Members ChitHappens Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 Here's to hoping the recast is actually black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 It will be a dark-skinned Italian girl with curly hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 I've said it before, but I don't think JFP is really against black players per se. She's just generally absentee or neglectful of them unless a writing team she respects is behind them. This was the case at GL, I think, before she drove that team out. And I think she is shrewd enough to know a black canvas was Y&R's bread and butter. The question is whether she is making an active choice to replenish it. She could be too far gone after years of monotony at GH to even have those few beneficial instincts she used to have, or she may actually be making a brilliant play. If you're going to go after the queen again - and we all know who that is - recasting Lily is a major move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 Maybe "A Little Nellie Olson" is the term your'e reaching for.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 CK is out? Quick: someone make an Oprah Winfrey/"Color Purple" "I know t'ere is a Gawd!" gif! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 The show to which you are referring would have to be My Brother and Me. Loved that show! I remember a very young CK on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thank goodness it's Khalil. I've never understood her appeal to the vocal but few? viewers at all. So bland and boring. Her and Cane are entirely fast-forward material. Julia Pace Mitchell does NOT look twentysomething and cannot act out subtext if her life depended on it. That whole baby daddy storyline with Neil and notMalcolm was a joke because the truth was written all over her face in every single scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 I feel like going all Boondocks and pulling a Jasmine screaming, PRAISE SANTA! Christmas is indeed coming early -- if they get rid of Cane, Amelia as Victoria and phase Giggly to the background... my mom & I just might tune in again.

Members SFK Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 My friend played the sister's best friend on that show! I don't think that's where I remember CK from, I think it was Raven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted August 22, 2012 Webmaster Share Posted August 22, 2012 Raven was where I remember Christel from as well. When I first read this discussion I totally remember the scene, what she was wearing, how her hair looked and what she did when saying her lines! It was Raven! lmao.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm glad you all remember it, too! I think it was the same episode where Raven dunked "Stinky Sturky" (who just disappeared after the first season), into the Dunk Tank with a box of soap? Hahaha. Classic Raven.

Members marceline Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm stumped at who I would like to see try for this role. My fave younger AA soap actresses (Shannon Kane, Daphnee Duplaix, Tika Sumpter) are not only all older than this calls for but they have other options and have no reason to return to soaps. I honestly can't think of a suitable actress in that age range especially one that can play against VR if she comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
