walton should've been a movie star, she's that good.

I think all of these opinions are on point, especially the one about Jess Walton. I'd kill to see Dru and Jill in story together, perhaps creating their own company or running a division of Jabot or Newman Enterprises together.

oh boy *rme*

Nelson Branco ‏@nelliebranco

When Victoria Rowell asked me to write her book she wanted it inferred she slept with Bill Bell. Discuss. Which is why I turned it down.

Not buying this for a minute, and even if it's true, he's totally out of line posting that on Twitter for the whole world to see, including Bell's widow and children.

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Kimberlin Brown/Sheila - FANTASTIC! I wld hire her all day long. Unfortunately, there's an actrrresss who guards the gate on that one

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Heather Tom? Hummph, please. No thanks.

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Don Diamont - he can't help it.

Victoria Rowell ‏@victoriarowell

Thad Luckenbill - If only God could clone that one.

Hmmm, I wonder what her beef was with Heather Tom. I'm also curious what she meant by the Don Diamont tweet.. And I totally co-sign on the Thad Luckinbill love- I've always gotten the "down to earth, genuinely nice guy" vibe from and it's nice to know she's in agreement with me on that.

Did you all know that Thad is actually Lucille Ball's grandson?

\

Nelson's really turned on her.

I wonder what happened between them...

I don't think he "turned" on her per se- I actually have always thought that he wasn't her biggest cheerleader. He was, after all, the soap journalist that did the interview with Peter Bergman where he called her CRAZY.

*rolls up sleeves* oh no she didn't just go after Heather Tom. stay pressed VR, Heather can act circles around you in her sleep

Both are fantastic actresses but now way does Tom "act circles" around VR.. Quite the contrary. VR is powerful in the Drucilla role, so charasmatic and brilliant. She's by far the better actress of the two. The only thing I think Tom does better at is crying real tears in her scenes.

He wants to keep sleeping with a certain someone.

WHO? Greg Rikaart? CLB? Josh Morrow? Kristoff? C'mon DeeeDee, spill it! If you don't want to post it in here, please then, by all mean PM me.

Yeah she's coming across as utterly cray cray

I don't think so at all. She's just outspoken and doesn't fear anyone out there.

Victoria Rowell‏@victoriarowell

Sharon Case - one smooth customer. That's one actress that hits her mark, knows her lines & doesn't take the job home. Kudos.

Totally word, especially about her acting. I LOVE the Rowell/Case friendship, almost as much as I love, Love, LOVED the Dru/Sharon friendship we got during Rowell's final year on the show.

I personally enjoy her honesty. She clearly loved the character and the show.

She sure did and does. She wouldn't be speaking out so vehemently if she didn't care about the show.

That's what I meant about using the stuff that happened at Y&R to motivate her. I don't care if it's a web series, a network series, theater or a writing gig somewhere. Stop trying to fix what happened years ago and do something positive and creative. Support another project. VR would've made a great choice for J's mom on The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl. Whatever issues people may have with Venice, Gotham or Imaginary Bitches at least Chappell, Byrne and Riegel put their energy into creating something new. VR needs to do the same.

Stop bitching and start creating.

Did you all know that Thad is actually Lucille Ball's grandson?

I used to think this too, but it's actually not true. Thad isn't the son of Larry Luckinbill (Robin Strasser's ex and the father of her two boys) and Lucie Arnaz.

If Nelson thinks having a British accent is white apparently his racist ass isn't familiar with Idris Elba.

Loving the Jeanne Cooper, Jess Walton and Eric Braeden love from VR!

VR on EB: Now I'll share about best & brightest left on Young & Restless are Eric Braeden who has to take crap everyday. He's amazingly resilient.

Hmmm, I wonder what her beef was with Heather Tom.

She elaborated more on Heather Tom, "no one said anything about talent, I mentioned attitude"

Kimberlin Brown/Sheila - FANTASTIC! I wld hire her all day long. Unfortunately, there's an actrrresss who guards the gate on that one

I wonder who's VR is referring to "Unfortunately, there's an actrrresss who guards the gate on that one", when it comes to Kimberlin Brown. I don't think it's Tracey Bregman, as I've never heard anything about off-screen friction between her and KB, or Michelle Stafford, as she and KB haven't interacted on Y&R.

Others she writes nice things about:

Tricia Cast "reminded me of Jodi Foster. Smart, level-headed, powerful actress. Cld do film, primetime I'd she wanted to"

Bryton James "like my own son, respectful, gloriously talented"

Doug Davidson "very funny man"

Amelia Heinle "OMG, an angel. Just great. Pleasant, easily cld do other things. Thad's wife & a mommy too"

Kate Linder "is a SAINT"

Brenda Epperson "shld come back"

Diana Barton "wld give all those Y&R diva's a run“

It seems her biggest beefs were with Stafford, Bergman, Khalil, and MTS.
