3. Thursday: Olivia visits Rafe in prison on GL: “Your mother, Natalia, is really hot,” she purrs. “Does she like big boobies? Because I’ve got ‘em. Let’s keep this on the down-low though, OK? Ellen doesn’t like that kind of talk in prison, but I do!”


LMFAO!

Go Y&R! Forget about loving, it's the only show I'm even liking.

Honestly, why is Heather Tom at B&B and not Y&R. The moment they hired her back at Bell she should have been planted back as Victoria. Amelia's just boring enough to pull off Katie Logan. Swap em!

And speaking of Lauren Woodland, I'd love it if they'd bring Britney and/or her cougar mother back.

Swapping Vicki/Katie is the best idea I've heard all week. Heinle would be much better suited as Katie. Great call!

Thanks for your continuing campaign to get Erin Hershey back on daytime. Don't give up! Thanks for posting.

1. Re-hire Victoria Rowell as Drucilla. Memo to the Y&R cast: daytime is dying so put your shameful egos and silly vendettas aside. Why don’t we try something different for a change; oh, I don’t know — HOW ABOUT PUTTING THE SHOW FIRST? Hopefully, exec producer Paul Rauch — who is infamous for refusing to pacify his immature and petty cast — will do the right thing. I would bet my Madonna collection that Rowell’s comeback would result in a huge ratings victory. Perhaps Dru could come back with Shemar Moore (ex-Malcolm) in tow? Think about it. Finally,when Sony and CBS cancels Y&R in 10 years, wouldn’t you rather say, “We tried everything to increase the ratings?” Don’t mess with Bill Bell’s legacy — and one of his favourite characters and actresses, people.


If what we've heard is true, then I'd rather not. Paul Rauch(who is notoriously rumored as someone who hates on-screen diversity) would chew up and spit out Victoria Rowell for being late and trying to run the show. In such a bad economic climate where it is all about maximizing performances in such a short amount of time, there's absolutely no way in hell the show can afford to go into overtime, post-tape scenes, rewrite scenes, and risk going overbudget to deal with an overblown diva.

Everyone talks about the Bill Bell way, and I'd rather see Paul/Maria recast Dru with a fierce, capable actress if Dru is that important to the Winters story. Because that IS the Bill Bell way. I mean, Brenda Dickson? Michelle Stafford? To Bill Bell, the story was more paramount than the actor. And I think that's the problem, there are all of these factors today that interfere with story. Actors who think they ARE the show.

2. Recast Victoria
3. Recast Lily
4. Recast Colleen
5. Kill off Erin, Eden, Erica, Ebony, or whatever that waste of space is called. I’m so sick of shows casting performers who cannot act when there are so many unemployed and talented thespians out there. There’s simply no excuse when the No. 1 show in daytime casts lightweights in major roles. Creator Bill Bell was a master at casting, so let’s honour his legacy.


I co-sign all of these, especially Colleen. If we can't get Amelia and Christel out, we've got to get Tammin Sursok away, far far away from Y&R.

6. Give Tracey Bregman a damn storyline! Why is Lauren playing second fiddle to Gloria and Michael? Is the Emmy winner an accessory now? And let’s subtract Sheila from that request, OK?


Tracy Bregman would be so much more dynamic in a storyline without Christian LeBlanc. I'm not saying we should break them up(I don't think couple swapping is any kind of way to build a good story). But I also think that Michael and Lauren are one of the most boring soap couples ever.

But, per usual Nelson, your honesty is much loved and appreciated!

Meh I've never been a big fan of Heather Tom's Victoria. I'd rather have her back on OLTL as Kelly.

Since Barbara Bloom is very pro-PORT CHARLES, maybe she should get Sarah Aldrich to play Victoria again. *DUCKS*

I never saw her as Victoria, but for me, she was great at stuck up Courtney. Maybe she has grown since then.

I loved Courtney! Sarah Aldrich played a great bitch.

She was really really bad as Victoria. I have a few episodes with her on DVD. I'd put her on the level of Tammin Sursok. It's amazing that they would replace an Emmy winner with someone clearly based only on looks. How bad were the other people competing that she got the job?

I'm on board with this! I prefer Heather Tom as Victoria but I can live with Amelia in the part and the same goes for Christel but as for Tammin Suresucks... no way in HELL will I ever get used to her mediocre (at best) acting. Who the hell is she screwing to be able to keep this job anyway? She's beyond awful. They've recently struck gold with casting Billy Miller as Billy Abbott and Elizabeth Hendrickson as Chloe aka Kate, so what the hell is keeping them from getting a more suitable recast of Colleen and one that can at least hide her damn accent.

I've thought the same exact thing. For God's sake what's stopping them? Vikki needs her fire back, yesterday!!

Nelson: you were spot on with this special Y&R edition!! Good read!
