Sorry about that. After her tweets about Viola Davis' Emmys 2015 speech went viral, soap star Nancy Lee Grahn tweeted on Monday, Sept. 21, that she was "heartbroken" that people saw her as a racist.
Even after her emotional apology about her hate-tweets during Davis' Emmys speech, the General Hospital actress, 57, continued to receive backlash from critics into Monday evening.
30 yrs an advocate 4 human rights & now i'm a racist. Color me heartbroken. Twitter can bring out the best & sadly tonight the worst of us.

I've taking a whoopin 2night and as u can see will rightfully stay up all night to talk to you.
— Nancy Lee Grahn (@NancyLeeGrahn) September 21, 2015
Indeed, Grahn engaged in conversation with her admirers and critics alike on Monday night, including CBS News Sunday Morning contributor Nancy Giles, who explained the scenario in detail.
"@NancyLeeGrahn Seeing Viola, an Oscar nominee, with Emmy in hand could make it difficult to see her/the struggle but believe [it]... her chances 2 play wide variety of roles has been limited," Giles tweeted. "She's 1st black woman to win this award!Speaks volumes. Finally in 2015 more visibility & range of characters. Still only 1 woman of color won lead actress Oscar. Our stories [are] not told! Just starting to happen.Some similarities w women over 40. Art should reflect the rich diversity of cultures . That's my 2 cents. Twitter can be vicious but don't stop the conversation. Always enjoyed yr work esp on Santa Barbara."

Decades later, Jack Wagner still can't escape his breakout role.
The actor says the audience's obsession with his current show, When Calls the Heart, is similar to what he experienced while he was starring in the soap opera that gave him his start. "It does remind me a bit of General Hospital in the '80s," he said of WCTH when he recently stopped by the Melrose Place podcast Still the Place. "That was my big break. That fan base of that soap opera is still there."
Wagner explained that fans' attachment to his General Hospital role transcends that of all his other characters. "I still get called Frisco probably more than anything," he said, referring to his GH character, Frisco Jones. "When a fan base starts to fall in love with the characters, it's very real for them. It reminds me a little bit of the GH fans back in the '80s."

Wagner portrayed Frisco on and off from 1983 to 1995, and later returned to the show in 2013.
The actor said that he thinks When Calls the Heart has enjoyed popularity on the Hallmark Channel because its historical setting offers an escape from our contemporary climate. "I think this show resonates with people given our political temperature in the country for the last 10 years or more," he hypothesized. "I think people look for something that's safe. We don't show blood, we don't show sex, we don't show nudity, we don't use profanity, but yet we can shoot a gun."

Wagner also indicated that he was ready to say goodbye to Melrose Place, on which he also starred, by the time it wrapped its 7th season in 1999.
"I think we can all feel when something may be coming to an end on a series, and it felt like it there," he said of the 1990s Fox sudser. "So I felt really honored to have the last scene of the show to be Heather [Locklear] and I having bought this island and faked our death and doing our vows and walking off on the beach in the sunset. [It] was like, wow, what an honor to kind of carry the old guard into the last scene of the show, right?"

"I would love to see what happens with Bill and Georgie going forward, because it is left as a romantic cliffhanger — will-they, won't-they? Are they, aren't they?" she said. "I also think it's really great to portray the beginning of a romantic relationship with two people our age. Just because you're over 60 doesn't mean you're dead."
