Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 29, 2017 Members Share Posted November 29, 2017 I don't think that Maya was a mistake. Brad made the mistake for making Maya transgender and not taking the matter seriously. If I were GLAAD or any other LGTBQ media outlet that covered this story from the start, I'd be all over his ass. Being part of the LGBTQ community myself, I found the story to be offensive from jump. Why? Because it flopped tremendously when it comes to telling the story of a transgender transitioning. Maya had no opposition. Maya had no real obstacles. Maya got a cheesy wrap up with a bow on it. Everyone was PC and accepting, and that isn't the cast for most transgenders. Maya should've faced scrutiny, threats, etc.--a true tale to life. I've always said Rick should've lashed out against Maya originally too before coming around to realizing he loved her. Bill should've used Maya's situation to create scandal at Forrestor as way to get viewership in his media conglomerate. Caroline should've been foul to Maya for a stint too. I can go on and on about story possibilities for Maya. Instead Brad flew through stories like Speed Racer, skipping beats and story potentials once he got the press attention he wanted. I find writers like Brad Bell to be disgusting. Simply users who use stories for plot points and adulation while failing to realize the true impact a story like this could make. I do give him props with Steffy/Bill/Liam finally; however, this was a story he should've pulled the trigger on years ago. Especially, when Bill was married to Katie. It should've been Steffy vying after Bill, not Brooke. The tension and disdain Steffy and Katie had at that time was juicy enough that it could've given us our new version of Stephanie v. Brooke. Do you think that's why Brad Bell cast Ingo? B/c he's Aussie and the show has a huge following over there? If so, I find that to be so stupid. That's what I don't get. They could've brought him on as a relative of Ivy's from her mom's side. These stupid a** stunt castings are the primary reason why soaps are garbage now. It wasn't even necessary to recast Thorne when Winsor is willing and capable to still play the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted November 29, 2017 Members Share Posted November 29, 2017 Next thing you know Paul Leyden or Murray Bartlett is going to be cast as the new Nick Marone... BTW, has any had the chance to read Harmon's interview in the newest SOD? I saw them advertise it online but hadn't seen in any stores. In fact around here I only see ABC and CBS SID anymore anyways.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 29, 2017 Members Share Posted November 29, 2017 Plz don't put that into the atmosphere. But I'd be interested to hear what Winsor said. I'm betting he was respectful. I'd be all for him chewing a hole in Brad's ass, but he must know deep down that he knows he'll return eventually b/c Ingo has flop written all over him.

Members ranger1rg Posted November 29, 2017 Members Share Posted November 29, 2017 Ingo is a complete bore as Thorne. His failed attempt at an American accent is the least of his problems. Hey, Ingo, go back to making those adorable supportive statements for right wing garbage like the Fat Orange Blob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted November 29, 2017 Members Share Posted November 29, 2017 I will be very curious to see how this turns out. Somehow, I see this being Ingo's shortest-running gig since Titans. 😨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted November 29, 2017 Members Share Posted November 29, 2017 Once the buzz around Ingo is over, I predict Brad will recast Taylor for a Bill/Steffy/Taylor triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted November 30, 2017 Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 Or better, Ivy's half brother from John's first marriage, which would also make him Eric's nephew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted November 30, 2017 Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 That would have been a great tie in to B&B history as such a character would have ties to Maggie and Jessica as well, and the Aussie accent explained as something he picked up in Australia while living with John.
