Members Jonathan Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 I feel sorry for this guy b/c he obviously is grateful to have landed this part but everyone is already calling for him to be recast. He doesn't look anything like Shemar Moore but Kassie DePaiva didn't look like Mia Korf but everyone seems to have embraced Kassie in the role of Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 That was on a show which actually had decent writers. Even then, it took time. Y&R has flopped with every recast they have attempted in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tanyia2 Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have seen Darius act and he sucks!!!!!! When people say this will be epic fail they are not kidding. Darius is limited in his acting abilities plus he is just the wrong person for the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 22, 2009 Members Share Posted December 22, 2009 When I told my mother that "Eddie Winslow" had been cast as Malcolm, she literally laughed so hard she had to hang up the phone and call me back an hour later. I kid you not. Say, maybe they can get Jo Marie Peyton ("Harriet Winslow") or Telma Hopkins ("Aunt Rachel") to play the Abbotts' old maid, Mamie Johnson? Yeah, but who's to say Mia Korf even that popular in the role? It seems to me, no one was really talking about Blair until she hooked up w/ Todd for the first time - and that KdP playing the role then, not MK.

Members Khan Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Oh, come on. I, for one, won't begrudge Darius McCrary for taking the part (just as I didn't begrudge Jamie Luner for accepting the role of Liza Colby on AMC), but you have to admit, "Eddie Winslow" is a bit of a letdown from Shemar Moore.

Members DRW50 Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I would put more blame on the writing than on him, but overall, yes. After a lot of hype at the start Billy is known more for pity parties and screwing up than for any actual storyline. The lack of emotional connection with love interests and family members doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Disaster written all over it, and the fact that he's younger than Daniel Goddard and looks it won't help... But then again, Y&R has been utter illogical crap for a while now, this writing and producing team have got to be fired soon, or at least some change has to be at this show... I can see them using this recast a lot during the first couple of months, and then he'll be thrown on the eternal backburner with the rest of the black people on this show.

Members Khan Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah, Dru was definitely on cough syrup that night. That's the ONLY way you could explain her w/ THAT Malcolm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members y&r_fan Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yes, because MAB is SUCH a racist. I can totally picture her sitting on her porch in a rocking chair with a shotgun accross her lap, "waitin' for coons". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
