From Soap News and Scoops

Yvonne Zima has joined "Y&R" as Daisy, Summer's new baby-sitter. The character is expected to be involved in a storyline with Summer's older brothers, Noah and (particularly) Daniel. Daisy may also have information Phyllis would like to keep secret. The 20-something actress is best known as Rachel Greene, daughter of Dr. Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) on the hit series "ER". Her first "Y&R" airdate is Oct. 30.

So it looks like Y&R is not suffering from budget cuts at alL! if they bring in more newbies.

Here is a recent pic of her. :)

Did she play Greene's daughter as a little girl? She wasn't very good. Perhaps she has improved.

So presumably she will become obsessed with Nick, Daniel, or Noah? Will they have her seduce Daniel to get at Nick or Phyllis?

They should just have her do the entire script of the Shannon Tweed camp classic, Scorned.

Do she suppose ot be younger then Daniel or older then Daniel because I don't remember Phylis having any babies after Daniel birth.

2nd it seems they don't waste time writing for new young white characters just the old white characters & the blacks get the short end of the stick on this show.

But as Mo pointed out, if she's younger than Daniel she can't be Phylis's daughter. I've always figured Phylis has another child out there somewhere. She/He has to be older than Daniel though.

ETA: Looking at her picture again, I do think they are going there.

Well, if she turns out to be someone's daughter it would not surprise me, because the term "retcon" has been used multiple times under this regime.

Plus, incest (in any form) doesn't bother these writers either, so no surprises there.

So basically what this regime is trying to teach us is that:

- Everyone has a doppelganger!

- Everyone has a long-lost sibling or child!

- The universe wants to kill off a character every few months... you know, just because.

- Everyone has a huge mood swing in the middle of the year which basically changes the attitude of the character. (Unless you're Christel Khalil or Amelia Heinle - they're just destined to always have the exact same comatose reaction to EVERYTHING.)

It's lazy and cheap in cost. You can write any personality you want for a newbie, and fans won't notice. You can also get them dirt cheap, while pushing vets out. And you can pretend you're somehow honoring the longtime characters by showing these instarelatives at them.

If this girl is related to Phyllis then she will nail Nick and/or Noah in no time, or drug and rape them. And we'll hear all about how she is a young Phyllis. In some attempt at irony, they may have her run down Abby.

    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.
    • GH:       A- DAYS:   A- BTG:     B- B&B:     F Y&R:     F
    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
