An Indian actress who was on the last two years of One Life To Live on ABC and the 2.0 version that streamed on Hulu.

There were some inconsistencies and flaws in the presentation but I liked the actors, Shenaz most of all. 

 

I would have loved to see her on Y&R, maybe she could've been  brought in to interview for head chemist at Brash and Sassy and eventually try to discourage a relation between her baby brother and Ashley, who could've been a rival, of sorts. It might've been something interesting to add some more dimension.

Omg that’s her name? I actually really liked her a lot. Tons of charisma, she popped onscreen. Y&R would be so smart to bring her on as family for Ravi. Maybe she could help bring out something resembling a personality in the character/actor. Actually the guy playing Scott has had SC as his scene partner for months and it did nothing for his portrayal of Scott, so probably not. Still it’d be nice to see her on the show.

Nick Choksi is also a fantastic actor.

 

Bringing him on as a new HWG exec & Shenaz as a Brash & Sassy chemist would be a great way to integrate them onto Y&R's canvas in a realistic yet unobtrusive manner.

 

It would also be a great way to introduce real conflict for Ravi (given AS real life talents as a musician).

 

Having him genuinely caught between two driven, well meaning siblings pressing him to follow two very different career paths (both of which he excels at) is a soap staple.

LOL at the comments. I guess the writer doesn't know that Y&R had already hit a 4.8 in viewers earlier in the month. Me thinks this writer is a fan of the couple and is trying to just pimp them.

When was the last time they had Sharon even acknowledge that she knew Adam let alone had a history with him? I despised Shadam as a couple but it was odd just how separated they kept the two characters when Justin Hartley was in the role, you would never even know at one point they considered each other the loves of their lives. But this is the same show that wrote it that Victoria, Nick, and Nikki actually cared enough about Adam to cut Victor out of their lives, when we saw the complete opposite of that the majority of his time on the show.

Y&R's glass ceiling is stronger than ever:

 

1) Victoria sells B&S and goes from CEO to TGVN lackey

2) Jill gives her power to Cane & Billy

3) Hillary wants to sell her show to have a kid - because she can't have both???!!! Possibly selling to Devon/Neil 

4) Ashley had five days as CEO, which consisted of more time sexually harassing Ravi by ordering him to Club than doing work. 

5) Lauren sells to Jack and becomes his biggest fan because she's an inept CEO who destroyed her family's legacy. And it never occurred to her to join CI - owned by her sister, who's a co-owner of Fenmore's. 

6) Abby's company is disgraced, but Scott get buy his company, which profited off Abby's bad fortune. 

7) Chelsea 2.0. Is this still a thing? 

 

Bottom line: Sharon is the most successful and independent businesswoman in CG. Go figure.

      Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

      The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975.

      No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.

      Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?

      I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline.

      Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

      On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.
