Full Houses Bure made Symon gasp after she defended an anti-gay bakery while a guest on the show last month.Thats the kind of stuff they love. The producers want her opposing Raven, because its great for ratings and keeps them in the news, says the source.Another insider denies the show wants to pit the two against each other. They are so different from Elizabeth and Rosie, and no one wants to recreate that dynamic. Rosie ODonnell was a singular talent.Were also told the network wants the show to go back to Barbara Walters original vision: Barbara envisioned five women from different generations talking about hot topics, and now itll have that again. http://pagesix.com/2015/08/10/gearing-up-for-a-more-vicious-view/
