Y&R Casting Hispanic Role

She just played an 18 year old on her way to becoming The Popstar so a 20 year old isn't far out of the realm.

If they're raiding from their summer sensation then her other option would be Ashley Holliday. If either is picked then the movement for a second season loses air and Eddie/Loren fans will be devastated but maybe not since they are certain it's going to happen no matter what. Either ending up on the show and opposite Noah would create quite the dynamic--especially AH. You;d have girlfriend on that show turned sister on this and sister on that show turned girlfriend on this.

So you don't care for Brittany Underwood?

Ashley Holiday is not a singer I don't think. But for me this has nothing to do with HH, I'm just not the biggest fan of BU. I don't hate her, she's just kind of there and I'd rather see a fresh face. I'm surprise dFV hasn't contacted her yet though because I heard RC wanted her to make a GH appearence. Starr needs more propping.

I didn't think for a second that it has anything to do with HH. I figured you might have some other reason for not wanting to see her fill the role.

Maybe Ashley Holliday doesn't sing so she can be the sister down the road.

I remember that people used to rave about Langston's relationship with Dorian but I don't recall being ultra impressed and I barely recall how she cheated on Marco. As for BU on HH, there were moments when Loren interacted with certain characters where she was okay. I didn't liker her with Kelly at all. She was fine with Nora and at times with Melissa who was generally a bit too much in an overly quirky Spinelli way--okay at first and then in mild doses after. Oddly, Eddie and Loren worked for me because they only had to focus on building a romance which I think worked. Their characters individually could be annoying. And maybe it's me but I found Cody Longo's dramatic scenes OTT. I won't even blame the writing for that.

RC must be too smart for his own good and fantastically egotistical. I cannot believe someone commended him for what he did to Elizabeth.

But now Y&R does have Brent Boyd who thinks his writing is the..... One can only hope he gets a shot at another absentee father storyline for the sake of more awesome dialogue.

BU is half Colombian and speaks fluent spanish.

I'd rather they find another decent fresh face. BU was better on HH than OLTL but got outshined by Ashley Holiday, Jama Williamson, etc

The lack of ethnic diversity on this show has had me rolling my eyes for years. There hasn't been a Latina on Y&R since Isabella and we know how that turned out (still Eva Longoria made a memorable mark in that role).

A singer, eh, I guess I was hoping for junior executive or something.

I wonder whether she'll be segregated along with the Winters family or will the cast finally integrate the way it was in the 90s.

I was going to say that maybe if she is an executive, she'd be more likely to mingle with all the characters but I've read that Neil's ex, Sophia, is an executive and it didn't do anything for her character's visibility.

Then again, it's a different regime, so perhaps a different trajectory for this character. I guess I should suspend my judgement and just wait and hear.

If the character is cast with a Latin actress she will be on once a week.

If the character is cast with a white actress she will be on every day.

I didnt mind Dru attacking Carmen bc I couldnt stand her but man did they make her come across REAL ghetto in that scene. Talking crazy and putting a coworker in a headlock at work? How many angry black woman stereotypes were they going for here

I was just about to post this! Since it's been so true of soaps in recent years. Unless the character was soley used to prop others.

Yes they really tried to make Dru look ghetto as hell back then.
