Members dragonflies Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 More Casting at DAYS DAYS has put out a casting call for Ryan, who is described as a "17 to 18-year-old Caucasian or African-American male. Ryan is the all-American high school idol. Gorgeous, well-built quarterback of the football team. Popular, confident and charismatic ... the world is at his feet for the taking." The role is contract and the character will start airing during May sweeps. http://soapoperadigest.com/news/breaking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wow, caucasian or african-american?!?!? U should already know what race he is going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ian Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 The idea that the character's race is presented as interchangeable means we won't expect any sort of decent cultural representation either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 I kinda wish this could be JT. It would give Bope a good storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 Enh. I'm onboard with it in theory. Shonda Rhimes casts a lot of her stuff "colorblind," and I don't think the diversity on Grey's Anatomy or Private Practice is anything to sneeze at. I dare Days to cast someone black and NOT have him be related to Abe or Lexie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wait. I thought Abe & Lexie were related to every african american in Salem? Maybe they'll make this kid Ben Reardon (Wendy & Jonah's son) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 Maybe its Maxine's son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 They aren't going to cast an African-American, who knows why they even put it in the casting call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted February 16, 2011 Members Share Posted February 16, 2011 Looks like they are setting up for the Summer teen S/L's, I don't have very high hopes but I'm looking forward to it anyways. I hope DAYS really starts to establish real teen stories this Summer, hopefully not all out Langan style though. LMAO. I would just like to see the younger characters featured more especially Will & Chad. I like Gabbi to, don't know about Abby yet. This new guy sounds like he'll be an obstacle for either Abby & Chad or Will & Gabbi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
