Sly was sleeping with Lark Voorhies's character, Jasmine, while also being with Jessica, hoping to get to her trust fund. Jessica realized what he was doing and made him think she was pregnant, then told him the truth. He raped her. I think Jasmine started working with Jessica to try to bring him to justice. Sly held both of them prisoner at Bikini Bar and set Jasmine on fire. He was then killed in the blaze. Jasmine recovered but vanished or had a quick exit no one cared about.

She wasn't unpopular; the writing was a little one-note on her character but the Dylan Neal pairing was really good.

She was just let go when Brad Bell had one of his insta-moods and wanted to make the show latino with bringing on Garcia and Lili from GH... Hence, Lark Voorhier, Maitland Ward, Dylan Neal, Brent Jasmer were all let go. The show wanted to keep the lovely Lindsay Price but she decided to walk some months later due to a total lack of story.

I REALLY liked that 20-something cast back in the mid-90s.

And Maitland Ward, Lindsay Price, and Dylan Neal all went on to a fair amount of primetime work. Compared to the truly awful young people often shoved onto B&B in recent years, obviously Bradley Bell didn't have too much to do with their casting.

He should have stuck with the idea of integrating a Latino family into the show. BB is simulcast in Spanish, so I think it might have been an opportunity for them. But alas, here we are in 2010 in some strange version of LA where ethnic minorities and gays don't seem to exist, while the ratings drift ever lower. It kills me because B&B desperately needed a new family, then and now. I guess the Jones clan will be it and I do like them, but it's a lost opportunity for the diversity this show desperately needs.

    • A shame the Ben/Thomasina tease didn't go anywhere.  I didn't know until last year that they brought Thomasina back a few days before Quinn was murdered. I guess it's nice that they got those last moments of happiness but then you remember they never would have brought her back if they weren't going to kill Quinn off.
    • Very. It's VERY annoying, too. 
    • I just remember Kristina coming on to her slightly and val freaking out
    • Not trying to be a contrarian, but I don't think the show needs a rival family.  Rival families have been over-done on soaps since the 1980s. And it might make the show too predictable.  I'd prefer they beef-up the have-not group with perhaps a couple of workers from the Country Club and one or two Dupree servants, joining the existing group of have-nots.  They could all know one another without being a real "family."  That would give the audience more opportunity to see Fairmont Crest life from the "backstairs."  To me this would be a far more interesting perspective than another wealthy family to rival the Duprees.  
    • I wonder if that's why Valerie quit. I think some of the magazines at the time implied issues with Valerie and the producer, although I may be wrong. Painting Diana as going bad would have made more sense to me near the end of her run. 
    • Carter & Thomasina were also stuck with a baby almost immediately and didn't get much to do after they finished high school. Carter's father was killed off and Marley drifted out of their friend group because of Jake. They left town after Carter's father died (of tomb dust!) and before Quinn died (unreasonably murdered by the Sin Stalker for dating Zack Edwards).
    • She most definitely would. And I would enjoy watching it! Yes, I agree, that was a very touching moment in her interview. It helped me feel much more connected to her as a performer. I also got the feeling from her, Live with DD, that she wanted to go deeper in conversation.   
    • It really does feel like JG is getting off on torturing Shick fans.
    • That part I am not sure about, maybe Depboy might know?  The thing to remember about the show at that time was, it was so plot-driven and desperate that characters and their motivations changed virtually overnight.  There was a period of time where Diana Taylor suddenly became a bad guy and was in cahoots with Cameron Faulkner (toward the end of Valerie Starret's portrayal), which I HATED.
    • I'm going by clips so it's possible that the fan who did the editing made it look a different way than it was.
