I definitely won't miss him. You never see him to begin with, which is due to the writer's.

Oh please please please please please please let me hear "Eva Marcille out" next........ I fear it won't happen, but I want it so bad.

I'd like to see Eva replaced. I think Tyra could be a viable character under a stronger actress.

Amen!

While Graizadei, O'Brien, Frantz & Rikaart continue to suck.

I have to disagree with you there- those four have been great for me for a while now. I enjoy that foursome, with Kevin being the weak link.

Devon was never written properly- he's written as way too angelic. It would have been more interesting had he always tried to live up to Neil's standards but constantly fail. He's WAY too perfect as a foster child......and too trusting. Most foster children are very weary of other people and their motives. Not so with Devon.

In any event, count me among those who are hoping to see more Liv and a recast Nate. I'd also LOVE to see more of that detective. He's so smoldering and the actor is very talented IMO.

I like O'Brien & Graziadei is tolerable but the other two can go.

Frantz is another Latham pet that needs to be shown the door pronto! And the Kevin character has been exhausted to death along with the whole Fisher clan....

Time to move on.

Exactly.

Frantz needs to go back to B&B.

Rick/Amber is much better than Rick/Steffy.

Not Colleen .

Colleen has a story. She has the Jack/Victor/NE thing.

Absolutely.

Colleen has a story. She has the Jack/Victor/NE thing.

LOL! Where is this story being played? She's certainly not on more than 3 episodes a month and barely says three lines in every episode she's in. I understand you like the actress and character, but I don't see how this is considered a full-blown "story."

EXACTLY! Not "thug"...but carrying his past. They started down this promising road during the "Rec Center", but it was too soon forgotten.

Were you not watching during the month of February?

It's not a MAJOR story, but it's a story.

I liked Amber on this show from the start...but she has become far more appealing now in Kay's orbit.

Exactly.

Frantz needs to go back to B&B.

Rick/Amber is much better than Rick/Steffy.

That said, now that Rick is damaged, and it's not just Amber scamming Rick, but two damaged souls...could work.

I suspect this is more of a network issue than a Bell issue. After all, I can't think of any black characters well-rounded enough to be flawed or "gray" on any CBS soap. ABC at least had RJ. And Jamal on PC sometimes got to be a little bad-ass. But it seems CBS is SO afraid they'll piss off their African-American viewers, they won't even let them jaywalk.

OMG, can we stop talking about Colleen/Tammin Sursok in every effin Y&R thread? Geez.

Anyway, as sad as I am to lose an AA character, Bryton was one of the blandest actors I've ever seen and Devon was never fully developed anyway. Guess this means no more of Tatyanna Ali as Roxanne though

Malcolm and Dru had shades of gray to them though.

There's also who David Grant was initially on GL, but that came from a brilliant writer who had to fight for everything she got...

It would get Frantz off Y&R & Rick away from Steffy.

Plus it would give Kat Lang more to do.

It depends on the definition of grey.

Nathan, Liv, Drucilla, Neil, Malcolm & Mamie are all flawed and/or gray.

The problem is agenda driven writing.
