But it’s the Mississippi family and friends whom Calysta left behind-and who keep her secrets-who emerge as the most compelling cast. It’s a dizzying mess that soap devotees will gladly devour. The subplots and entanglements of characters both on the fictional soap and among its preening cast-including a clever cameo by soap fan Isabella Rossellini-keep all the players on edge as they teeter between doom and salvation. But Calysta is also dodging the dirty laundry that a felonious producer threatens to air, cast mates who want to sabotage her career, and the fallout from a torrid affair. Gorgeous, talented African-American actress Calysta Jeffries returns to fictional soap The Rich and Ruthless after a stint in rehab to discover that she’ll be sharing the spotlight with her equally talented and beautiful 18-year-old daughter, Ivy. Dishing dirt on the shrinking landscape of daytime drama and its venal, back-stabbing, and drug-abusing stars, Rowell cheerfully gnaws the hand that once fed her in this soap opera within a soap opera.

You don’t have to be a fan of Rowell’s former star vehicle, the CBS sudser The Young and the Restless, to relish the actress-turned-writer’s giddy sequel to Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva.
