Y&R - New Casting

Can't stand her Valley Girl ass, TBH. Lily looked so pathetic and juvenile as she was running around town last week grinning like a fool about Devon firing Hillary. I know they have a 'history' but it made her look soooo bad. What are you, 5? I preferred Davetta in the role.

In CKs defense, she seemed very excited about being paired with Tyler/RW. Her more vocal fans are the ones that's the hindrance. They cried racism to CBS and Sony and will do so again if Lily breathes the air of any black man.

 

It's odd to me because how is it racists for a black woman to be paired with a black man. But then they are an odd bunch because they also said that Hevon fans were racists for liking Devon and Hilary together. But I digress. 

 

Whoever the actor is will catch hell from them much like RW, MiM, now BJ does.

No, because Lily's fans only want her with white men, namely Cane. But they'll take another white man. They feel Lane hasn't gotten their due cause they are IR.  And because Devon happens to be in a same race relationship that TPTB has decided that they care about just a little. They think it's racist for CBS to care about Hevon because they feel TPTB only do because in their words, "they are both the same race/black."  Supposedly they are more acceptable. lol

 

Side note: I think we all know that black folks come in all shades. I don't think anyone sees Bryton and Mishael as "different" from each other. Nor do they see Neil, Lily, Devon, and Hilary as such. At least I don't think so.

Let's be real CK is a weak actress. They try writing to her strength, viewers either wanted her dead or back burn. Bryton & MM are so much better.

 

They know Cane is nobody, that's why these people was fighting for them.  If Cane becomes important these people will be saying he can do much better then Lily.

And yet they ignored the significant fans that Davetta gained during her stint on the show.

 

Y&R had NO use for Redaric & Lamon except for diverting attention away from the shows issues with race in the aftermath of the press taking an interest in Vicki's tweets & to quiet the growing group of fans who were wondering why CK had never been in a non-IR relationship.

 

Once the news cycle ended & the characters completed their missions both the actors were gone.

I remember them rabid ass Lane stans acting like Tyler was beneath Lily and labeled him a thug. Hell even messy Muhney took up for Redaric on twitter. If this new guy is for Lily then the same mess will happen again. The resentment towards Devon finally getting some shine and a love interest is idiotic also. I guess he was suppose to stay a talk to for Lily until Roxanne drops by each holiday. That "only Lily and her white king should get stories" mentality is ridiculous.

CK has been hindered as a 28 y.o. paired with a 42 y.o. - it's even worse when you think she was in early 20s and basically Lily's freedom years have been swiped. The easy story (and I'm hoping this casting is a clue), is to have her model again as face of "Bare." Rekindle with Billy, send Cane off to Oz with the kids or send the kids to boarding school. Cane can fling with Ashley - they had some chemistry before ED was 'traded' to DAYS a few years ago.

 

The race issue with her pairings is an overblown myth by a small group of vocals. What difference does it make? I mean I feel for the writers - they can't win - if they pair an AA actor with another AA - 'oh, they're segregating all the AAs'; if the do an interracial 'oh, they don't want to show an AA character with a strong black man/woman.'  It's a lose-lose.

    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
