Precisely.

Ironically, I actually think Jamia Simone Nash was a decent actress for her age. If she had been playing a well-written character who didn't feel the need to break into song every 5 minutes, she could have been a viable member of the next generation.

These idiots are leaving way too much open for the viewers to interpret what they want into these storylines. They started with thinking that the horrendous Eva/Tyra could ever replace VR/Dru! We viewers are more educated today than ever before and they wonder why their ratings are in a free fall. It says ALOT that GH's Guza won the top award for writing; that in itself should be an eye opener even though I think that GH is far better than Y&R these days.

But you don't know when to let that sleeping dog lie! You just keep bringing up the same ole sh!t and it seems you are just itching to pick a fight with someone every effing time you post whether or not someone agrees with you and heaven forbid we disagree with your thoughts.

You like to throw around the word crack ho. Do you know any? I know plenty of them. & I'm sure their children don't want to do relatives or relatives they thought was related. Maybe you should talk to some crack hos children & see where their heads are at. I don't think his mother being a crackhead have anything to do with him wanting to sleep with somebody he thought was a relative. Maybe he got that from the foster system.

So you don't know how crack head children will act. So you just pulling stuff out your ass. Or you just prejudging things. If you don't know what the hell you talking about. Why say on such a thing? I hate to say stuff comes off as racist. But uninform people can come off as racist & silly too.

Well, one can ususally deduce that children of crackheads will have some kind of issues. If Devon's mother had been white, and addicted to Meth.... I'd have said the exact same thing. My point is that this show has a long history of childhood trauma affecting the adult characters and coloring their actions. Jill's father abandoned the family when she was 12... she spent her whole life marrying older men, in search of her lost father figure. Kevin and Terrible Tom, need I say more? Devon certainly didn't have the loving upbrining Lily had, did he? I suppose your'e going to tell me that crackheads make perfectly good parents? If you want to believe that, go right ahead.

Oh, this is quite offensive!

I didn't grow up with a crackhead for a parent(and thank God for that), but many people do survive and go on to lead productive lives, without letting the baggage of their parents mistakes affect them as adults. You know, for someone who champions for progressive stories in the form of gay romance, you sure as hell have a very limited world view.

And BTW, crack is not just a "black person's drug." Just like meth isn't a "white person's drug." Just ask thespian researcher, Tatum O'Neal.

By your line of thinking, I guess poppers are only a "gay person's drug."

Since you don't know & don't want to know about crack addicted children because it's a black thing. Why are you making racist remarks on something you don't know & not willing to find out about. I tell you uninform remarkd comes off as racist & stupid.

Maybe the writers don't know how to do straight lace gay romance. Maybe they'll do flaming gay romance with all the hip switching. Maybe they waiting for the Gay pride parade & so they a pick something from that. Maybe Philip 3rd or Rafe will meet their love at the parade.

He has a problem when people complain about the lack of storylines for the black characters. He does the same thing over at SOC. Saying black people been represented now it time for the gay storyline. What black people problems have to do what they do for the gay storylines they not writing. Black people should just sit in the corner & except any storyline while they writer for the gays now.

Like I said I don't want to make everything racist but it sounds he have something against black people.

    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
    • That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.
