Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Rex doesn't give a fig about Natalie or Jessica, and the only reason Bo spends time with him is because most of his family is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catsmeouch Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 If, say, the Lords had been a black family from the start, this would be another story. But all the main families are white, all of their children are white, and the love interests are white. So adding minorities to the show really is like shoving them in there even though they don't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Even then, OLTL later did a good job of introducing viewers to new black characters through the Buchanans. Kevin/Rachel, Bo/Nora and Rachel, Bo/Hank. I guess that was the point last year with the Matthew/Destiny friendship and Rachel's return but it went nowhere.

Members catsmeouch Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Carl, you're not exactly a source for fair and balanced views on Rex, thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Ok, Rex's monthly interactions with Bo makes him Buchanan? And please, when the hell was Stacy around the Buchanans? She only interacted with Rex, Gigi, and Schuyler yet seemed to get so much airtime. I see no reason why we can't keep most of the core characters, and meanwhile develop minorities. It seems so one-sided that you feel white characters aren't being shoe-horned onto shows yet blacks and Latinos are. I'm not calling you a racist.

Members Eric83 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Shoving them in where they don't fit? Soaps seemed to make it work back in the day, so I'm not understanding this logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
