Like Stacy? Cole? Gigi? Even longtime characters like Natalie and Lindsay took a while (with Lindsay, years) to gain acceptance with the general audience.

Stacy no.

Gigi & Cole yes.

Natalie & Lindsay might not have gained acceptance with the general audience for years but that never resulted in a divestment in the characters, airtime or recasts.

Not enough.

To you.

To me it's enough.

And even if Destiny were played by a "more talented" actress the end result would still be the same IMO.

You don't. But she has chemistry with EA and she is, IMO, a better actress. There may be divergence of opinion on her scope of talent, but I have yet to see anyone say she is not better than Shenell Edmonds.

Which is exactly why minorities have to create their own vehicles because fair & equal is not a luxury afforded to them.

To you.

To me it's enough.

So you're saying SE should continue and be paired with Matthew. As is.

If TPTB won't recast. Then yep.

:30 second mark. How anyone could give such a crap performance and not be recast is beyond me.

Offering up Jessica Morris clips to cite why Shenell Edmonds should stay doesn't....I don't get it.

So in the name of being fair we should just populate the soap endlessly with crap actors? I raise your Jessica Morris with any clipof Vasi on AMC--who they HAVE kept and given a lot of material to despite her race.

I don't get the minorities having to be the second coming of Terrence Howard/Sophie Okonedo to prove themselves stance...to each their own.

I call your Vasi & raise you a Brittany Allen.

But fans hated Jessica Morris despite some meager improvement. They prayed for her exit for years and I was finally rewarded with Jen's violent death, and yes I considered it a reward. We wanted Jen gone. Why should we get another bad actor just because OLTL saw fit to also subject us to Jen?

People want both Randi and Marissa out at AMC. Why can't we do both? What does any of that have to do with Destiny?

HAHA touche though she can at least deliver a line without seeming bored like Randi.

I think the non minority actors adn the minority actors should all be at least capable--full stop.

SOME fans hated Morris myself included.

But that didn't stop her from having a significant amount of fan support, airtime & romantic relationships.

Brittany Allen is in a similar position on AMC now.

Where is the outrage about the double standard afforded them & similar actresses?

THIS MEANS YOU MARNIE SCHULENBERG!

Until their white peers are I won't feel the same.

Why can't we do both?

Both COULD be done but you know as well I do that the reality is they WON'T.

But ES *is* currently the worse on OLTL. If she wasn't I'd be happy to say they should recast whoever was worse first. Likewise I think Vasi, now that Colby has been recast, is the worse on AMC--much more than Brittany who plays a uselesscharacter but is adequate as an actor IMHO.

The worst OLTL actor is CH with FF & JPL tied for second.

Jen never had a significant amount of fan support. It was bush league at best and only in her last year.

Brittany Allen is in a similar position on AMC now.

Where are these Marissa fans?

And it pains me to say it but even Crystal Hunt is better than SE. Doesn't mean I don't want Stacy dead. However, I'm not sure Shenell is the worst actress on the show. I can't think of anyone else offhand, though.

Edited December 31, 200915 yr by Vee

I've never seen any Marissa love.

And actually I do think SE is worse than JPL or others on the show--yep.
