Ever since Hollywood legend Aaron Spelling passed his family has fallen into disarray. The now famous Spelling family feud has gotten worse since he died, and Candy Spelling talks about the dirty details of her complicated relationship with Beverly Hills 90210 daughter Tori Spelling on ABC's 20/20 with Elizabeth Vargas.

Among the revelations Candy Spelling is expected to spill is the shocking statement that she has yet to see her 9-month old grand-daughter Stella. Is this an airing of grievances or a promotional stunt for her new book Stories from Candy-land?

Tori Spelling has yet to tell her side so there is lots of time for Spelling saga junkies to weigh in; perhaps mother and daughter will have a tearful reunion at a high profile book signing? Stranger things have happened in Candyland!

A preview story on ABC.com reveals that, supposedly, Candy has yet to meet her 9-month-old granddaughter Stella. Yet, it was very well reported that when Tori's first child, son Liam, was born in March 2007, grandmother Candy, intent on reconciling, was present in the delivery room. What happened since then? I'm sure the answer is nothing. But you can be sure some tale will be spun describing it all tonight.

The pair have very publicly feuded over the years, watermarked by the report that when daddy and hubby, Hollywood power TV producer Aaron Spelling, died in June 2006, Tori was set to inherit just $800,000 of his estimated $500 million fortune. Candy, natch, was the executor of his estate, but her other child, son Randy, also reportedly only received $800,000.
