Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Why because Bryton and Christel aren't the same shade as their on-screen partners? Why do we live in a world where any of this matters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Online viewers will never be even 1/3 of offline, the viewers who matter most, so CBS/YR caving to wackos is because they wanted to. Lane means nothing to YR in the grand scheme of things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I agree here. The show uses lily's fans as an excuse to not write for her But still, the crap comes from her fans nonetheless. TPTB just allows them to hang themselves.

Members MoTheGreat Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 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.

Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think CK has come into her. She just isn't given anything to do. Cane should have died long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Cane's a complete waste. I don't know why or how he's lasted as long as he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 They still didn't satisfy me, I'm still wondering why CKLily never had a black man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taiah Posted December 12, 2016 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I absolutely hate the Lily/Cane pairing. I don't care who she's with, just not him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 What's the difference between Billy and Cane? Aren't they both about 42? why trade one in for the other? That just doesn't seem to make sense. And I don't think it's myth or overblown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
