Way to go, Nick. As usual, you act like a jackass and the woman does exactly what you don't want her to do. Are you even Victor's son?

Julia Pace Mitchell is terrible. She just can't act, and there's no way she can turn a horrible story into anything. The entire Sophia/Neil thing is an embarrassment. And yeah, her wardrobe is bad -- always looks like she's exploding out of her clothes, and her wedding dress looked like a New Year's eve shrink-wrap.

Lame flashback wasn't needed.

The entire Sophia/Neil thing is an embarrassment.

As is much of Y&R these days (so let's hear it for racial equality).

For one thing, there's her relationship with Yucker, which, for me, is about as master-and-slave as it gets ("Don't nobody say nuthin' bad 'bout my Massa Tuckah! Massa Tuckah, he good to me!"). Also, I realize Y&R's wardrobe and makeup departments are not what they used to be, but whenever Sofia's on, she's always in something unflattering, and her makeup makes her look like one of those offensive Mammy cookie jars that I always want to smash whenever I see in the stores. I honestly cannot decide whether this show intentionally makes her look bad or if they just don't know how to dress her or make her look her best.

I think it got that way today too, did you see today's show ? OMG when I turned on the TV, for a second I thought faux Katherine gave Yolanda Ester's job. They had Yolanda follow Kay around looking like she like she was her hired help.

Lawd, yes. Between Harpo, er, Neil leaving her at the church (and making her feel oh-so-special later with those ridiculous, un-romantic "vows" of his) and Massa Tucker coming to her emotional rescue ("Don't be too mad at yo' babydaddy, Sofia, he a good nigga!"), I was ready to scream. Not even Papa Bell was that racist.

And that damn kerchief sure-as-hell didn't help!

Bring back Angell Crowell as Neil's love interest!!

The biggest problem I have with Pace Mitchell is she's simply too young to be believable.

Neil/Sofia is almost if not as offensive as the whole Neil/Tyra/Devon crapola.

Bring back Angell Crowell as Neil's love interest!!

Y&R put three Black women on contract?

Never gonna happen.

Y&R put successful and intelligent three Black women on contract?

Never gonna happen.

Fixed it for ya

Oh my god drunk Nikki bashing Sharinitwitheveryone was hysterical. MTS is rocking this.

Sadly those wedding scenes underscore how not needed Sophia is on the show, and how vibrant KSJ and Debbi are together. Honestly, if Pace went tomorrow and took Stephen Nichols, Daniel Goddard, Genie Francis with her, I really would struggle to recall their characters' names after a few days.

I agree with this, however i LOVE me some Pace! She is fantastic.

I think Pace Mitchell is just on the wrong show and is with the wrong cast members. Putting her with KSJ, who doesn't do all that well with the more laid-back actresses, was always a bad idea. I've said this before but she's much more suited for something like ATWT of the early 90's.

Someone compared her to a Bratz doll so literally every time I see or think about her, thats what comes to mind

Don't get me wrong, I like Pace and I like how she's approached her character when I'm sure she, as a curvaceous black woman, was hired by Y&R to do a straight-up imitation of Nell Carter in Gimme a Break -- or Epiphany on GH. She rocked her scenes covering for Cane and Paul Leyden's character when that mob mess started. Honestly, it's the taint of miscasting NuMalcolm that haunts Sophia and JPM, because if Shermar ever came back while she was on the show, we'd be thinking "when the hell did that happen?"

Incidentally, I don't believe for one damn SECOND that William J Bell had someone like Darius in mind for Malcolm like MAB pretends. By casting both Neil and Shermar back in the day as executive and fashion photographer, it was clearly inferred that they came from an upwardly-mobile middle-class home.
