NEWS ROUNDUP: Chandler Massey's 16-Love, Y&R Cover Charge, Sh!t the Dowager Countess Says

Chandler Massey talks about his 16-Love character
"I like quite a bit about him. The thing I liked is he's a guy whose not afraid to stick his neck out there and go for it and fall flat on his face sometimes," Massey said.

Y&R: "Really should be listed with the sex stations and accompanied by a cover charge"
Terry Sprague laments the decline of quality programs on television: "Even THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, a program that really should be listed with the sex stations and accompanied by a cover charge, has deteriorated well beyond what I thought it was capable of doing. There is not one living soul in Genoa City who has not been in bed with everyone else in that city."

Y&R's Tonya Lee Williams believes daytime drama is dying
“Now I look at daytime drama as a piece of history,” Williams said during a recent telephone interview from her home in Los Angeles. “Popularity is cyclical and budgets (for network television) are shrinking. If you’re not a CSI or CRIMINAL MINDS with gory autopsies and psycho killers, you’re at the bottom of the ladder. Things are changing, shifting. Reality television rules. I’m not dissing reality television. It’s just the way things are now.”

Williams will receive the Martin Luther King Jr. Award at the Black Theatre Workshop Vision Gala, Jan. 28.
