Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 It's funny, yet sad how much this show and its writers, producers, and casting director make it easy to poke fun at it and ridicule it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Cat, that's hilarious. As for giving DM a chance, of course I'll give him a chance, but will the show? They have very little interest in black people. They at times seem to have outright hostility towards black people. The casting just seems like pure laziness. As for Cady playing JY's mother, I don't think anyone noticed that because honestly, on some days, Grandma Walton may have looked too young to be JY's mother, and Dixie's return was so poorly written and so isolated, age was the last thing people probably focused on. This just further babies and ages down CK's Lily. Which may have been the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think people are being pretty harsh in this thread. Darius is FAR from ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TC Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Go back to the 70's. John Reilly (most recently Allistar Crane, born 1936) and Patricia Bruder (born 1940). Bruder played Ellen and Reilly played her son on ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 What an odd recast. This is like recasting Cary Grant with Ernest Borgnine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 I guess it could be worse Gary Coleman as Malcolm Winters......lol What you talkin about Lily!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 so seriously, was the only qualification needed was the guy be black? Shemar Moore has a very specific skill set that sets him apart from 99% of the male population, and if you are going to replace him I think you have to set your standards pretty high.

Members edgeofnik Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 OK. I'm completely speechless. I was out of town, so I don't have time to go through the comments, but this reminds me of ATWT's recasting the oh-so-beautiful Alison Taylor-Rice with Susan Batten. (It got so bad fans sent dog food to ATWT! I thought that was a bit much and cruel.) However, SM was schedule to play a short-term role on Y&R, but he caught on like wildfire -- for good reason. This is truly sad. I guess my boycott will continue. (BTW -- After seeing the still handsome and manly Peter Parros on ATWT recently, I have to wonder why THAT man isn't on TV.)

Members crc Posted November 19, 2009 Members Share Posted November 19, 2009 BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! This is too funny! Don't forget that Y&R's obsession with former Family Matters actors goes back before Bryton. Remember the late beauty Michelle Thomas who played Callie on Y&R and Myra Monkhouse on Family Matters?

Members MarkH Posted November 19, 2009 Members Share Posted November 19, 2009 They never recast like this without doing lots of reads and tests. Particularly chem-tests with possible romantic co-stars. Who do you think they chem-tested Malcolm with? Phyllis? (for history's sake). Mackenzie? (She's sort of free now, on the romantic side. Although I keep hoping they'll save her for JT). Chloe? ('cause this Chance thing isn't going anywhere). I'd ask about Roxanne, but she's not on contract. Given how much younger they have made Malcolm, this lends some credence (to me) to the spumor that Renee Elise Goldsberry is going to be the recast Dru.
