I've always felt the show should take another step with winters. They've always been played as friend to Newmans and Abbots. Neil and Devon both have the history to back that up. Moses doesn't have that connection. So it'd be easier to have him come on doing things that Devon and Neil wouldn't 

 

I agree 100%. Unfortunately it'll never happen.

If I were the show I’d consider a Sophia recast. I would just hope they keep her full figured. 

 

Are you kidding?  We'll be lucky if she doesn't come back suddenly light-skinned!

I know that the Barber family on the B&B got connected to the Barber family on Y&R. Olivia made an appearance. What about bringing those characters into the show ? 

 

If they introduced Neil and Malcolm's father.....how about casting John Amos ?

Only if they also introduce Bern Nadette Stanis as their long-lost half-sister. ;)

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. ;)

Or bring back Debbi Morgan as Harmony/Yolanda to anchor Devon and Ana. Move them into the Chancellor Mansion and set up H/Y as a rival to Jill whenever she rolls into town.

They should also bring back Mac to live in the Chancellor mansion with them

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!

I always liked Denise Nicholas of Room 222 and In The Heat Of The Night fame. It would be great for them to create a role for her.

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.
