Members DeeeDee Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 Y&R could have already gone the rivalry route with Devon & Mason competing for Hilary or even done a love square with Devon, Hilary, Abby & Tyler given Abby & Devon's previous flirting & Tyler's history with Lily but instead Mason is gone & Tyler is in an afterthought pairing with the "lesser" Newman daughter while Devon chases a woman married to his father. If Devon & Hilary's relationship survives her pairing with Neil she will cheat on him with a white male character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 Like who? Billy. So she can be treated like crap by him so the audience can see how special his rapist Chelsea is to him. If this were OLTL, I might agree. But this is #YR. It will be Nate. Or possibly Summer's little criminal husband. The actor is part native american. They screwed mason over for Hilary's little redemption story with Devon and the fraud. Tyler was never going back into lily's orbit. You are talking of things that were over and done with before the writers even to go with Devon and Hilary as a couple.which was only a few months ago after her pairing with Neil flopped.

Members Cat Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 Shemar. Finally some hotness. I hope the ratings go up; it might trigger more guest stints from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 ^^^^ I was hoping that if the ratings go up they would show the black characters more, like 7 times a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 I am 99% certain that TPTB are hoping Shemar Moore can bring back some of those eyeballs that they have lost over the years with the treatment of their black cast. They think this story they have going now is a hit and they are utilizing them better. They are hoping that the viewers come for Shemar but stay for the Winters story.

Members MoTheGreat Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 ^^^ The viewers not going to stay for Devon & Neil storyline after Shemar leaves, if they going to show them three times a month. They need to add more days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 Shemar Moore is just an attempt by TPTB to try to bring viewers back. Someone extremely high up at CBS had to work out this deal. JFP would never have done this. Apparently the ratings downward spiral caused someone upstairs to finally take notice. Time to cut some dead weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm glad they are undoing that mess of a recast with Eddie Winslow but why the return? I don't want Malcolm back for two episodes. I want him back full-time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 They are on more than 3 times a month nowadays. And I think that's the point they want those that left to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 It's going to stay spiraling down because only thing is important to these people are casting white characters or recasting white characters. Do we really need Adam or Phylis back right now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 You are right. THIS CANVAS DOES NOT NEED PHYLLIS! Excuse my yelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Junita Posted July 27, 2014 Members Share Posted July 27, 2014 THANK YOU! So if there was a real interest in these other characters, they could bring them back too. I'm a huge Shemar fan, and glad to see him returning for a couple of days, but don't feel he's irreplaceable as recast....they just have to put some work into it. Darius McCrary by no means had the Malcolm flavor whatsoever, so that was clearly a miscast. While I loved VR's Drucilla, I feel even she can be recast. This was also an important character, and it makes no sense they haven't at least tried to recast the role since they don't want VR back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Junita Posted July 27, 2014 Members Share Posted July 27, 2014 Touche'! IMO, No one is above being recast. It clearly helps these stories move along when the original actor is no longer available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted July 28, 2014 Members Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's not like they haven't try to recast Dru before. VR is a fighter, they recast her isn't going to seat well with me. & is this bitch CK going to pick who she wants to play Dru. Dru Baber Winters is now being played by Jennifer Beals.

Members Chris B Posted July 28, 2014 Members Share Posted July 28, 2014 The way the soap press is now, if the network and their sources tell them to support a Dru recast, they will, not matter how wrong she is or how basic her portrayal is. Victoria Rowell is a large part of why Dru was successful which is why it's an impossible role to recast. She was so nuanced that I just can't see it being done. I know they did it twice before but those were both temp recasts. I've always wanted to see them, particularly Kent King as Dru. She's a good actress, but that is an obvious miscast.
