Members NothinButAttitude Posted December 6, 2015 Members Share Posted December 6, 2015 That's good to hear. I keep saying she's too talented to be on Y&R anyways. It's a sinking ship anyways. She should try and capitalize on her TVOne success and start pitching original programming to them. She has the fan following. All she needs is the right script/show for it to be a success.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted December 6, 2015 Members Share Posted December 6, 2015 That wasn't a webseries that was a pilot she wanted to shop around Network tv. She should be pitching to the networks she's had recent success with and leave this frivolous lawsuit alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 6, 2015 Members Share Posted December 6, 2015 Aspire and UP (and TVOne and Bounce) are great options as well. Agree. Anyone who wants (back) on a soap these days must be either broke or needing more time with their families or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted December 6, 2015 Members Share Posted December 6, 2015 That's what I keep telling people who keep trying to argue over returns. If someone who isn't a vet is returning to soaps then they need the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 6, 2015 Members Share Posted December 6, 2015 You know it's bad when I see someone like Justin Hartley on Y&R and I think, "Come on, man, you're better than this!". And I don't even LIKE Justin Hartley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 6, 2015 Members Share Posted December 6, 2015 It's her money to waste and she'll get what she deserves by continuing this ridiculous lawsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted December 6, 2015 Members Share Posted December 6, 2015 I don't think that it is a money issue with her. I've always thought it was deeper. She somewhat alludes to it in her fictional novel, Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva. I think it has to do with her relationship with Bill Bell. She alludes that the two had a father/daughter relationship in the novel, and I think it mirrored in real life. I think that Bill was one of the few father figures she had (as we all know she was a foster child throughout her life), and Bill filled that void for her. I think being at a Bell soap is her way of being closer to him, paying homage to him in some sort. I think her filing suits and constantly pursuing them are out of hurt. Y&R was her home and Bill provided a safety net for her. I just think her wanting back on Y&R was always deeper than money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 6, 2015 Members Share Posted December 6, 2015 If that's true then she should pay for a really great psychiatrist to get past that grief. It would be a lot more economical and effective than paying a lawyer's bill. Returning to Y&R isn't going to fill the void left by Bill Bell - Y&R hasn't been Y&R for a decade.

Members kalbir Posted December 7, 2015 Members Share Posted December 7, 2015 Come to think of it, that makes a lot of sense.Victoria Rowell dedicated "Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva" to Bill Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted December 7, 2015 Members Share Posted December 7, 2015 The Bell's probably don't have mutual feelings, as she was also suing them in this lawsuit, and obviously none of them have cared enough to rehire her. There's a reason why even Brad Bell won't touch her, and you know how much he likes ex-Y&R talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 7, 2015 Members Share Posted December 7, 2015 She has never been serious about any webseries or any book. Those were always public (and embarrassing) ploys to try and get back on Y&R. I think she feels she's expected to play a certain role, when in reality I think if she'd just come back to the table quietly she might be onscreen now.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 7, 2015 Members Share Posted December 7, 2015 Sorry, I misspoke. I know that there wasn't an entire series in the can, I 'referred to it as a 'series as opposed to a one time event, like a movie. Even when Shemar Moore was shopping around his project, he called it a movie even though technically it hadn't been shot yet in earnest. I was kinda using it as a label to identify the type of project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted December 7, 2015 Members Share Posted December 7, 2015 oh i know but She didn't want it for the Web though she said it was for actual TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 7, 2015 Members Share Posted December 7, 2015 That was for TV??! You cannot be serious! Uh-uh, she should've made it for the Web, that had online potential but with all the competition on broadcast, I don't even see NBC going for it and they strike me as the most desperate of the big networks. Come to think of it Bounce TV or TV One, or Aspire maybe. It really does look like a better fit for online though but hey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
