Members soapfan770 Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 I assume this was written after Amy Lewis left Y&R. Amy was the secretary/singer involved with Jackson brothers before getting involved with Nathan and had a memorable storyline where she taught him to read. While GL and Y&R had amazing turnarounds in the 90s, AW went in the opposite direction. As for B&B aside from a few Hispanic characters and Lt. Baker, the cast has always been disgustingly white...

Members BoldBeauty Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 Well, I view it like this. B&B is THE most family-oriented soap opera on daytime. And the only half-hour show which of course mean a smaller cast. So they can´t have more than 20 characters and pretty much all are members of the top families of Forrester, Logan, Spectra, Marone and now Jones. And since they love to keep it in the family... They hire each other at the companies as models and all kinds of roles. They have tried bringing in minorities into these families. Zende is a Forrester by adoption. Donna Logan has a black son with Justin; Marcus - who was seen with his black girlfriend last week. There is also Tony Dominguez who is married to Kristen Forrester, latino hottie. Tony´s ex Sofia (Sandra Vidal). Felicia Forrester has a son with Italian hottie Dante Damiano. The main police officer is Det. Baker and his son Charlie, both are black. Then we had brothers Hector & Christian Ramirez. Back in the day Stephanie had her BFF Ruthanne Owens and her newphews Keith & Kevin - all 3 black. We had the Cortez family with Claudia, her brother and mother. Claudia´s ex (can´t remember his name) was also hispanic. And Forrester employees Michael Lai (Lindsey Price) and Jasmin (Lark Voorhies) and Jessica Forrester´s ex Sly Donovan. So while there seems to be very few minorities on B&B, they´ve had a few at least so I would not give them an F. C- is my grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 B&B should introduce Justin's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 What the heck do they do on the show? They might as well be potted plants bc they are non-entities on the show which pop up once or twice a month to remind us that BB has tokens. B&B completely dropped the ball and I dont see what the point of introducing Justin was bc he was never utilized in a story. He merely exists to give Bill someone to talk to. Marcus has even less of a role and serves no purpose. BB might as well stand for Buh-bye Blacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 My how some things haven't changed (re: B&B getting an F).... that show's whiter than a sheet. And I agree for the record that most of daytime today would get an F.... In early 2008 it appeared AMC was well on its way to an A (and for a short stint it was), but since the Hubbards got married..... they've been B players at best.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 2008 had alot of black people on AMC. I also loved how they attempted to revive the Fryes before that. They had a big story and was used quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
