Members ajsp35801 Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I disagree about Chelsea. That's like another hope coming to town and no one remembering Adam's mother was named hope. No one will forget Adam means no one will forget he has a son named Connor Adam Newnan, which means no one will forget his mother's name is Chelsea. That's the entire point of giving these unconnected women anchor babies. That's true. The rise of the anti-hero ruined soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I think Sage is forgotten. And everyone will forget about Chelsea soon. And she had everybody's babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I disagree. Everyone knows who orphan Christian's bio parents are. Mind you, that was a baby that didn't need to be born. But JFP was shameless with pushing her pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GMac Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 The music score during Victoria's scenes today was nice and added a lot to them. I don't think it was a classic from the Bell days, but it's way better than the JFP trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I don't see why there seems to be a need with Y&R to see Devon as poor. There's so much that can be done with the character, including bringing characters who may be his family(the ones he thought were family before Dru and Neil took him in) and past acquaintances from before he was on our screens.

Members edgeofnik Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 Not poor, but Devon easily could've been placed at Newman or Jabot (forget CI) as a young, hungry man with something to prove. They could've had him going to college at night or online (while working) to better himself. He would've been a great example of someone who had to earn his way up - face the challenges of rising to the top in a family-owned business (the way Neil was forever blocked at Newman). There were tons of better options that would have served the character better than the ridiculous Tucker daddy (a retcon character) and gaining the inheritance from a legacy family that made zero sense (like Jill and Fenmores). Devon was already tied to the Winters family, which isn't exactly poor. Frankly, I'm surprised Bryton is still on considering the way the character has been dismissed over the year. I realize a lot of his past listless acting came from the fact that he rarely had cohesive storylines. Pairing him with MiM certainly changed that and it shows.

Members BetterForgotten Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'll still never get over Devon sleeping with the woman he thought was his aunt after he found out she wasn't... Awful, awful storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 Awful indeed. I remember there were speculation of him and Lily pairing up just after Neil and Dru took him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 Y&R did almost that exact story with Neil. And look where he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StepBack Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 I just want to say that even back in the Bell days the Winters were also only paired with black characters. Nor do I see a problem with it. I don't need to see an interracial couple just for the sake of diversity. Plus, when they tried Victoria/Neil the backlash was loud apparently.

Members StepBack Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 Wow, what? That's the impression I'm getting around here. For diversity to work, we need to pair a black and white character together. I think we've lost track of what diversity is, when we focus on one aspect of it. I would rather see a powerful black couple. Powerful asian couple. Powerful gay couple. That is why I like Hilary/Devon when written right. That is why Dru and Neil worked for the most part. I like that the Winters finally have a family company that is thriving. The Winters have gotten some pretty lame stories, but they're one of the better all around families on the show. Hell, weren't people annoyed that Lily is married to a white man? I remember the whole CK won't pair with black actor stuff around here. This board is very indecisive.

Members Soaplovers Posted April 5, 2018 Members Share Posted April 5, 2018 Would everyone agree that The Winters family suffered when Dru left? She was the interesting one in the Neil/Dru coupling..imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
