Members edgeofnik Posted June 23, 2013 Members Share Posted June 23, 2013 What a great clip! Interesting how three very talented actors, totally out class the one lethargic actor, who was sleepwalking through it, as usual.... I miss seeing AF on either B&B or Y&R - I actually liked the Amber/Kay relationship - now it's evident why it worked so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted June 23, 2013 Members Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yep, was true even back in the Bill Bell days. They'd showcase Shemar Moore's assets but never would give him the hot love scenes that Don Diamont or Josh Morrow got on the regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted June 23, 2013 Members Share Posted June 23, 2013 Unless he was "seducing" his brother's wife... At its core, Y&R is still a very conservative show. I've never gotten some of the choices that the show has made, esp with it's huge AA fan base (or at least what's left of it). While Bryton IS a problem when it comes to the whole hunk/sex appeal, other AA men on Y&R have definitely had that IT factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 23, 2013 Members Share Posted June 23, 2013 I agree. Y&R definitely plays into stereotypes when it comes African Americans although I do remember Neil and Dru having a couple short steamy sex scenes. It took them forever to let Tyler have sex, but we still have not seen Noah in a sex scene. I think that on top of being a boring writer, JG has no understanding about the importance of playing up the sexuality of the male characters on show and not just in the PR. I saw a recent scene with Billy et al., were in the gym and every single guy had his shirt on. WTH? Are you kidding me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 23, 2013 Members Share Posted June 23, 2013 I think he did have a sex scene with Keesha, that's all I can remember though. Or maybe he didn't, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted June 23, 2013 Members Share Posted June 23, 2013 Kristoff & Shemar both had chemistry with white actresses but it was never capitalized on. Like Leslie who had a ton of potential to until (like Sophia & Karen before her) she was marginalized to the Black storyline. The only time Black actors are paired with white actors in Daytime is when they're going to be on the losing end of a love triangle with another white actor.

Members DeeeDee Posted June 23, 2013 Members Share Posted June 23, 2013 Bryton doesn't lack sex appeal (he's actually grown up to be very attractive). He's not a steroid monster (Steve Burton) or an underwear model (Peter Porte) but he'd be fine if he got half the chances for love scenes & romantic relationships his white peers get.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 23, 2013 Members Share Posted June 23, 2013 I guess the next time anyone wonders why Primetime serials have 'it' over their Daytime counterparts, what everyone's just been talking about would be one of the reasons. I get the fact that these shows are in the Daytime but I honestly don't see what's so dangerous or off putting about showing good looking and in some cases...gorgeous Black guys in passionate love scenes. JG is as timid as they come in terms of the writing but on Y&R it didn't start with just him. Like someone said, this goes back decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted June 24, 2013 Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 Latino actors have done slightly better (when tanned white actors aren't being cast to play Latino) while Asians & Native Americans are almost non-existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted June 24, 2013 Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 Bryton is not sexy nor that appealing onscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted June 24, 2013 Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 Considering the men who were in that scene them having their shirts on was a blessing. Billy and Adam are puffy as hell and flabby in the midsection. The last time Adam was shirtless it was scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 24, 2013 Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 I still remember that hideous boxing match between Cane and Billy where they looked so flabby and bloated. Sometimes people need to keep their clothes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members full hearts Posted June 24, 2013 Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 LOL. I didn't mind they had their shirts on, was actually greatful. Now if it was Tyler or Mason working out and we didn't see some skin. I'd be salty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
