Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think you're right about Mariah. But I'm sure that reason ain't because they think Bryton is too weak of an actor for her. His skin color is the biggest barrier. But that other casting is probably for Lily. The show recognizes that it's an issue lily has never been with a black guy. They'll probably try to correct it again. Besides, Hilary isn't at all well recieved at the moment. Sally is way too smart to take an unconnected character fans want burned at the stake and pair her with another unconnected newbie...Unless it's an exit story. I didn't say it was good all the time. But they will go there easier than they ever would a black man sleeping with a white woman. I can't remember the last time this show was written fairly.

Members GMac Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Isn't Susan Dansby still on staff? I thought I'd seen her in the credits a couple days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 She probably get out voted on her ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 From looking at her twitter feed, she wrote some episode last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 SSM did say in the Logan interview that wouldn't it be nice to bring on Jonelle Allen (who worked with SSM on Generations) as Hilary's mother. It was a joking, fanciful comment, but perhaps it indicates that she's interested in fleshing out Hilary's background more and explaining her insatiable drive. We'll see if she goes there.

Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 MiM did a podcast a few weeks ago where she said that the new regime had taken a real liking to her character and what was going on with her so we'd see Hilary and Devon more and more. She also spoke about filming really emotional scenes. So I think you're correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I was excited about the prospects for Hilary until I saw the first two episodes. It seemed more of the same to me. But as I said earlier, the key word is seem. I'm waiting to see how this "liking" translates onscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Didn't Neil sleep with Ashley in a fade to black implied type thing? 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm in 'wait and see' mode. So far I'm liking the emotional dynamics between characters, something we've seen little of in recent plot-based writing. It would be great if MM is right that they love her. She's a great find and it would be terrible if they waste her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ryanc Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 EW @ Neil and Nikki. I like them as friends and that's it. Neil and Sharon was another friendship I liked but still... idk about that one. Neil and Ashley I really liked. I was so annoyed when they ended that! They both ended up with actors they had no chemistry with. Carmen was black? Jeez. How the hell did I miss that. I swear she was white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think YR needed a modern day writer aka Shelly Altman paired with Sally/Kay. like the east meets the west. Altman wrote all the emotional death stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
