Members DeeeDee Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 In a year they'll be on as much as Marcus, Dayzee & Justin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 Might be the case, but they already had MUCH better material than those characters ever got. Actually, the Avants are the first actor's of color to ever portray proper characters on this show. And they all are doing splendid jobs! Too bad that the actress playing Dayzee is no longer with B&B. She would ignite fire in those circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 Marcus & Dayzee were proper characters. They just weren't written for (and in Marcus case needed to be recast). B&B is also sticking to the usual minority quota. There's no reason that because the Avants have a story that Carter can't as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 Marcus was a worthless character that should have never existed. I would kill him off and use that as a springboard to bring Dayzee back. She should have been around for the transgender reveal. She could easily be paired up with Carter who she leans on following Marcus' death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 There's nothing wrong with the Marcus character (who is related to three core Y&R/B&B families) that a good recast wouldn't fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 I also disagree. He was pointless from the beginning, then suddenly propped as a "Forrester" - although he was DONNA Hogan's son and the acting of Texas Battle didn't help much either. The Dayzee girl tried to save him - but of course Brad Bell had zero interest in these characters, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 He served zero purpose and IA with what Sheilaforever wrote. Carter with as little as he's been given feels better defined. I didnt like how he was a retcon for Donna who we saw in her teen years. She had no black baby that she gave up. I also hated that they had Eric adopt his grown ass. Being played by the terrible Texas Battle was the least of his problems. The writing surrounding him was just terrible and it was embarassing to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 Basic and unimpressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 It's not an either/or situation. Carter as a character isn't anymore well defined than Marcus & wouldn't even be on the show if it wasn't for Marcus. The only difference between the two characters is that Carter is played by a marginally more talented actor in Lawrence Saint Victor & if shoddily written retconned sons (played by mediocre actors) are a problem for B&B audiences to accept then the entire Spencer family needs to be shown the door.

Members Soapsuds Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 Just like the show lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 when the show is only 30 minutes with limited time, it almost is. We'll just have to agree to disagree bc I dont think the character of Marcus is worth investing in. Thankfully they brought Zende on and there's Carter still there on the sidelines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 15, 2015 Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 Zende is a boring character IMO…the actor is not very good either…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 to be fair, he is stuck in a terrible story and for the most part everyone is boring. The actor isnt that great but the role is still relatively new and has potential. Unfortunately I see Bell screwing up like many others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted November 16, 2015 Members Share Posted November 16, 2015 If the actor isn't that great & the writing is terrible for the character why aren't fans suggesting Zende be killed off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
