Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 Maya's parents are coming to town, played by Anna Maria Horsford and Obba Babatundé. Both are terrific actors! http://www.tvinsider.com/article/2056/anna-maria-horsford-and-obba-babatund-join-the-bold-and-the-beautiful/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 Anna Maria Horsford was on GL 35 years ago as Holly's cellmate. Glad to see her back on soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wingwalker Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 Do they have enough money in the Black Budget for them? Oh wait, wrong Bell show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted June 4, 2015 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 There commitment to diversity this past year is truly a marvel, and just shows how completely abysmal the rest of the soaps have been doing in this department. And their black actors aren't in "side" stories either, they've been part of the main one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 It is committment to diversity or committment to lining their pockets with what's working in Prime Time right now? Black folks have always existed. Everyone is trying to jump on the Colored Folks Making Us Money bandwagon, and BB is no different. Lee Daniels is a "pioneer". Empire is the hottest show in TV right now. You'd be a complete idiot to not tap into some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Markjeh Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 I just hope it lasts and all these characters are not gone by next year! Although I imagine Maya's parents are only here for a short visit or recurring at most anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Michael Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 Very good casting. At least they didn't slap throwaway actors into these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members edgeofnik Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 Very pleased with the casting. OC they will only be around for this arc and that's OK. I'm glad they waited to get outstanding actors for these roles. I fear though that the writing is going to continue to let me down (just like changing Rick into Dick). They'll come on as 'small town bigots' into 'progressive' and 'enlightened' LA and leave being 'educated' and 'corrected' by the liberal elites. I truly hope that B&B can figure out how to write these character with shades and compassion instead of being 'ignorant.' I can't even imagine what it like for a parent with a TG child and the conflicts and fears that would cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 I would have cast Clifton Davis and Jonelle Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 Wow, B&B is pulling all the stops in creating a black cast - like Y&R did in the early 1990s with the Barbers... This should get interesting - as long as Maya's parents are not PC - just because "black people on soaps play board games" et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
