She could be Neil's biological mother (although the thought of "James Evans" and "Willona Woods" hooking up seems wrong to me).

 

But Ralph Carter could be Devon and Ana's gay, musically talented uncle.

I said this elsewhere and since it is a soap opera, it could work....

 

Maybe since Neil had his mother on the show who passed. They come to later find out that she had another son (being Neil's brother obviously) out there....possibly bringing him on and intertwine them of course with Lily, Devon, Ana and the rest of the family. Including bringing back Moses as he should be brought back.

 

Love Ana she is so  friggin' beautiful and also sweet to boot....and can the Actress can Act as well.  I was so happy when they brought her back and to see the chemistry she has with everyone as well is fantastic. 

 

Also need to step up Devon's role to be even more prominent… Maybe they can bring Roxy back (TA) for him. I think they were an awesome and at the time they split them up instead.

Roxy was never a full character. She never even had a last name. She was a place holder to a) stop folks from saying Devon was in love with like though the show kept the idea of the pairing floating for years hence Devon never going by Winters b) keep folks from asking him to be paired with the legacy white girls on canvas. 

 

Look how quickly they got rid of her, a 3 day arc, after 6 years together to pursue him and hilary. The show never meant them as anything and they never once had a story. When Devon did have story, she never played an integral part and was never around. What a mess!

In my years of watching black couples on soaps, I’ve never seen anything quite so half-assed as Devon/Roxanne. (And that’s not even mentioning how the Devon/Aunt Tyra situation was handled, which was a dismissive, throwaway, “we don’t give a sh!t” deal.) It’s so disrespectful that when I think about it, I get upset at myself for having stuck with this show for years.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?

      Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that

      Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?

      But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
