Phillip and Rafe!

So now I'm curious. Is Phillip going to stay in Genoa City without his mother Nina? Because from what I read Tricia's Cast return is not permanent.

I think so. Nina will be there for his introduction, probably, until we're fully acquainted with him. Then, she'll leave town again, while P4 elects to stay behind (and, Lord willing, make sweet, sweet love to J.T.).

Maybe he can rise to the material....but I wasn't impressed with him ever on GL. He may be the blandest recast since Ryan Brown's stint as Billy.

Not horny. I just have the mind and mouth of a longshoreman; and sometimes, I don't feel like hiding it. ;)

Well, look what he had to work with (as everyone always reminds me whenever the subject turns to B&B, lol)? On GL, JD allegedly portrayed someone (Coop) whose own father essentially left him behind in England while he was still a toddler, but you'd never know it! None of the anger or resentment Coop should've felt toward his dad for not being there during his formative years ever came into context in any of his stories with him. For that matter, GL never bothered developing Coop into a well-rounded character; certainly not during his romances with Lizzie or with Ashlee; or during his dalliances with Blake or with Beth.

Say what you will about MAB (Lord knows, I can, lol!), but at least her team will bring more subtext to P4 than GL's writers did to Coop.

Granted. I think TIIC had such a hard on for anything Jon/Pelphrey/Jammy there for years that Coop was little more than an afterthought in the writing. He drew some bad co-stars. (UGH...*rollseyes*....the "sensitive" romance with Ashlee made me want to vomit)

But other than his last dying scenes with Buzz, the kid left me bored to tears. I'd be a little afraid he'd melt into the woodwork on Y&R.

EXCELLENT news. Driscoll was always an unsung talent on GL. Much better than the overwrought Pelphrey, and I wanted to see more of him on that Primetime Series (which was canceled prematurely IMO).

God, I love you.

Honestly, I have a hunch that they are using this partly to entice Tricia Cast to return, at the very least, more regularly. At the most, it could be they want to convince her to sign on the dotted line. Or somewhere in between.

I guess everything depends on the material. The sleazy Richie role on AMC was a showcase for Billy Miller, but Billy Abbott has gone in so many directions and is so shallow I lost interest in the character months ago. Daniel Goddard showed some potential when he was the early rogue Cain, but not since he became a goody-goody.

There's an opening in the show for a young male character who is earnest and kind, albeit with the edge a child of Nina and a Chancellor would have. Y&R seems to struggle now with writing for young men who aren't tormented or sleazy antihero types, so Phillip will be a test for them.

I could see her doing a Tracey E Bregman style recurring.

Colleen needs to finally get a man. I wouldnt mind it being him

If they're not planning on a JT/Colleen reunion, definitely.

Well, if we all clap loud enough....

Oh, wait, that's what we do to bring Tinkerbell back to life.

Hee. Tinkerbell. Which brings us right back to the gay thing, doesn't it? :P

ETA: Don't worry, Heyou. I'm just messin' with ya.

:P

More like, Bottom and Top, huh? ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: You always crack me up!!

Of course once again they have to see if the new guy can work as a prop for Christel Khalil. She gets all the men thrown at her first. Here comes the born again virgin, all virginal again with her new man, barf.

And why can't he be bisexual?

Why do they think every younger man on this show has to be put with her. damnit? I was just thinking when I was on here last they should have a bisexual but you just know that once he "gets his taste of Saint Lily, he won't go back". :rolleyes:

Because, some of us s**tted boulders when it looked like Neil and Victoria were hooking up. Suggest a character's door swings both ways, and you might as well pass out smelling salts to the housewives in Peoria (tm MarkH).

True, sad that's 2009 and people still have their sh!t fits about these "touchy" subjects.
