But that doesn't stop ugly white guys from bedding females.

TV Guide Magazine: Let's talk about your other big reveal. At what point did you decide Fake Cassie would also turn out to be Mariah?

Phelps: Very early on. As soon as Tyler even mentioned there was a Mariah, the writers knew it would be Fake Cassie. She is going to be a huge threat to the Abby-Tyler relationship, which we know really needed some help. Mariah will also continue to have enormous involvement in the Sharon-Nick story and, obviously, her relationship with Ian is going to be big when it's finally discovered by other people. She's a wild girl, not a good girl like Cassie, and that will impact the whole Newman family.

According to JFP this was not a rewrite. The Ian part was but they always knew Fake Cassie would be Mariah. And she knows that Tabby is a flop. LOL

LIES. Lies, lies, lies.

Must Steve Burton be dragged into every conversation?

#ICannot.

I still want to know how Lily reminded Tyler of Mariah? Help me out here. From what I've seen, these chicks are night and day, literally and figuratively!

*whistles like I just heard a whopper of a fib*

But who am I to say? I guess we will be seeing Lily-like behaviors from faux Cassie, errrr Mariah soon, then?

Alrighty.

If I remember that woman who was "Mariah" had darker skin and wasn't the tattoo on the left arm?

I haven't read all the replies yet but yes the first two times they showed the tat it was on a left wrist.

I ask that question too.

soaps are all about looks and symmetry, and Hilary is so far out of Devon's ballpark I can't even. I mean sure he's cute (and super rich now, so there's that...), but he's no Neil or Tyler. And the actors just aren't good enough to get you to look DEEPER. Everything is so... surface.

and I think audiences wouls EAT UP Devon spoiling their Cassie (regardless of what anyone says, this character will have NO edge. LOL She will be Cassie reborn to pander to the Nick/Sharon faithful), and that's pretty much what Mariah will be. Grown up Cassie, who they have missed for so long!

Devon has never been written to have any fire. I think it would look good on him. Tyler wouldn't be so hot if not for his physique.

Neil and Hillary are beyond mismatched! That crap jive he was talking to Devon after the Nill boink was disgusting and demeaning. Did Hill think it was cute? I darn sure didn't. I can't believe they had the audacity to give that script to KSJ.

This from day one viewer won't eat up Devon and faux Cassie, or Ian with ANYONE but that older lady - his former wife or somebody in that age group. No actress who was on Y&R prior to his arrival but her.

I think faux Cassie's adoptive mom or grandmother is Ian's former wife who also came to GC asking for money in return for info. And not sure if it's this thread or not but faux Cassie may be Frank's bio daughter but it makes more long-term sense for her to be Sharon's. I don't know if Ian is Frank's dad or an adoptive parent or grandparent of faux Cassie, or Sharon's dad. Frank was quite shady as I recall. Maybe he sold a twin.

I almost want to say good going for giving faux Cassie ties to Tyler AND Ian but the writing is so sloppy across the board, I can't. Sensational ideas are one thing and good writing is what makes them great and lasting and impactful. The writers have not shown me that they have any of this. At all.

I don't think the audience will like Devon spending Kay's money

Doesn't matter to me. It's his to do with as he pleases. The only protesting to be done was about the entire rewritten will which was actually BS in other ways too.

I definitely makes more sense long term for her to be related to Sharon. I know I am the minority but I will be really disappointed if they don't connect her to Sharon in some way as either a sister, daughter, niece, or cousin. I like CG and want her to have some connections to canvas. Sharon needs an adult relative to be on her side or to fight for in some way to soften her. Plus, it gives her story and screen time that isn't about Nick or her disease. Sharon desperately needs that. Besides, I also want to eliminate the possibility of her and Noah being paired. Man, would that each up all kinds of screen time.

But your argument was that since Kristoff isn't talented Neil should be recast with a "better" actor but what happens when that also Neil doesn't get any airtime?

Will a "lack of talent" still be to blame?

Of course not. If Neil were recast (which would never happen) with a better actor and still be nothing more than an Uncle Tom for the white massas businessmen of GC, then I would have to change my tune. But right now, AFAIC, the fact that Neil is AA and therefore marginalized on this show is only half of the problem. Even if we had a regime in place that was more sympathetic toward AA actors, characters and relationships, I'd still worry about giving KSJ any significant amount of airtime for reasons that would have nothing to do with his ethnicity.

Sorry, Chit, my response made no damn sense.

What does that have to do with anything?

I'm not going to say Shemar couldn't make Malcolm "work" just b/c his return to the show turned out to be a bust. His return wasn't handled right at all, but before then, when he was on Y&R the first time around, his presence on the show was mutually beneficial. That's all I'm saying.

She still needs to be Sharon's daughter. I hope for a long lost twin twist

agreed cheap

I'm just remembering when CK/Mariah was in the hallway after locking Abby in the apartment overnight, and her scurrying away in heels. Clackity clack clack. When will CG be in heels as Mariah?

If they knew CG was going to be Mariah all along, at the very least, they sure botched quite a few details.
