Michael Logan graded all four soaps on diversity in 2015: 

http://www.tvinsider.com/article/62966/grading-the-daytime-soaps-on-diversity/

 

GH hired two black leading men? Where? I see no blacks in lead positions. The show has actually regressed. Jordan played a bigger role earlier in the year and is now barely seen. TJ? Nowhere to be seen. B+? The show gets a C- and thats only bc there are people of color in town, even if they dont amount to anything significant

 

B&B. That show made a real effort. The Avants are a legitimate family and have staked their place in B&B history. They fit and dont feel forced. They also happen to be the best part of a mostly awful show. Maya is not only black and transgender but she's been lead actress and thats soemthing I thought Id ever see on this soap. IA with the score here.

Are we again pretending Logan is credible?

All end of year soap lists give better grades than they deserve because across the board F's would look bad. But good for B&B, I suppose.

 

Nicole (Reign Edwards) and Zende (Rome Flynn) are the year’s dreamiest new couple.

 

Except the actors seem repulsed by each other.

dreamiest? Who the hell even uses that word?

Glad to see Logan is praising Jelly for diversity. Jean always has been a champion for diversity in her soaps. She is a liberal women who feels this is important

You wouldn't know from her writing that she's for diversity. TJ,Jordan and Curtis will never have a strong presence under Jeanine P.

Minus B&B, all of the other soaps should've gotten failing grades. They may hire minorities to serve as window dressing but they never give them compelling stories. 

ugh the GH a** licking........so they hired 2 new AA roles the END of the year, yet he felt the need to grade them above Y&R (which I will say is no where near perfect either, but they at least HAD a black story no matter how degrading it was)

B&B gets the highest grade though I would give them a solid B+....

Fail across the board for me

DAYS deserved a huge F, considering Abe's only "story" was squinting twice at Lani before he casually told her at the Ugly Dress party that "hey, I see you're my daughter", then disappearing again, plus the gay cull which was glaringly obvious and offensive. I'll give them some credit for the Hernandez stuff, but they've definitely done more harm than good this year to their score, in my eyes.

Galen "I play Latino characters because it pays the bills" Gering does not count as diversity. Did they showcase any cultural traditions?

 

I have that problem when people use GH's Sonny as an example of diversity. Sonny isn't remotely in touch with his Cuban heritage at all despite being raised mostly by his Cuban mother and growing up with her traditions. And then all his kids are white.

Fail across the board for me

Even B&B?

What diversity? LMAO I cannot

I'm trying to remember what Jean has ever done with minority characters? Her stint with Y&R was nothing to brag about and I think most of ATWT black characters were gone by the time she got over there.
