Haywood Nelson Reveals A Secret About Himself From His Days On 'What's Happening!!' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ESSENCE.COM: So as the heartthrob were you ever involved in any work romances?

NELSON: (Laughs.) No, not me, but I had a big crush on Dee. If it weren't for our age difference it would be very dangerous and tempting waters. Dee was sharp and was a smart young girl. She could tell adults off and get away with it. I also had a crush on Shirley. I love her wit. I love people who are fearless, and I'm a spiritual guy so I connect with people spiritually. Now, Debbie Morgan, who appeared on the show, and I used to date. It was my fault; I blew it. It didn't work out because I was too young, with a Porsche and was interested in driving around and taking road trips with my boys when she wanted time. if I had my head on right I would have married her.

I can understand him going out with Debbi Morgan but having a crush on Dee and Shirley

! I think he's serious about Dee but he has to just be playing about Shirley.

I like Debbi Morgan a lot. She's on The Young & The Restless now.

WHAT'S FUNNY ABOUT THIS IS THAT IN THE FIRST EPISODE, DWAYNE HAD A CRUSH ON DIANE; PLAYED BY DEBBI MORGAN! AND, IN LATER EPISODES THEY NEVER PLAYED ON IT! I ASSUME DWAYNE GOT OVER HER??

Debbi Morgan once said in a magazine interview that her character on What's Happening ended up "not being able to stand Dwayne, Roger and Rerun". I knew "Diane" definitely didn't like Rerun but she seemed to be cool with Roger and Dwayne! Maybe she just can't stand Heywood in real life

IT'S VERY ERRONEOUS THAT SHE SAID HER CHARACTER GREW UNABLE TO TOLERATE DWAYNE! IF THAT WAS TRUE, THEN HOW COME SHE'D SEEM AS HAPPY AS DAY AND CAREFREE AROUND DWAYNE??

MR. HAYWOOD NELSON STILL LOOKS FINE! I GUESS I'M STILL FASCINATED BY HIS STUNNING APPEARANCE ON WHAT'S HAPPENING!! HE WAS SUCH A HUNK BY THE THIRD SEASON!

MRS. SPENCER IS STILL ADORABLE TO ME! SHE GOT VERY BEAUTIFUL!

ERNEST THOMAS HAS GOTTEN... WELL...OLDE!

I'M JUST GLAD THEY ARE STILL WITH US TODAY! THANK YA JIMMY!

It's a shame Haywood didn't wife Debbie Morgan, she and him would've been still married today.They make a nice fit.On The Forever Sylvers Website, it was mentioned that he had a secret crush on Pat Sylvers. Wonder if they ever dated, he had great taste, that's for sure.

Haywood is still fooling some of y'all I see. Currently in his 50s..never married...no kids. Talking about who he should have married in his late teens? One of which included a crush on Shirley?

He's gay folks, wake up. You'll just never hear it publicly. And its OK. But take it from a gay man, when you start talking about all these missed opportunities to "marry" and when you talk about "crushes" you had, that's not real. Its a diversion tactic.
