Members PJA Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 Sabrina was very boring during her triangle with Britt and Patrick. She has improved over the last couple of months IMO. That's exactly how I felt about her. I got sick of everyone talking about how great she was. Very bad writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PJA Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 I've seen Victoria called boring before. In fact I've seen people make threads about how boring and bland she is since AH took over the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeeeDee Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 It is true. There was a very brief reaction when Madison was moved into Ryan's orbit (which in itself was more about Gatschet being an alternative to Vasi) but that was less about Frankie & more about viewers hatred of Ryan. By the time Madison was paired with Scott almost no one cared about trying her with Frankie again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 From the few times I have watched Days, I thought Will and a Sonny had ZERO chemistry. I wouldn't mind if the entire Abbot Clan, except my Tracy, was replaced on Y&R. The Abbot/Newman feud is played out. If the Newman's are the major family then it's time they get a new rival family. The Abbots have gone as far as they can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 If the Devon character had half the opportunities as his white counterparts maybe he wouldn't be boring. Any actor of color could play Devon & he would still be labeled boring because it's near impossible to create a character worth rooting for with the scraps Bryton's been given. He & Michael Graziadei's started on Y&R at about the same time yet viewers had no problem rooting for Graziadei even when Daniel's stories were horrible (porn addiction).

Members PJA Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 So we should just suck it up take crappy stories written for blacks? The problem isn't with viewers...its with the writers. The best storylines are almost always written for whites. In the past Y&R wrote some good storylines for their characters...but lately not so much. And GH is worse. All of their black characters need to go. BTW, I'm black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PJA Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 Nooooooo lol. Im the opposite. If one family has to go,,keep the Abbotts. Individually their characters are much more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't know why Bryton and Graz are always compared as if all of us took to Daniel. Most of the time I didn't give damn about Daniel either. Daniel was not entertaining when he was written off and I can't remember the last story he had that was interesting. It would probably help if Bryton didn't play all Devon's scenes as holier than thou. The constant slugging gets annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 The issues for Latinos actors are different than those of African American actors & their characters. Latino actors are usually allowed more options in terms airtime & pairings (especially when they're lighter like Florenica Lozano or ethnically ambiguous like Maurice Bernard). African American actors (no matter how light or ethnically ambiguous) are inevitably stuck in BLACK stories & punished (creatively) when those stories inevitably fail.

Members Cheap21 Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 Bingo, bc he's a bore. Changing the actor isn't going to automatically make the character interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 Devon's a bore because the character is never allowed to do anything but exist as a diversity token. It would keep viewers from labeling the character as boring. Instead they would ignore his lack of airtime & story in exchange for rare glimpses of his abs (Cornelius Smith, Lamon Archey, Sean Blakemore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 They keep chem testing him with Mishael Morgan but those two have no chemistry together. She has chemistry with everyone else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 6, 2014 Members Share Posted January 6, 2014 The actresses Bryton's had chemistry with (besides Tatyana Ali) over the years (Adrianne Leon, Adrienne Frantz, Liz Hendrickson, Marcy Rylan) were never paired with him.
