BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

She could be a sister of Anita or even a member of her girl group. I will say, the only real disappointment I have is that she isn't in the cast but never say never. This is just the beginning and they shouldn't be trying to do everything at once. They need to save some hidden gems for future roles.

[Vee]

Fair enough. I wasn't aware they'd employed her again beyond special appearances.

No Mike Manning mention or chat with him? What a disgrace!!

I think it's time to move Beyond the Whites for a day.

Her role on Good Sam was like a hail mary to save the show. She was great and the character was big and flashy. I thought the show was good but it wasn't a CBS show. It would've worked better on NBC or ABC. It felt too young and sexual for CBS.

I intentionally watched every episode of "Good Sam" while it was on, just to support Victoria Rowell's presence - to support CBS hiring her.

She’d be good in a Sally Spectra type role to play off Anita’s Stephanie Forrester vibes.

We've got The White and the Whiteful, Generally White, The White and the Blackless, and Days of the Whites. Plenty to choose from.

Nice to see them showing clips from GH for Jon and all(?) of Cady's soaps, and acknowledging MVJ's history there.

Anita's past (girl group, going solo) sounds identical to Diana Ross. I wonder if she was as big before getting married.

They skipped over her time on DAYS as Jennifer Horton.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one getting the "Diana Ross" reference of Anita's past.

MVJ is a major fan of the Supremes and Motown, so it makes sense.

The second part was nice. It was awesome to see them highlight the second tier characters and past soap work for many of the actors. Daytime performers are so of the most dynamic and versatile talents!

 

Me either. But good to know...

So would I, Vicky would kill that.

[Vee]

No, they mentioned DAYS. I think they showed a brief clip too with her three other shows. (And they showed Daphnee as Rachel Gannon. )

Interesting that two of the grandchildren have never done TV before. I do like their energy so hopefully they do well.

Tamara Tunie was emotional talking about a missed opportunity, which apparently was her getting dumped from the Steppenwolf play Purpose (directed by Phylicia Rashad) as it moved to Broadway.

[Soapsuds]

It has nothing to do with him being white!

You apparently didn't watch because they mentioned it.

[Liberty City]

Oh, must've missed that. I saw Rosanna, Dixie and Kelly. But did not notice Jennifer Rose.

'

Mhmm. That is it; they informed her they weren't taking her with them. Which kind of blows, but was a blessing in disguise.
