Elaine Welteroth Exits ‘The Talk’

Another host is departing The Talk.  Two weeks ago we saw Carrie Ann Inaba officially exit and now comes news that Elaine Welteroth is also out at the CBS series.

In a statement on her departure, Welteroth noted:,”It is an absolute honor for anyone, but especially a young Black woman, to occupy space on-air where our perspectives are largely underrepresented. It was gratifying to be able to show up as my authentic self in front of a live national audience every day in a world as divided as ours and to stay true to myself and what I stand for.  I came to The Talk to break out of my own echo chamber and to join a diverse cast in helping to bridge some of the divides in our world through conversation and empathy. I’m proud of how I represented myself and my community. But as I always say: when the music changes, so must your dance! I will miss my talented co-hosts and crew and I wish them the very best. Thanks to all those who tuned in every day.”

The Talk EP’s, Heather Gray and Kristin Matthews, offered up in a joint statement on Welteroth’s exit: “We wish Elaine all the best. We are grateful for her passion, enthusiasm, and insight she brought to the show daily. Her openness and meaningful conversations were attributes we admired and always appreciated.”

Welteroth is a New York Times best-selling author having previously worked as editor-in-chief at Teen Vogue, along with her work at Ebony and Glamour.   Elaine is now promoting her other show, Project Runway, where she recently shared on her socials: “Best (season) yet, coming in hot October 14th.”

The Talk returns for its new season on September 13th.  Just what the ultimate line-up of co-hosts will look like down the road could be anybody’s guess at this point.

So, what do you think of the exit of Elaine Welteroth? Will you miss seeing her on The Talk? Comment below.

This show is in crash and burn mode. No surprise.

I liked Elaine, as well as Amanda, so I’m sorry to see her go. I absolutely will NOT be watching next season. Sheryl and Jerry are awful! I feel sorry for Amanda!
Time to pull the plug on the unholy mess!

Something is diffently wrong! Time to put The Talk to bed.

Who the hell is she

I’m curious to know why CBS would stick with this show after so many hosts have left. Something’s definitely amiss when hosts are so willing to walk away. Elaine, like Carrie, was professional, authentic, and well spoken. I stopped watching earlier this year as Elaine was the only left who interested me, but one host out of four was not enough to keep my interest.

CBS cancel The Talk and put a soap back on. I woud love to see a reboot of Capitol from the 80s–great time for a soap based in DC.

I agree that the talk has run it’s course. However, I do like Akbar and Jerry together in a different forum.

“Young”? I wouldn’t use that word to describe Elaine. 😀

I also used to enjoy this show and the way the previous co-hosts would comfortably chat… I believe now it’s become a time and place where everyone is walking on egg shells and can’t say how they feel about a subject without getting ripped!!

CBS is not getting the message. CANCEL The Talk and bring back some soaps!

Mishael Morgan Stars in Hallmark’s ‘Christmas with a Kiss’

The Young and the Restless fan favorite, Mishael Morgan (Amanda Sinclair) is back with yet another holiday film, in which she stars. This Sunday, December 3rd, look for Morgan in Hallmark Channel’s, Christmas With a Kiss (8pm ET/7pm PT).

In the romantic holiday film, Morgan stars a Mona, a New York City social media ambassador who has been rather unlucky in love as of late. Before Christmas, Mona takes a trip to Manhattan and returns to her family’s farm upstate to help her parents prepare for the annual Christmas carnival, founded by her great-grandfather.

According to Sinclair family lore (interesting the last name is “Sinclair” … right, Y&R fans?). one will find everlasting love if they kiss their date under the mistletoe during the carnival’s closing-night dance.

Like clockwork, Mona runs into her ex, Fletcher (Ronnie Rowe Jr.), and old sparks reignite. But wait! Mona has another suitor in Dez (Jamie Callica), a reporter doing a story on the Sinclair family.  Who will Mona ultimately kiss under the mistletoe?

Mishael who resides in both Toronto and Los Angeles, was able to be part of this latest holiday movie near her Canadian backyard as it was shot in Milton, Ontario back in October.

In a recent Instagram post, Morgan shared: “What a fun shoot this was. In the name of Christmas, Don’t miss this one 😆🎄” The actress also just starred in BET’s: Sworn Justice: Taken Before Christmas. One thing is certain, since departing Y&R, Mishael has been in-demand.

Check out a sneak peek of Christmas with a Kiss below. Then let us know, if you hope an Amanda Sinclair visit to Genoa City might be in store next year in 2024, via the comment section.

B&B’s Katherine Kelly Lang Weighs-In On Hope’s New Attitude: “Brooke is Starting to be Like, ‘Uh-oh! She’s Taking After Me!’ ”

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) has been not pleased with her daughter Hope’s (Annika Noelle) choice in bedfellows! After all, Brooke and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) have a long history of disdain for each other (although there was that time they took psychedelic berries together and pranced around with not much clothes on).

Hope had divorced Liam (Scott Clifton) and has been getting much closer to Thomas, feeling he is the only man who ‘gets her’ and ‘sees her’ for who she really is.  On recent episodes of B&B, Hope has no problem giving into her desires for Thomas, now that she is no longer Hope Spencer.

Soap Opera Digest spoke with series iconic star, Katherine Kelly Lang to get her take on what she thinks of Hope’s attitude adjustment and recent behavior.

Lang expressed: “She seems to have changed a bit. She’s not the sweet little Hope that she once was and Brooke is starting to be like, ‘Uh-oh! She’s taking after me!’’

Brooke is not happy that Thomas has apparently won over Hope, when she is wary of the guy. Katherine added, “Thomas was stalking her (Hope) and he did all that crazy stuff with the baby. He just hasn’t been good for her, you know, especially when he was totally obsessed with her. So, Brooke doesn’t believe that that’s completely gone, that there’s still got to be some of that in Thomas somewhere and she’s worried about her daughter. So, of course, she would kind of say, ‘This is not good. This is just not a good situation. With all the men in the sea, why, why do you (pick Thomas)?”

However, many might see that as the pot calling the kettle black given how Brooke has often given into her desires with the men in her life and made some pretty bad choices herself!

So, is Hope turning into a ‘mini-Brooke’? Should Brooke continue to warn Hope of Thomas’ past, or should she just mind her own business at this point? Share your comments via the comment section.
