Members dm. Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 I haven't seen this reported here yet, so here it goes. Nate Hastings is returning to Genoa City as of February 7, played by Walter Fauntleroy. His first airdates are Feb 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Several sites are reporting this, but I haven't found anything official except Soaps.com, so take this as you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 My logical side says he'll only be on the backburner but the other half is excited for this. His character should have been here by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 No black person on a Rauch show will ever get a storyline. I wonder if he will be used to phase out Devon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wishful thinking, but maybe they're introducing him on Y&R before Brad brings him over to B&B to triangle it up with Dayzee and Marcus. The likely scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Great news! Congrats to the actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Let's get real though. Does anyone *really* care about Devon? I mean, in a romantic storyline? A good-looking actor, yes, but boring as hell. Meanwhile, I'd love to see B&B's Marcus over in Genoa City... yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 He's only "boring" because he gets no airtime, is only allowed to prop Lily & fck family members. Everyone acts like bringing on NEW MINORITIES will make Maria/Hamner/Hogan/Rauch care about anyone who isn't a White Heterosexual Male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Maria's thinking - "Oh look, I'm reintroducing a black character during Black History Month! Everyone will praise me for this!" Of course, even during Black History Month, Y&R refuses to acknowledge that there's diversity in the world...

Members DRW50 Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 I agree. It's a self-defeating cycle, and this is exactly the way Rauch wants it. He's very good at this - he did it at GL for years and years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Maria's already got her NAACP Award speech written. Totally. But shhhh Carl it's always the ACTOR'S fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Kind of excited for this. On a side note, I'm surprised Sofia has made it this long. I really like her. I hope they recast Malcolm and do a triangle with Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 So you can see it once every two months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is there anyone on the canvas that Nate can even be paired with romantically, I mean? Exactly. They don't write for Devon so people say the character is boring. It is TPTB's disinterest in the character. I have watched Bryton on The Vampire Diaries. He has been excellent. He is far more talent than C. Khalil. Y&R is simply wasting the time they have with him. That is soaps for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 Considering the last few years, they will probably have Nate find out he's not actually Olivia's son, so he can hook up with Lily (or Olivia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 27, 2011 Members Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm shocked they're bringing Nate on and he actually appears a full week lol. I'm surprised they don't do the twice a month for a year so viewers get used to seeing a black person. I wonder what they have planned for him on the backburner.
