Any relation to the Barbers in Genoa City? I always wanted Mamie to have had a son with John Abbott... fancy him showing up in LA. I imagine this will be Marcus' father.

Hmm ... I wonder how B&B will mess this up. Oh, they already did by putting him in this boring story. For some reason, I just can't buy Don Diamont as the powerful, yet charismatic, villain. He just can't pull it off.

For some reason, I am excited about this, despite knowing that Bell will probably screw this up as well. This might get me watching again, just for the heck of it.

I think Donna will recognize him, and then we'll see if she's given everyone the full story or not about what happened all those years ago!

Damn. He's cute. :)

Uh...yeah.

Ummm...skin color is all dependent on genetic makeups and climate/environment. Don't think me rude, but to suggest that skin color is like mixing paint together to get one new color tells me you really need to get out more.

Why the last name Barber? I just read this on SOD and knew it'd be posted here! I've heard gossip that B&B and Y&R are going to tangle more like they did in the successful 90's crossovers....and Dru might be coming back. This could be really good if they play their cards right.

Full disclosure, I'm biracial and I thought the exact same thing. :P I don't think it's so unnatural for that thought to have crossed your mind. But yes, genetics are a funny thing... thing is, that's a pretty convenient excuse for soap operas who haven't considered the politics of color in the black community since Carla Gray.

1.) Nobody thinks of genetics when casting black actors. They try to go for whoever is least black, or whoever comes at the cheapest price... just like with all newbies/new recasts, just like VR said. Most often they are mixed race because apparently network brass thinks that is safer. Not sure if that is true or not but I'm quoting Victoria on that one.

2.) It's not impossible with dominant genes, but yeah, you'd figure with a very light skinned father and a white mother he'd be on the whiter side, but, even two white people can unexpectedly have a black baby and it doesn't necessarily mean that the wife's been cheating... just that somewhere down the line in their lineage those genes exist and have chosen to emerge. It's possible, a bit strange, but as with all shows TPTB would appreciate it if we didn't ask questions or think for ourselves.

@ Bellcurve: Almost snorted coffee through my nose when I read your comment, because bitchy is always hilarious. However that said in y&r_fan's defence, I had taken a look at the picture yesterday then today just kinda went to the end to read replies and didn't think anything of it. However, I probably would have wondered the same thing, if my brain was activated and I hadn't been up all night last night. I probably just wouldnt have cared enough to ask, then thought meh, it's probably possible.

    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.  Your daily reminders about the realities of manicure and menstrual management has become a part of the personality of this thread. As for Hank, while I'm confident there's a plan in place.  It is frustrating that they announce these casting so far in advance that it is tough as an audience and wait it out until the thing happens.  I'm happy they didn't blow it the second Mike was in town, a week after meeting Liam. So, it is a slow burn.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
