Members #1_Bitch_Boy Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 Why doesn't she just apply for a job on General Hospital ? I hear they're hiring on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 I would love to see VR on TV in any capacity. She's a terrific actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 But she's a black female. Maybe she needs to have her blue eyes & blonde hair daughter to audition for a soap. Matter of fact, they could have gotten VR daughter as Mariah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EastMA2 Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 VR is a nasty, viscious, vindictive person. Y&R will never take that on again. Nor should they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 Why?? Because she specking truth to power. If she was like the rest of the quite black actors & actress. She still be in the same boat not getting anything. So, why she can't speck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm convinced GH is hiring so damn many people, because they want to improve the state of unemployment in this country. (Nice try, guys, but maybe you should leave it to Congress and the White House?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 Oh, I don't believe that VR is nasty nor vindictive. Bitter yes, but I actually think she has good reason. I don't disagree with her telling it like it is but I do think the Twitter format, the 140 characters format is best utilized in short pithy statements or back and forth between multiple parties but any stream of consciousness is going to come off somewhat rambling. A series of blog posts or even a Q&A or online chat, even Reddit, which I don't particularly care for, is more of a no holds barred format. I understand that some soap fans don't want to learn 'how the sausage is made' but it's kind of insulting to artists of color who know darn well this problem exists to hear people trying to dismiss the reality. The only thing is I do wish she would abstain from taking it to the Twitter format because the 140 character format is very restricting and prone to make statements looks excessive.

Members MoTheGreat Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 The problem is that every time something happens on Y&R, her followers will ask her to explain. Especially if it sounds like a recast of her. Or about Neil love life & why it doesn't work. Or something to do with Lily character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 Listen, when VR made her first outright unapologetic public statement about racism in Daytime she was DONE in daytime. Because it has become increasingly worse to call out racist behavior than to be racist. You can do many things in Hollywood. Molest kids. Rape. Be abusive. Do drugs. But you can not call the machine racist. Black ball! They never going to have her back no matter what. The reason you haven't seen her on GH and never will because ABC Daytime doesn't want anyone with her passion and notoriety calling attention to their racist practices.

Members ajsp35801 Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 I mean this as no shade to anyone but after reading the thread I feel it needs to be said. If minorities had the power to change racism then we wouldn't be having this conversation. And that goes for Victoria Rowell as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 Just a few months ago she was up for a role on DAYS and I do recall there being rumors of her on OLTL, but I think that fell apart due to salary demands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 And yet she remains unemployed in daytime. My opinion stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
