Y&R is looking to cast an African-American actress in her thirties in the role of an associate to Vance. Her description according to SOD twitter: "A shark who is aggressive,out for blood"

Um, you spelled "beautiful, Caucasian woman between the ages of 25-35" wrong.

*stunned*

LMAO!

I wouldnt be surprised if this were a recast for Sophia. Watch them get someone thinner and lighter

I was hoping they was aging Lily. This person sound like she can be Dru real daughter.

Why is it that the only view they have of a black woman is that she is "sassy" or "out for blood"?

I don't have any problem with that. It beats some cookie cutter borefest character.

Is Sofia really more interesting than any cookie cutter characters? When a character is poorly planned out and written, a description doesn't matter. Just look at when they kept trying to tell us Eva Marcile's character was the new Dru.

*GASP* Another minority hiring on Y&R? Did hell freeze over again?

I myself like Sofia but you know the writing is so weak and their extremely lame attempt at trying to do a Neil/Sofia/Malcolm triangle is horrific and boring. She has the potential to be a firecracker but is restrained by coma-inducing story. Forget the dullard Winters bros and that sorry thing that is allegedly Dru's daughter the real stories are with Devon, Roxanne, Sofia, Olivia, and Nate Jr.

Especially when it doesn't make sense for someone like Neil to be drawn to a full-figured gal like Sofia.

The actress playing Sofia can't act which is the problem. At 25 she's also way too young for the role. THey needed someone like Vivica A Fox or Amelia Marshall for that role.

Damn. I had no idea the actress was 25. She looks much older. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a recast since YR can't have more than one AA girl on the show because we all know Lily ain't Black.

same here as theres no way in hell she's 25. That sounds like her Hollywood age. Girlfriend looks like she's at least in her 30s.

Looks like they are still trying to get the "black storyline" going.

I'm not so sure about that. Neil has lost a wife and is a recovering alcoholic. It makes sense to me that he wouldn't be the typical superficial assh*le. Now, if Jack was attracted to Sophia or if Billy started dating an overweight girl I'd be surprised.
