Is it true that Christel Khalil wasn't African-American? I thought I had read somewhere that she wasn't. If she was not, this wouldn't be the first time Y&R hired a non-Black actress to play a Black role. Remember the recast for Keisha years ago? She was the original Dinah Marler on Y&R.

Yeah and i hope my comment wasnt taken out of contex i wasnt trying to be racist. I just ment that i would like Lily to be strong and Assertive like her mother and not passive. She needs to be a hell raiser

I think she's half Arabic & Black just like Victoria Powell & Shemar are half white.

Rayen-Symone? You really think it's possible? LoL I couldn't see her as Lily.

That was a name bandied about early on. No way in hell would I want to see her playing Lily. But it would be interesting: Olivia and Little Richie together in Genoa City. They'll dance, lip-synch and do the moonwalk together as adults. LOL.

if it were to be raven this wouldnt be the first time victoria rowell played her mother. b/c on the cosby show she was paula the biological mother of olivia

I really don't think Raven-Symone is playing NuLily. That's So Raven is the Disney Channel's most watched program, and I can't see Y&R paying Raven more than the Disney Channel is. She's getting more $$ and publicity right where she is. Isn't Raven worth a small fortune?

If they are only bring back Lily to do more Lily/Daniel and have her whine and gripe just like she was before she left, than I say NO THANKS! Fix the problems already that exisit on the show (and there are alot of them) before bringing on more problems.
