If Amanda isn't working, Tell me what or who is working right now on Josh Griffith's Y&R? I personally happen to like Amanda. She works for me. But again, I've taken the character alone without expectation of wanting her to be Hilary or like Hilary.

Precisely. Considering how big of a mess it was when she left, I'm surprised the show brought her back anyway. She was way too popular for CBS Daytimes liking. I'm assuming KSJs death and the possible loss of Black viewers that could come with that prompted Sony and CBS to move her way.

You're doing way too much guessing here on what happened. Mishael is obviously putting a nice spin on her departure attempting to absolve her employer since she was brought back. Secondly, it's common knowledge that she didn't want to leave. But she felt she had no choice. This wasnt her just deciding she didn't want to do Y&r anymore the way you've described. As for her not wanting to play Hilary...again, spin. She didn't want her character killed but she also wasn't about to badmouth the writers and the show. Chelsea had left several times and nobody thought to kill her off. If you can't see the raggedy treatment this populat actress received then I can't help you. Thank you! I'm trying to figure out where this amnesia from fans is coming from. We all knew the score when this happened in 2018. Mishael was approached by the show with this new character. She accepted. Probably because he never actually wanted to leave anyway. Now we've got fans resenting her presence because she's no longer Hilary.

Her choice to leave? That's relative I suppose. She left over a contract dispute like others have before her. But, the show didn't kill their very popular characters out of spite.

Mishael is spinning. We all know she left over a contract dispute. It had nothing to do with her wanting to move on from Hilary. Had Sony paid her, she'd be playing Hilary right now and happy to do so.

When did Mishael say she didn't want to come back as Hilary? I'm fairly certain who she is playing isn't her choice. Everything is a dud right now. The writing is not exciting cause nothing is happening. Even when something does occur, it's written in the least dramatic way. What I'm finding surprising is how fans have turned on Mishael because the show chose not to resurrect Hilary when bringing her back. It seems there's nothing Mishael can do acting wise to win fans over now. I truly feel bad for her.

I recall Neil and Dru's first date. He and Brad were roommates then. He came home and as he was preparing for bed, he looked in the mirror and said "that's one fine little lady.". Small things like that have stuck with me over almost 30 years. Ryan and Neil became friends working together at Newman. At least that's how I recall it. But early on, Brad and Neil were roommates.

@mikelyons I was hoping the tale would end with you landing the role of your dreams in soaps. But it's even better because you're happy and blessed without it.

Not shocked by Missy Reeves and her daughter. Racism and homophobia is not an opinion. I'm not sure when conservatism became the "let's hate equality and freedom for all" crew but it has.

I had not read this. I'll check it out. "I have never felt on the set of Days I was treated less than anyone else because I was black. I do feel the black characters on the show should be more on the forefront and equal to some of the white counterparts. It should be equal or close to it. I don’t keep track of how many episodes I have in relation to other actors. That’s not my job. My job is to take my lines, go to work, and do the best I can with it. I just hope that there is some change for the stories that are being told for the black counterparts on the show. What I can say with certainty is that I have always believed that we need more than three.” If Lamon knows that Black characters aren't equal to white counterparts then what does he contribute it to if it isn't race? Lack of talent? Lack of looks? Lack of fan interest? None of that applies to him and Sal Stowers! He had an opportunity here and he continued to toe the line.

I don't want voices, I want action.

This made me sadder. It's just disheartening to support and love something that doesnt love you back.

@KMan101 another perspective. There was a time when the LBGT couldn't get married legally and were shunned. Shouldn't folks who were apart of the crowd that shunned the community be allowed to grow and change. Would we ever call a person who becomes more tolerant a hypocrite for becoming so. Daytime soaps still has theurbstigma even as streaming and online shows become more acceptable.

Not so much hypocritical as adaptable. I can recall a time when big name movie actors looked down on headlining TV shows. Now we've got will smith headlining Netflix originals.

Count me as one who thinks it's more about legitimatacy. Online equates to low budget and less legitimate as stated above. However, these complaints were from years ago before technology made watching online shows almost indescernable from those that are on cable or network tv. Most cable boxes allows for watching YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc the same way we watch CBS and HBO. And for someone like me who typically watch almost everything on TV via On Demand, its even less discernable. I think that opinion for soaps going online has probably changed with the times. +1 Exactly this! The stigma no longer exist.

I'm sure that'll be just as amusing. But I wanted the nostalgia.

Anybody watch season 2? Ralph Angel is one more beautiful manchild. I can't stand his tantrums but love his acceptance of Blue. He talks all that big talk about the farm and then comes crawling back. And Charley just allows it without throwing it in his face. She's a far better woman than me. Micah's recounting of his arrest was haunting. The cops terrorize people like that every day. Evil. I'm loving Nova's arc this season. She's met a man with friends in high places. She's too scared of selling out that she's limiting herself. Purity is all well and good but she needs to be prepared to continue to not have resources she needs to make a a bigger impact. She's cutting off her nose go spite her face. That he's gorgeous, educated, driven, and totally enamored of her should seal the deal. That's a power couple in the making. Remy is sweet but I can feel Charley and Davis reuniting in the future.

I'm super excited by this. JustJack was one of my favorite characters ever!

Watch it slowly to savor it. Lol

The show won't be back until 2018 and I'm just sick about it.

This show is a masterpiece. I haven't loved a show like this since my beloved Spartacus was cancelled. So, "what door". "Doesn't look like anything to me." The twist of twists and my heart broke.

The same thing I loved about Greenleaf, I'm loving about Queen Sugar. It's visually beautiful, tightly scripted with rich dialogue, poignantly acted, and full of southern black culture. Bravo!

Is Ava the Writer/EP for this show? I love that she's giving women (especially those of color) opportunities behind the camera.

If Wendy isn't purposely trolling then she's too ignorant for words. I'd have more respect for her if she knew what she was doing.

Another good episode. Ashley is just all over the place. Confronting folks left and right and irrational to boot. I see her back in a padded cell before it is all over with. I wonder if she will be sniffing that stuff Tucker has for Mrs C. Victoria about to kill Chloe. Was it intentional. I can't tell. But either way it is going to be a problem. Hope she doesn't die. And Leslie...really...just tell the secret out like that. I knew it was coming as she was to ansty and stalkerish to keep it much longer.
