If these fans truly care about MM and her new character, they'd want her to be established as a character on her own merits because without that foundation, any relationship she is placed it will immediately become centered around the man, not her.  The stronger her individual characterization is drawn the more likely she will be to hold her own in a pairing and the less likely she will be to have her personality fade away when a part of a coupling.

Today's soaps have a genuine problem with building characters that people truly care about because they fail to spend the time to build distinctive characters withn their own personal histories/stories to build on.

 

Most unconnected people like Mishael's Hilary and Amanda need to be tied to a core family member for relevance (with viewers and BTS). It's why every EP and writers connects their faves via retcon birth or marriage to core families. Mishael's fans know this. Regardless of how ill advised, it doesn't change how the fandom works nor BTS. 

It looks like Chance will be in Abby's orbit right now. On tomorrow's show he does interact with Amanda, but it's about the stuff regarding the will. According to soaps.com day ahead recap on tomorrow's show he will flirt/talk with Abby and ask her out for a drink. She will accept his drink invitation. Maybe something romantic may develop between him and Abby. Some scenes of him interacting tomorrow with Abby:

Fair enough. Maybe that's all that daytime soaps can do nowadays anyway--cater to fanbases because the era of them attracting brand new viewers is long gone.  JMO but I can't help but believe that by failing to craft strong individual characteristics for female characters, will ensure that Y&R continues to lose viewers over time.

so hilarious how they had Addby in a half-hearted interracial pairing (she was more deeply involved with the sex trafficking guy, and even Lauren's son!), only for it to end "amicably" (painting Nate as the bad guy do-gooder, that won't accept Abby for who she and her family are...) to throw her head first into another relationship... with a white "good guy". 🤣

 

these shows are a mess.

chance is for Phyllis

 

 

They'll use every woman and have them fawning over him like they did Blue Eyes McAvoy. He's a carbon copy character after all. Abby is just one of many.

No wonder they've cast this old man.

Seriously, though, he looks old enough to be Tricia Cast's love interest, not her son.

 

Y&R's casting department needs a SERIOUS overhaul.

Yup

New Chance is a dud.

This guy is kinda unprofessional with his behavior.

What do you mean?

He seriously looks (almost) as old as Burgess "Reverend Kane" Jenkins. I don't understand the choice.

He's RT the Y&R account to push his political views. No matter what these vieews are, I think everyone knows to keep politics away from their job.
