Members Taoboi Posted March 11 Members Share Posted March 11 I felt that as well because CBS owns it and they would want to spend that money to make that money. And as @BetterForgotten mentioned, the NAACP also involved, I'm sure they will have a good budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted March 11 Members Share Posted March 11 (edited) Victoria Rowell is on good terms with CBS and she appeared at the Y&R 50th anniversary party in March 2023, with her photos taken in front of a CBS logo backdrop, and posted the pics on her IG. I don't know if she's worked things out with SteveKent/Sony or not, though. One of the things VR wanted most was Black people in production/management/writing. Griffith fired a lot of staff, so that has gone backwards. I don't know how she'd feel about Y&R now. I could see her doing Gates, but of course I want Drucilla. I don't know what to think! I just want to watch VR in whatever productions she feels good about. Edited March 11 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted March 11 Members Share Posted March 11 Unfortunately, I'm not holding my breath of ever seeing VR on CBS Daytime again - it's been almost 17 years since she was last on the show. She's probably never coming back to daytime in general (whether by choice or not). No other soap has even tried to get her. Who I could see? Maybe Vivica A Fox's washed-up behind making a return. MVJ did write that infamous Generations catfight (about the only memorable thing that show had going for it). What's she noticeably doing beyond plugging CarShield these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 11 Members Share Posted March 11 She also produces and co-stars in those "Wrong" movies that Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) airs frequently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 11 Members Share Posted March 11 I can see VR doing The Gates. I don't think she will ever be back at Y&R/Sony given the long-standing status quo, which is a real shame. But yes, as others have said, if they want a good lead-in for the show and are reinvesting in soap opera then they'll still need to flip Y&R in a big way, and that means finally, truly materially embracing the Black audience they have shunned or fobbed off with lip service for almost 20 years. If it was me and Dru is off the table (and you can't at least have her do a ghost/vision appearance for the kids) it would start with just bringing back Mishael Morgan's Hillary. That's the closest to Dru you're gonna get without all the BTS drama that keeps Dru gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted March 11 Members Share Posted March 11 Vivica A. Fox was in the BET+ movie "Sworn Justice" playing Mishael Morgan's mother, released before Christmas 2023. This is the promo for it: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted March 11 Members Share Posted March 11 I halfway expected that promo to end with Vivica saying, "Girl, looks like you met The Wrong Santa Claus." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted March 12 Members Share Posted March 12 My mom posted this news on my Facebook timeline an hour ago and I thought it was a joke or something so I came here to find out if it was real. Obviously this is wonderful news for soaps. The past decade has shown that Black audiences can brings numbers to sustain programming in primetime and I think CBS is banking on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
