Members DRW50 Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yani Gellman mostly seemed to be cast for someone's twink fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yes.. MINE! So THERE! I don't find anything wrong with him or his acting, realistically, there hasn't been enough to really judge his acting for the most part. If he's not hispanic, then what is he?

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 His Wikipedia says an Australian mother and Canadian father. I think there's some Jewish lineage in there a well - well look at his name. He's also played an array of white characters on other shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 Canadian and Austrailan is all I can find. But Gellman is not a spanish name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah, but that doens't mean much... Andy Kim was born in Canada, but he is 100 percent Lebanese, I thought he was part Spanish, part Italian, part Jewish? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 I like Yani as well and would love to have Rafe back. I've never had a problem with his acting either. He's not the best actor, but he's not terrible either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 He lived in Spain for a while, which is how he learnt Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 He doesn't put any type of effort into his small Y&R scenes to look like a convincing lawyer. Not like Leslie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 She's awesome! I really wish they had explored her and Neil. I forgot the name of the actress but she was a heck of a lot better than Sofia when he got stuck with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 Love it. Being a member of a core family doesn't make you a legacy character automatically. Abby was raised as Brad's daughter, not as a Newman. That is her legacy. Newman DNA doesn't erase what we saw for years. And she was aged so rapidly she might as well have been a new character. Music is one of Jill's specialties, isn't it? I'm sure she'll pay close attention to it. The Y&R music is one of the many consistent things that set Y&R apart that LML was allowed to chuck after 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LondonScribe Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 Gothic, it done well, can make a show stand out. Some of Days of Our Lives under JER in the 1990's was gothic, and was good to watch. So, that I wouldn't mind. The cinematic look, I'm not so sure about. Does it mean it will look filmic, as in a Primetime show or a movie? Or that the filming technique will be as such, it resembles a grand, cinematic experience, whilst retaining the 'naturalistic' look it has now. I'm not sure I'm making my point brilliantly.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 Not in terms of film-look, in terms of lighting design, it will probably be more cinematic. Actually, Jill's lighting design at GH after the show went HD was kind of cinematic, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LondonScribe Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ah, got it. Thanks Y&RWorldTurner. As for the General Hospital reference, I'll have to look into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 Too bad he's never lived at Juilliard, where he might have learned acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted September 27, 2012 Members Share Posted September 27, 2012 + 1000. JFP's love for the 80s synthesizer, while great for Santa Barbara, makes me very nervous. If anything, she needs to burrow even more deeply into the music archives and bring back the haunting, definitive music Y&R used from 1973 up to the 1990s/early part of 2000s. I can't properly describe them in words, but as soon as you heard them, you knew instantly -- "Y&R!" There is some music currently on the show that could be jettisoned in favour of these classics which remain timeless. Also, MAB uses music over everything. Y&R's past EPs (excluding LML) knew how to intertwine the background music with long stretches of silence, making scenes even more powerful.
