Members ajsp35801 Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 They exploit him about as much as anyone else. No one walks around with their shirt off daily. Not even Nick, their #1 stud. I doubt they flip this. Almost all fan interest has been for Devon and Hilary. That would be dumber than them pairing Hilary with Neil in the first place. Devon has been pursuing hilary , with a Cork in it, for the past 2 months. And...what else is new? People who want him to be a villain will call him that regardless. Momentum? If we are lucky, all SLs come to an end. What do you expect? This to go on indefinitely. Its not that kind of SL. I am pretty sure Bryton has succeeded in his opportunity. The SL is popular and so is his pairing. What more does one want/expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 The people who insist that Bryton just doesn't work just dont want to see him grow on the show. They also probably want a recast too. Such is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 A recast who they (even if he was Denzel Washington) would insist couldn't act & would ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 Not this viewer. But Lamon & Redaric are not on my radar because they are not the least bit interesting to me. In fact, they are even less interesting to me than Bryton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 You are one of the very few who is consistent. Your standards are the same for everyone. But others, not so much. It sometimes border on the irrational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 I an trying to figure out how this topic turned from Adam recast to this. Oh that's right, someone had to bring up Bryton, of all people in age inappropriate pairings on the show, to say how he doesn't look old enough to be paired with 20 something characters.

Members Khan Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 Let's put it this way: "mature," in this case, is being able to share an intimate moment on-screen with your love interest (whether it's a mere conversation, or something...deeper than that) without it looking as if you are "playing House" in your backyard shed with the daughter of the pastor from your parents' church while your mother and father are serving him iced tea and entertaining him indoors. That's right, they do. But Devon isn't a teenager, and neither is Bryton. (That is, unless I am mistaken, which is totally possible, lol.). Bryton is not a teenager, and even though he is in his mid-twenties IRL, he looks less than that on-screen -- and therein lies the dilemma, IMO.

Members ajsp35801 Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 dead... at your desription. Let's just disagree to disagree on this subject. Again. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 LMBO. Killing me. Seriously, For the first time in as long as I can remember people are talking about these characters without using the term boring. Mission accomplished! While I dont love it, I can't knock the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 You know what? At the end of the day, I truly can't knock it either. It's something. It's cliched and forced, but it's something; and the fact that Jean Passanante tends to do "cliched" and "forced" even for Caucasians means that, for once, the AA's (which is to say, the AA's that TPTB believe will grab the audience's attention the most) are getting equal treatment. It's been a long time since you could say that about Y&R's AA cast contingent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted August 20, 2014 Members Share Posted August 20, 2014 Its so stupid of all the soaps. You have huge untapped audience. Bring in good AA actors and put them into the fabric of your show. As far as I could tell, in the much less progressive 90's, everyone liked Drucilla! My racist grandmother loved her! And Neil.

Members ajsp35801 Posted August 21, 2014 Members Share Posted August 21, 2014 Oh, by the way, I think this is Altman's story. At least she is the one interacting with the Devon and Hilary fans on twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 21, 2014 Members Share Posted August 21, 2014 They had the writing and airtime equal to the white counterparts then. Not so much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
