Your negative is my reality. I've been watching daytime for my entire life and I've seen the trajectory of black characters and black actors and it has not been good and does not look promising. I'm not gonna let this small victory, a literal gold shiny thing, distract me from how black talent is treated on daytime. Just 3 years ago they refused to pay Mishael her worth and we lost the more interesting of the two characters she's played. What about the history here would make me think they'd do any better now?

@Darn— That is just negative - for daytime to thrive — inclusion is a must.. I’m hoping for better days.. pun intended … -
Happy for Mishael as an idea but it took the death of a genre for them to honor a black woman in the lead category. Do you think they'll give her better writing? No. Give her character more depth? No. Pay her what she deserves? Absolutely not. So what does that make this? The daytime bubble patting itself for being progressive in a way that absolutely will not matter because nothing will change. Y&R knows damn well the stronghold it has on AA viewers and does. Not. Care.

this is for the best. Ben should NEVER have been "redeemed" and paired with Hope and Bo's kid. A MESS. GTFO the show, tbh. I hope Ben never comes back even if Ciara does.
