Members rlj Posted July 12, 2015 Members Share Posted July 12, 2015 Its the fashion industry and when there r already popular TG models out there, I dent see FC people having an issue with it professionally, she was only rehired cuz of negative press, Ridge, Steffy, Liam don't like Maya, even tho they may respect what she has gone through. I think Brooke still has issues with Maya personally Maya is def still flawed IMO, the only peeps pimping her are Rick and Nicole, and those r a given! Bell , that I recall, never billed the TG story as a PSA or a realistic view on the subject, he said it was a love story first and foremost, and its BB what do you expect LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 12, 2015 Steffy doesnt know Maya. I dont recall her expressing much of an opinion about her. I dont think Liam has an issue with her either. Throughout this whole takeover, his main focus was on Rick. Ridge is the only one at the top that dislikes her Bell didnt bill this as a PSA but thats exactly what it has been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted July 12, 2015 Members Share Posted July 12, 2015 In the past both Steffy & Liam have expressed disliked Maya in conjunction with Rick, tho not on the same level as Ridge or $$Bill (who I agree, we need to see more of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 12, 2015 Members Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah Nick the douche is a walking PSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted July 12, 2015 Members Share Posted July 12, 2015 Exactly. That kind of acceptance just does not exist - especially when several relationships were contentious.The TG issue is big and, sorry, the number of people who 'get it' is ridiculously small. (I mean, seriously, doofus Charlie finding Maya's pills and immediately calling the TG issue?) However, I can ignore all that if B&B continues it's commitment to diversifying the cast both ethnically and sexually, because t it has been laughable that a show set in LA and the fashion industry is more whitebread than one set in Genoa City, Wisconsin. I'm extremely hopeful with the great find of RE and the casting of their parents (even if short-term or recurring). Jury is still out on Zende. Just please give LSV a hot romance - though, again, B&B did air a couple of his scripts, which was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted July 12, 2015 Members Share Posted July 12, 2015 Homosexuality and IR marriages are not accepted in tsmall owns/families as they are on soaps these days, but its a sop, so in the fashion industry, yeah I can believe it. I did have an issue with how fast Rick accepted it, but I moved on For a soap, the Caroline/Maya scenes were believable, specially given their hypocritical history, more believable the a month of Ivy/Quinn scenes LOL Nick is annoying This story has been going on for a little over 3 months, which I give props to Bell for sticking with it this long LOL, wont be surprised if by the end of the year Maya gets cancer and dies LMAO!

Members sheilaforever Posted July 12, 2015 Members Share Posted July 12, 2015 The ending on Wednesday was just SOOOO good. Maya telling Nicole that bad thoughts often lead to crazy decisions - CUT: Alexandria standing in her room going all psycho again as she is stricken by grief and thoughts of Darla's accident (Again, I happily pass on the fact that ALy was NOT present at the site and therefore doesn't know exactly what happened). THis show usually has a tough playing dual storylines let alone properly link two of them, so this was a great treat, IMO. And Ashlyn Pearce is playing this for the home run. Ever since she came back, she has one cliffhanger after another. Every single day. For an actress her age, she is doing amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted July 12, 2015 Members Share Posted July 12, 2015 This is typical on this show. Caroline was barely there, but once the Maya/Rick story kicked in a year and a half ago, Linsey started to shine. Now, it's Ashlyn's turn. After months of nothing, she pops up and nails it!

Members ajsp35801 Posted July 13, 2015 Members Share Posted July 13, 2015 You're going to get exactly what you ask for. I thought that was the reason that they brought on her parents. The Forresters and Spencers can't be painted as bigots or unaccepting but the people who gave her life more than likely will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted July 13, 2015 Members Share Posted July 13, 2015 To be fair LG was limited/out because of her pregnancy. Ultimately it worked out better. To think that Quinn's selfie > Dubai wedding crash > Ridge's dunk was the genesis of what the show is now. Never would've believed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 13, 2015 Members Share Posted July 13, 2015 Shocked that they devoted so much of today's show to Maya and her parents as well as Nicole and Zende. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 13, 2015 The scenes today with Maya and her father were REALLY good. The best since this story started. It actually came across realistic and not the PSA nonsense they've been doing. Im glad he isnt using her as it seemed like he was faking on Friday. Good material and good acting. I liked as it almost had me tearing up This show hasnt been this focused on black characters since Marcus one month texting and driving story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted July 13, 2015 Members Share Posted July 13, 2015 She was on the backburner before she went on ML, besides their wedding, once Raya broke up the 1st time, Maya/Rick/Caro were shelved 2 eps in a row, good show today, but yeah the Pops is def up to something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted July 13, 2015 Administrator Share Posted July 13, 2015 Great scenes with Maya and her father. Obba and KM were fantastic. However, Anna Maria Horsford was underwhelming. She just stood there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
