Members DeeeDee Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Can Llanview get an Asian Family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Does Blair count? Seriously, I do wonder if her father had a family somewhere. And Blair's got brothers/sisters she never knew about. It would be fun to have a Tia Carrere-type character show up and cause trouble for big sis Blair.

Members Ryan Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 That's how I feel Drew. I see nothing wrong with having another Latino family in town. There's plenty of WASP families in Llanview. Right now they have a plan for this family. I don't think Ron will go the route of the Santi family, and I doubt Valentini would let him do it...even if Ron wanted to. Let's not forget, Ron was there during the Santi fiasco..... I do think OLTL will eventually add more diversity to the canvas. It appears to be the "in" thing with the East Coast ABC soaps right now. I wouldn't mind seeing the return of Hank and Rachel to the canvas, maybe with significant others...but I'd rather them bring them back with an actual plan rather than bring them on and have them do nothing (i.e. Lainey on GH).

Members dragonflies Posted June 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Not saying there's not room for more than one Latino family, but why not build more on the ones they already have. Honestly I'd love to see an Asian family in Llanview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ryan, but why is there a plan for yet another Latino family where there is basically no African Americans or Asians on OLTL? Layla might as well be invisible under RC. Clearly RC has no interest in having African American actors/characters on OLTL's canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Amen. Hopefully the new family doesn't end up like The Santi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm afraid you're right. I would hope he intends to bring on more African-Americans (or other races) onto the show. Many viewers can identify with characters they see on TV. From your keyboard to Ron Carlivati's eyes. *that reminds me....I must pay my dues to the church. They haven't been passing around that collection plate lately.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Not to sound like a fangirl because I really wasn't, but... they need to bring back Evangeline. Under the guise of Renee Elise Goldsberry. I don't know how many AA women I overheard discussing OLTL when she was on the show, for better or for worse. Not only that but she has ties to major characters in Llanview. Todd. McNostril. Cristian Soulful-Artist. Blair hates her guts and Layla's got issues with her, too. And they need to build up RJ's role, stat. And Jamie's. That girl is a major legacy character. I wouldn't be surprised if she grew up despising Antonio and Jessica, for a start. See? Built in minority characters with layers and dimensions and popularity (certainly in some quarters. I am a big TJS fan myself). Suppose they brought Sherri Saum back in some capacity? Use what you got, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Oh no....I can see where this is going. Just to fill the quo, ABC will make it so that AMC is the black soap, OLTL is the Hispanic soap and GH, well.......GH has 2 guys with accents, and Leyla.

Members dragonflies Posted June 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ugh no thanks, I HATED Evangline. IMO she was just another version of Nora, and we have 1 Nora, and don't need another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 LOL, no way. You did not just count "Jerry Jacks" as part of GH's minority quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm glad I'm not alone, I'm sorry but RC seems to have no interest in Leyla, or any other African American characters what so ever. I really hope that they change the ethnicity of the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 I dont get it either. Ron is really caught up in making this show shadow the 80's. I guess AA's arent the priority. My hope is that he's written RJ to chicago to come back with family. Also there is no reason why RJ should only be used as a prop to glorify Nora and Lindsay's tired ass Viki and Dorian wanna be rivarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
