Members Chris B Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm shocked that they finally cast this character. I wonder if this is Malcolm's fiance or somebody new. Whatever the case it's hard to expect anything to come of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 September: Malcolm introduces her as his fiancee. Neil and Lily are intrigued by how much she reminds of Dru. February 2011: After months of making very few sporadic appearances it is suddenly the night before Malcolm's wedding to her. She ends up sleeping with Neil out of the blue. Malcolm is devastated, breaks things off, and then she proceeds in her grief to sleep with Devon. The Winters family is shattered and never appear again.

Members JackPeyton Posted June 30, 2010 Members Share Posted June 30, 2010 oh, so this woman really is on Y&R? She was trying to get interviews at the emmys but none of us knew who she was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted June 30, 2010 Members Share Posted June 30, 2010 lol yes she's really on Y&R! Her premiere is coming soon sos he's probably already filming. Of course they'd send the black girl to the Emmys and not tell anybody she's on the show. They should've paired her with an established star on the red carpet to help introduce her and her story to the press. Build some buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted June 30, 2010 Members Share Posted June 30, 2010 Just playing devil's advocate for a moment, but for those of you who cry "racism," do you honestly think bigotry against the black characters/actors is at work at Y&R? There are so many factors at play and politics involved that go into who gets story and who doesn't. Maybe the writers or their precious focus groups just find the actors who comprise the Winters family dull, and so they just refuse to write for them. The characters could be black, white, or green, but if they're deemed boring, they're not going to get played heavily. Also, there are so many people aside from writers and producers who decide on what story gets played and on which characters are heavily featured. There must be tremendous pressure on Sheffer, MAB, and Rauch from Sony and from the network about whom and what to feature, and those decisions could also very well be independent of bigotry. Y&R definitely seems like one big crapfest at the moment, but to claim that racism has limited the screentime of black actors, well, that seems to be stretching things a bit IMO. I'm sure someone will bring up Rauch's track record on blacks on his other shows, but the truth is that black characters were featured on OLTL and GL during his reigns. His track record in that area is really no better or worse than most others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 30, 2010 Members Share Posted June 30, 2010 One has to question what they find so interesting about Lily at the expense of the others in the Winters family. She's the only one that's constantly on, and probably by far the dullest of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 30, 2010 Members Share Posted June 30, 2010 And also if you're going to shove boring characters of one skin colour down people's throats, you might as well do the same for those with a different one. The show is just awful. Misogynous, aimless, hollow, terribly plotted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
