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

It was bellcurve. Can we not mention him? LOL.

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.

I totally agree with this. I think JPM does well with what they give. And what they give her isn't so great.

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.

Same here.

MTS/Nikki's reaction to Victoria's confirmation that she did NOT murder Diane was the epitome of comedy. I literally while that moment was happening.

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.

And I think she's suited for, well, nothing, really. She's a boring actress, trapped in a boring character, on a boring soap opera. (Of course, her wardrobe and makeup are NOT boring, but that isn't a compliment either.)

The only way I would accept someone like Shemar Moore's Malcolm falling for someone like JPM's Sofia is if Tyler Perry were suddenly writing and producing this show. And even then, I'd still have reservations!

Amen to that.

I don't mind Julia Pace Mitchell. She may not be Michelle Stafford in the acting steaks but she's not Yvonne Zima either. I found her to be a breath of fresh air when she first debuted but as Cat said, the horrendous casting of Malcolm hindered her. I don't see her lasting much longer.

I don't see her lasting much longer.

Y&R will fire her after the marriage with Neil ends.

I hope so!

Victor chills in the meeting room so much that he gets to read newspapers before his next visit?

At this point, he's on a first-name basis with the guard posted outside his door.

Based on recent writing,the Neil/Sofia marriage should be dead and buried in a few months.

Angelina, aka the Ghost of Y&R Yet to Come, is falling for Kevin and it scares me, if only b/c I know a hatchet job on Chloe is a-comin'.

I don't mind a hatchet job being done on chloe, I'm actually hoping for it...other's have had hatchett jobs done on them all in the name of Chloe Mitchell...
