Members YRBB Posted January 11, 2015 Members Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm intrigued by what's the story behind the pills Andre is taking but the most interesting part about him was during that scene with Cookie when he hugged her ... and got that look. I don't know why, but it was very reminiscent of something J.R. Ewing would do. In that moment, I saw A LOT of potential for him being the J.R.-type character for this show, if they play it right. I really want to see him scheming and manipulating to get what he wants. Since we're all making these comparisons (Cookie is Alexis! Jamal is Steven!) one can say even his wife=Sue Ellen! lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 11, 2015 Members Share Posted January 11, 2015 Andre gives off an Adam Carrington vibe, he sees his mother has a route to getting what he wants and will be the big schemer out of the brothers. I think he's bipolar, that was the idea I got from him taking the pills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted January 11, 2015 Members Share Posted January 11, 2015 Do we have to stick to comparisons with just one soap? In all seriousness, I disagree that Andre feels like Adam. Adam was an outsider who missed out on all the wealth and privilege the rest of his condescending, unaccepting siblings had. He also barely had his father's acceptance or cooperation. Andre is a different beast: The oldest brother with his life seemingly figured out, business acumen and a strong belief that he ought to be his father's son and heir, even if he has yet to have his approval. Now who does that sound like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted January 11, 2015 Members Share Posted January 11, 2015 Are we really comparing characters on Empire to Adam's Y&R as if he was some legendary character in the annals of soap opera history. *side eye* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 11, 2015 Members Share Posted January 11, 2015 He is different in the aspect that he's not an outsider, but I think the angle with him playing up to his mother and possibly being being manipulative is like Adam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted January 11, 2015 Members Share Posted January 11, 2015 I love the show, I'm glad I watch it, I stop watching things that was on Fox. Too bad Platinum didn't last, we could have two black musical show on air. I like the whole cast, Hope to see some of my favorite rappers & singers on there. I still don't see why Jamal & Hakeem going to be in competition with each other, one is a rapper the another one is a singer. I think the father( Can't spell his name) going to spend more time around Cookie once he's inform that she been talking to the feds. Then that leaves his girlfriend getting jealous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted January 12, 2015 Members Share Posted January 12, 2015 I keep coming back to this photo because it's totally classic soap. That fur, that face, everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 12, 2015 Members Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I still think its surreal that they are doing a tv show together on network tv. I know she has a career with tv but he especially is one I associate as primarily a film star. I wonder how long he will stick with it. The pilot already set him up to either go to jail or be killed off within 3 years due to disease Speaking of which, I wish this wasnt on Fox. It should be on cable or better yet a premium channel like Showtime or HBO. I think the censorship will limit it as you just expect to hear cursing from a show like this Edited January 12, 2015 by Cheap21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nate4 Posted January 12, 2015 Members Share Posted January 12, 2015 The people who are b*tching that they shouldn't of used "faggot" are idiots. We are supposed to move past by pretending the word doesn't exist? The show proved it wasn't homophobic by using that word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 12, 2015 Members Share Posted January 12, 2015 The context was clear when Cookie used it. She was saying it because that's what Luscious thinks of him as but she's know he's not that. Anyone that can't see that is being willfully obtuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
