Its so obvious it’s because he’s black. Look at Kyle. Nate was much more important to the show than Kyle was, yet they don’t even try with him. With his career and his age range he could easily be involved in so many different things and paired with half with women on the show, but they don’t even attempt anything. I understand not using Malcolm to reintroduce him, but you expect me to believe y’all can’t get Tonya back for two episodes? Shame because the actor is pretty good!

When Nate first started, he was all over the place. They gave up on him quickly. 

 

ETA: it's partially circumstancial and partially cause he's black. Had Mishael stayed, Nate would be on every day in some torrid love affair. He'd also probably still be dispensing out advice to Newmans too.

Wasn't he magically employed over night at the hospital?  I remember him being the doctor in the ER when someone was brought in there.  And wasn't he treating Victoria because didn't she tell him about J.T.?  Does he just not go to work now?

I think Ana is a two-fer. She's lily and Hilary's diversity swap. 

 

I do think they'll circle back around to Nate.  They won't cut him lose without a romance. He's Mal's type of black man. So, he will get another chance to fail. 

 

They are using Phyllis to do that. Bryton said as much at the last tea. They knew what Mishael brought to the show before they decided to let her walk. I think they were banking on folks contuning to watch regardless of her presence or not. I can say that from what I see on Twitter, the casting of Loren as Ana has gone some ways in repairing hurt feelings with a certain set.

I everybody...I haven't posted in a long time, been  busy..  I had to stop in and say...How pleased  I'm with the casting Ana sooo beautiful....I also like nuFen and now Reed is back whom I liked a lot.

 

I saw some comments about Ana who she may be paired with. I to hope not somebody right away... It's nice to develop the character although I love Ana already....She is gorgeous, sweet and intelligent all in one....I see what it's done for Victoria to be written alone for a while although she can use somebody now, she seems so strong now and dressed better and looks very pretty too. 

 

For Ana I don't see however a big deal if she is paired with a white character....I see some may have an issue with it and I don't get why? Is it the type you feel or you rather she is with somebody who is black? I say if they have the "perfect fit" does it matter what color they are?

 

Love is love is love is love and go with it if it works....Only I would not like it to be somebody that has been on the show right now like old characters. I rather somebody new for her, he also can be black just as long as it works I don't see an issue whether it be same race or interracial…..I just want to see it as a romance not somebody like Phyllis or Summer.

With Nate, they did a little thing with Victoria -tai chi ? in her office and that was that.

 

Rather than the Nick/Sharon/Billy/Phyllis/Victoria merry go round, try Nate with Sharon,Phyllis, Mia,Victoria etc

 

At least have him interact with them in some way to expand his role and potential.

      I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

      And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.

      I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)

      There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

      Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

      Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.

      It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
