Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 At least he's immediately trying to diversify the cast more. Can't complain at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 I wonder whose parents or grandparents are they going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 I hope they're not tied to Neil or the Winters family - you can have more than one black family on a soap that aren't connected, you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 It would be nice to see a Senior Couple come on without any ties but when was the last time this has happened on a daytime soap? Hopefully they won't be homeless because Bell soaps love to make new Black characters either homeless or illiterate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sounds like a good fit. This would be a smart move. B&B has shown that "that black storyline" can be must-see-tv with actors of a certain age when they introduced Mr. and Mrs. Avant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 The casting sounds like Mr. and Mrs. Avant 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yes! I hate that mess. Why can't Black families be solid and upper-class on soaps? I think the Michaelsons could've been so much more, but they had to have the father in prison and the deceased mother be the wh*re of some whack job politician. I do hope this older couple leads to a new family coming on the canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 it's possible a new family could be coming, don't UK soaps do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 UK soaps introduce families the same way we do. Sometimes, they might bring a few characters of the family on to gauge how the audience likes them before bringing on the rest, or sometimes they just bring them all at once.

Members cassadine1991 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm surprised they haven't brought in the Santori family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 Could Neil Winters finally have a mom & dad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 21, 2016 Members Share Posted June 21, 2016 For sure, these are Mal Young hirings. I can't see Pratt writing for anyone who's over 40 (or Black). Moreover, I'm pleased that Y&R is being specific about these new characters' ethnicities. If this were DAYS, the casting breakdown would likely read: "must be African-American, Serb-Croatian or registered member of the Meskwaki (Fox) tribe." Because, they're all the same, you know?
