Y&R: Which characters have been created by Maria Arena Bell?

You know your not the only who sees Tyra more of a sister to Neil, I think that, and a lot of other reasons is why I find that story tough to swallow.

IMO, KSJ doesn't have much chemistry with most of the actresses he's worked with. I get the "sisterly" vibe from just about every woman he's in scene with.

I would believe Tyra as the spokes model for the Fresh Face of Jabot or Beauty of Nature, much more than Colleen, Lily or Sharon, who all have their jobs because of nepotism. The problem with her character is that other than being shoved down our throats as the "right woman" for Neil, she hasn't been given an identity. I'm starting to think that the Y&R writers are a bit racist in their segregation of everyone but Lily.

I'm not sure if the other characters are good or if it is the casting that is making the difference. They should keep Chloe, Billy, Noah, Abby and Murphy and dump Eden unless they can re-cast with a non-grating actress.
