Members BoldRestless Posted August 16, 2020 Members Share Posted August 16, 2020 I remember that scene. The crazy thing was Phyllis actually saw them, thought it was Sharon and stomped out. They completely missed the opportunity to have Phyllis go nuts over Nick kissing Christine of all people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Three different white women are sprung for Keith Hamilton Cobb in this 2003 episode! And yet none of them fùcked him AFAIK except maybe Phyllis? Which member of the audience called Homeland Security? I cannot believe they were fobbing Victoria off on Baldwin at this point. She's butcher than he is. David Lago was so cute. Whatever happened to him? And of course Thad was a dream. I remember when he turned up as a gay for pay escort on nip/tuck buck naked not long after this; I almost died. They need to clean JT up a bit more after what they did to him.

Members Soap-princess Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 David was acting in The Bay last I heard. He was hot. They could use his acting talents on the show right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 One of the (few) good things Mal Young did was bring Raul, Brittany, and KK’s Mac back. (Raul was only back briefly.) Of course, it was in service of that character-assassinating JT mess, but they all lit a spark under that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soap-princess Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 I wouldn’t mind if all three came back even though I’ve always been iffy about KK playing Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 The only one that resonates me with is Bashioum, and she's not coming back. If they had a strong known soap actress in the role I suppose you could reconceive the character, but all the post-Bashioum actresses in the role seem weak or bizarre.

Members Faulkner Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 I didn’t enjoy the Mac recasts either, but I saw a lot of growth with KK as an actress with her return, and it made me think of what she could do with a real story. Of course, the bigger issue is whether or not a modern-day Y&R is even capable of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soap-princess Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I’ve never understood why they struggled to recast Mac. Bashioum was my favorite, and I could only dream about her returning. I would actually watch the show again if she did. I assume they would go back KK if they brought the character back. I didn’t mind her in Bac 2.0, but she’s more of a vanity pick based on how the show is branded nowadays. Maybe she would work in the right dynamics.

Members Faulkner Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I think Bashioum was such a singular presence. It’s hard to really capture what she brought to the role. And the character got so watered-down with all the recasts. But I think she’s been off the canvas long enough (aside from the KK short-term return) to reboot the character a bit if they wanted to. We’d probably not enjoy the end result. Edited August 17, 2020 by Faulkner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Bashioum was just real. She was allowed to be moody and snarky like a teenage girl could be, but without being princessy like Brittany or 80s Lauren.

Members Soap-princess Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 I doubt Josh could write for someone like Mac as portrayed by Ashley B the way the show is currently constructed. She’s too normal for the current audience. Not sure who uploaded 3/23/01 in the vault, but it doesn’t have any sound. Not sure if this was intentional or not.

Members BoldRestless Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 It plays with sound for me. Maybe try a different program to open it. VLC player is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Legacy Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yes that was in 2010 which was another random out of know where scene and I a had always hoped that maybe phyllis would found out it was Christine but it was another missed opportunity. Nick/Christine were actually hot together i wonder if this was going to be a storyline! Even though mal had messed up, he did get the Brooks girls along with mac/Raul/britney to appear so i definitely loved that he tried to bring some history back to the show and also he brang back Julia for that one episode.

Members Paul Raven Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 Lorie and Leslie had a couple of scenes and Janice Lynde was hardly given dialogue so Mal was only playing lip service to Y&R history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted August 17, 2020 Members Share Posted August 17, 2020 I looked through the full cast list from my YR 25th Anniversary book published in 1998. Turns out it is NOT a full cast list, because I was hoping to find out who played Charlie, Victor's butler, but he's not listed anywhere. The cast list is fairly thorough but has many chronological mistakes. One example is listing Lynn Wood (Allison) as appearing from 1981-83 when it was 1982-84. What caught my eye the most is that it lists Oscar winner Forest Whitaker as being the first Kong (aka Nathan Hastings) in 1984 before Nathan Purdee. I think this would be late '84... Nov/Dec... Wouldn't that be something if we get a glimpse of Forest as the uploaded '84 clips reach that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
