Victoria Rowell to sue CBS

[dragonflies]

She did more than slam the writing though, she made it personal.

[Soapsuds]

She'll be 89 and Y&R will be off the air and she will still be suing CBS….VR doesn't know what the words move on mean.

[JONNYSBRO]

Lol with everyone agreeing me. Also CBS responded by saying she chose to quit in 2007 so that was her leaving after her contract expired. No company is obliged to hired you even after u quit a job and give a two week notice on great terms. A rehire is up to the company's discretion. I work in the restaurant business. There was a former staff member who was good and wanted to return bit we are very over staffed right now. We had to tell them right now we don't have the room for a rehire maybe at a future date. This is someone who left on good terms. Victoria is ridiculous I can't believe any lawyer taking this case.

She keeps stating black and African American but what about Asians on daytime or Asian ep. She doesn't talk about diversity as a whole just the African American viewpoint

[DeeeDee]

She'll never be back on the show & that's fine.

In many ways her absence has actually done her AND Drucilla more favors than staying on the show would have.

[JONNYSBRO]

No it hasn't she lost out on a nice salary and steady job. I think she has had big financial issues. I also forgot cbs gave her a prime time series in the 90s and let her work both gigs. She seems very ungrateful maybe she should get into gratitiude

[Soapsuds]

move on

phrasal verb of move

1. 1.

   go or to leave , especially because one is causing an obstruction.

   "the SON family ordered VR to move on"

[Juliajms]

Well, who knows? Maybe this lawsuit is what she needs to finally put Y&R behind her.

[Soapsuds]

She'll probably sue again in 10 years.

[dragonflies]

So does this mean I can sue Sony and NBC cause they won't get rid of Daniel Jonas despite fans clamoring for it?

[marceline]

She's basically become the equivalent of an ex-girlfriend who drives by her former lover's house every day and imagines how she would redecorate it.

The shame of it is history has proven her right in so many ways but it doesn't matter because she's sabotaged herself. This lawsuit might've done some real good back when we had more shows on the air but now its old drunks screaming at each other in an alley. Plus, it's kind of sadly hysterical that we now have TWO soap-based lawsuits to watch: this one and the PP/ABC one.

[dragonflies]

They should counter sue her for defamation of character

[Vee]

The worst part is, both of those parties who sued could do good. Victoria Rowell should be back on Y&R, and PP's AMC and OLTL deserved to continue. But both lawsuits are, IMO, deeply wrongheaded and foolish, and just dishonest, irrational covers for other objectives. In her case, she has been hoping to bluster her way back onto Y&R for years; in PP's case, their upper management are bankrupt, litigious shysters who are desperate to pay their creditors. Due to Rowell's choices she will likely never be back on CBS again; due to PP's own follies, they were unable to strike a deal which could have kept those shows going long enough for them to turn a real profit and stand on their own two feet - and yes, for better or worse, IMO that would likely have required building a bridge with ABC as opposed to burning it behind them - ABC has money they never did, and PP proved they could produce to a low budget.

Unfortunately, the PP soaps were controlled by irrational, blundering executives who don't know how to meet anyone halfway, and Victoria Rowell has made all the wrong choices in trying to return to daytime.

[DeeeDee]

There are four soaps left. When they're gone they're gone.

History has properly valorized Ellen Holly. The same will happen for Vicki.

[BetterForgotten]

Especially when it comes to those racist ass bitches Agnes Nixon and Erika Slezak!

Not to take anything away from Holly, but I always find it funny those two are often get called out by her

[Khan]

If. Only.
