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.

    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
