I thought that BJ and MR had very nice chemistry when they were hanging around each other. They were very cute together when Abby was crushing on Devon. I thought that it would turn romantic but then no. MR had her maternity leave and of course, Roxy showed up for one day to remind viewer that Devon had a girlfriend. Another wasted opportunity for him.

I have said it once and I will say it again. TPTB at Y&R/Sony have no interest in any young black male that they can not pair with Lily. It is why we have not had young Nathan come back full time and why Devon can not have an on screen romance. If they were interested in writing for anyone outside of Lily...or interested in writing Devon as a romantic lead (which is a shame that Kevin can be but not him) then they would have brought young Nathan on and had them fighting over some woman by now.

The problem, IMO, has never been BJ like some would like to believe. It is Sony/Y&R/CBS has never given him a chance.

The fact that he is sleeping with day players and their has been no obvious casting for him a romantic partner makes me fear that Summer and Noah are on the horizon.

I agree...That Nick has always drifted away from NE to Victor's dismay. Victor never understood why Nick wouldn't fight for Newman the way that Victoria did. However, as it was stated before, that is canon because of how JM has played Nick, which prompted writers to find something else for him to do because he doesn't come across as a shrewd businessman.

MAB's inability to write business stories changed the entire dynamic of this show...for the worse. People were going around town just randomly bumping into each other instead of them having a real reason to see each other, i.e. like they work together. At least JG is trying...he is giving these people a reason to have to interact other than them seeming wishy washy..."I can't ever see you again Adam"...yet whoever shows up at his door. It made the characters look ridiculous and no one could take them seriously.

That would be priceless if she was Neil's daughter. IMO, if TPTB were going to keep CK, they should have long casted another Winters daughter for Neil. And had her mother show up too.

I hope she is NOT Gus' daughter. Because then that would limit her from being paired with Tyler one day. Nope...let her not be related to any of the males on canvas unless it is someone they would never pair her with anyway...preferably Neil to prevent the pairing from crossing JGs mind.

She looks nice with Adam in the pic...so does Angell for that matter. LOL. And since she seems like she will be quite the businesswoman, Adam needs someone like that by his side. Yep!

Exactly why I want her to be Neil's daughter. I had forgotten about the mysterious Rose. It does seem like she would be involved in that story. But those blog posts seem very personal and are all about embarrassing Neil so some else is probably doing that.

If she does end up as Neil daughter, without recasting Lily they just gave Neil a daughter. Eventually they going to write Lily out & keep Neil. This way people will stop crying for CkLily to have a backbone like her mother & crying for Dru return. This also leave Hillary open to date Devon too.

    • Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for he thought he deserved.  noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong.
    • I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.
    • Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.
    • May 19, 2025 Fairman interviews Lynn Herring about the Nurses Ball. Excellent interview and no GH spoilers. CAUTION There is a minor DAYS spoiler from 12:15 to 14:15, so if you are Days spoiler-free, then skip those two minutes. Thus intentionally posting the link instead of embedding the youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXKsKa1xTE
    • Well life is full of surprises. And it's not the first time over the last few years the 'murder mystery' target has moved off a GH character. So...we'll see.

    • I'm not a Philip fan, but Xander is a kidnapping, murderous thug! I loathe Xander. I don't know why Sarah stays with him. The Stephanie manuscript sex book ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Yawn...this is the best they can write for Stephanie?
    • I agree. I like grey characters. But today veered to dark  Of course not. That's ludicrous 
    • They shouldn't be on the show anymore. The whole Dimera clan should've been written out long time ago. Xander once again turning to violence. He should be in jail. Is he going to beat up Sarah when Xander finds out Sarah lied to him?
    • A recent discussion in the Loving/City forum inspired me to re-read the history of Devon Shepherd.  According to contemporary sources to the plot, Devon never actually kissed Dr. Lynn Carson, PhD. I'd be eager to know if anyone recalls it differently.  My visual memory of Lyn was that she was always dressed in lady-professional drag of the 1980s.   And, that Donna Peskow never toned down her New York accent. Meanwhile, has there ever been a more boring offspring than Devon? On paper, she had it all.  Teen pregnancy, alcoholism, brief foray into bisexuality, adultery, Devon was always down to clown.  But, she was an eternal meekly mouse, with those tiny braids and that namby-pamby vocal tone.  Mr. Shepard must have been a huge nerd, because Devon inherited none of her mother's charm or elegance.  And, don't get me started on her terrible choices for romantic partners.  One can hardly blame Ellen for forgetting about Devon and pretending Julie was her daughter.

      Side note: Devon fell for Cliff Warner after her performed the Heimlich Maneuver on Bonnie and saved her from choking in 1984.  I don't know why this caused me to go on a side quest, but, the Heimlich Maneuver is a relatively recent innovation.  Up until 1986 the government still trained food workers to slap a person on the back in order to dislodge food.  Heimlich's treatment was superior, and in an effort to make it policy, ABC and the other networks agreed to air pro-Heimlich content starting in 1984, according to TV Guide.  So, Cliff was responsible for training mothers at home how to stop their kids from choking.
