It's a nice thought to have though. :lol:

I don't know that having Black writer would make any sort of difference if there's mandates from the networks about how minority characters should or shouldn't act. That said, MAB should needs better Co-HW's, if she wants to stay on. Diversity isn't exactly Sheffer or Hamner's biggest strength. As I believe Sylph suggested, she should steal Michele Val Jean away from GH.

:lol:

Amelia is more of a cancer than a parasite. :lol:

Wow, could you imagine how HOT Y&R would be if they had Victoria Rowell *AND* Brenda Dickson back? They'd have like 50 million viewers on a daily basis! :rolleyes: These two are what made the show #1!

I also hear Rowell's working on a cure for cancer while Dickson's almost got the formula ready to cure AIDS.

Honestly, I do believe that almost half of Y&R's audience is African American, and a large part of how that came to be is the Winters and how Bell wrote them (particularly the HIV story). I also think that Malcolm and Drucilla are the most popular AA characters in daytime history (and yes I do believe even more popular than Jesse and Angie whom I like).

i do not believe for a new york minute that half the y&r audience is black. that is just made up information by an angry, bitter person who can't get over herself.

no matter how long victoria rowell is off y&r, she continues to trash the show, constantly and consistently bringing everything back to race. yeah, ego runs rampant in entertainment, but VR trumps them all.

the woman must have been like a cancer on the set. no matter how good she is, she's not worth it.

i just don't get the "you go, girl" and "we need more actors like VR" comments. she doesn't enlighten; all she does is accuse and indict.

You're talking about couples, I'm not.

I'm talking about individual characters. Victor & Nikki are one of the most popular couples, but Victor himself is more popular than Nikki (that's why they plaster EB's face on the cover of every freaking magazine ad nauseum).

I think Drucilla and Malcolm as individual characters trump the rest individually any day of the week.

I was talking about individual characters too.

Drucilla, Neil & Malcolm are all very popular in their own rights but Jesse & Angie are still the most popular IMO.

It's like comparing Erica Kane & Laura Spencer.

    • I think all the suits are fit too tight, except for Jon Lindstrom's. DC lawyers/doctors are not all LA fashion elites. Yes, maybe Tomas would have a more modern cut to his suit, but an established guy like Bill wouldn't go around looking like that lonely button on his jacket was ready to explode constantly.
    • I do think there's room for optimism, especially with Amazon making enough new episodes to last until December. There's still time for the various players to get their ducks in a row. Guess we'll know soon enough! 
    • I do agree it's better to just have people pop back into town. I never understood why Roger needed a mask on an island, when neither Fletcher or Alex would've known who he was. And the vine...sigh. Couldn't he have just been sent crashing through a window or something?
    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.
    • RIP Wayne Lewis.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.
