Y&R-A New Love Intrest For Daniel

Remember the Michael Graziadei Atlanta fan screen test we told you about a while back? Well now comes word that Y&R found their winner, a one TaNeisha Bennet. However, when trying to contact her the local Atlanta media can't seem to find her. Apparently "efforts to reach the actress via her agent Deborah Owensby at Houghton Talent in Atlanta inexplicably proved fruitless. A search for Bennett’s bio and credits on the firm’s Web site, meanwhile, led us only to a broken link."

However, Young and Restless casting director Karen Rea did respond to the Atlanta media's request for comment by responding “First of all, she is adorable to look at and has a wonderful smile,” Rea told Buzz in an e-mail. “She is very natural and easy to watch. TaNeisha was playful and yet professional while auditioning with [“Y&R” actor] Michael Graziadei. And she has a giggle that brings a smile to your face.”

So when can we expect to see the MIA TaNeisha Bennet our screens? Word has it in early 2008.

Wow did not see this coming. I thought they may go with Daniel and Heather which I have gotten into but another IR for Daniel interesting indeed. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens with this.

Heh. I guess Josh Griffith was one of the few people who saw the sparks between Michael and Davetta and is trying to make up for it? I must say I am in total shock that a black actress is being hired and not as an extra! Wow! And with real soap opera actors? This is very promising.

It's just a shame the scabs couldn't have taken over when Tatyana Ali was on. She and Bryton had great chemistry and potential for a story.

Somebody said she short term. What they need to do is kiss Davetta butt bring her back as Lily & hire this girl as Lily friend from Boarding School. Have anybody seen on soap two sistas fighting for a white guy. On most soaps it's black & a white girls fight for a white guy. & most of the time the white girl win.

I didn't get the feeling she is definitely for Daniel from that article. Just because she auditioned with him doesn't mean she's his next love interest.

I would say...kind of. I haven't heard a word about porn in months, but he's coming off as a loser right now, imo.

I dont think he is a loser anymore. I acutally think he has grown up quite a bit. I think people say that because he still hangs around Amber and Kevin which I personally love. I love the 3 stooges because they bring comedy to the show because of their stupid plans which always gets them in trouble.

He hasnt thought about porn since he confessed to Micheal about his addiction. He is the only one IMO that can truely handle Heather and makes her think and not be so stiff. I am actually all for Daniel and Heather because she will make him grow up more and he makes her relax but dont get me wrong I would be intreague by this if they go this route as well. I always thought Micheal had that sexy chemistry with Davitta and to see that again with another AA woman would be interesting.

    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
