GH tends to get too preachy with current issues. Im a strong supporter of gay rights. But I have a BIG problem with gender identity issues involving young children. It’s a slippery slope that makes me uncomfortable. For a show that’s very cast heavy and stories going in a million different directions, they just need to stick to good story telling and save the debates for the talk shows.

I couldn’t agree more… as has been posted before… is this subject matter a little bit too much for this oh so young actor to mind ?!?! I’ve posted that TPTB AND frank / shelly / Chris NEED to address this. this actor does not need the unnecessary attention… even if he’s just doing his job

Tyra Banks Exiting ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Yesterday, Tyra Banks dropped a bombshell when speaking with a reporter from TMZ, while out for a stroll.

Banks shared that she’s not going to be returning as host of Dancing with the Stars, and has decided to focus on the business and entrepreneurial side of her career, plus producing behind the scenes entertainment projects.

This morning on Friday, Banks confirmed the news to Deadline.

Tyra had joined DTWTS in season 29 when she replaced longtime host, Tom Bergeron. She also became an executive producer of the reality-ballroom dance competition.

Last season, DWTS streamed exclusively on Disney Plus, and was taken off the ABC network.  During the last season, Tyra co-hosted the show with Alfonso Ribeiro, although she still presided over the ballroom competition.

Thus far, there has been no news of the next season of the series, although it’s expected to return.  In addition to Banks, dancer Mark Ballas along with the previously announced departure of dancer Cheryl Burke, leave the show with some shoes to fill.

Check out Tyra’s chat with TMZ below.
