Members Eric83 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 If Mia Korf had stayed on as Blair, half of the current viewers wouldn't know the hell Blair was. And you could forget about Starr and Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 There's so much bias in that statement, frankly, I don't know where to begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 But Rex isn't. He doesn't even interact with them outside of Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catsmeouch Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 But he's Natalie's brother, which means he's part of that family technically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 The Russells were "intergral" Eve the druggie whore who settled for TC The Always Angry Scary Black Man but secretly pined for her rich, drunk, misogynistic White Pimp Julian? Or Chad the mulatto street kid with a heart of gold in love the Tragic Lightskinned Upper Middle Class Overachieving Whitney but secretly loved by her dark skinned, "sassy" younger sister? Or Liz the dark skinned jezebel who repeatedly attempted murder & lustily craved dick usually from White Men who didn't want her despite being a rape victim? Or Aunt Irma the bigoted wheelchair bound Jesus loving homophobe? Or Valerie/Vincent? Reilly was as good at race as he was with sexuality. Which is not good.

Members Khan Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Except for the soap we're talking about @ the moment. That one was created around a Polish family, an Irish family, a Black/African-American family, and a WASP family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catsmeouch Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Your statements prove you just plain didn't get the show, which means it's not even worth my time to explain it to you. Then blame the people who got rid of the Halls for the current state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eric83 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 I give up. Point is, I think it's a double standard that you think blacks are being shoe-horned onto shows. Were Jessie/Angie shoe-horned onto AMC? Were Dru/Neil/Malcolm/Olivia shoe-horned onto Y&R? Were the Speakes Family shoe-horned onto GL? No. And all of what you're saying is a moot point considering none of Y&R's current CORE families were around when the show began, so they were shoe-horned onto that shwo.

Members Bright Eyes Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Are the Polish family you reference, the Siegels? If so, to add, they were Jewish as well. I wish Nora could have been a part of that family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 There are several that already do. The Gannons, The Halls & The Vegas. REACHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 No, Rex is a Laurence. Mitch is his father; Roxy is his mother. Natalie is a Buchanan and a Lord, b/c Clint and Viki are her parents. See how that works? Seriously, do you watch OLTL at all? Or just the parts where Farah Fath hurts America with her bad acting?

Members catsmeouch Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 No she doesn't. The Russells could very well have been a white family. JER wrote colour-blind stories and the Russell family would've worked either as a white family or a black family. And that is a good thing! They didn't get special minority treatment.
