For a white character, being paired with a black character is almost always a temporary detour until TPTB can find a suitable white partner for them. The black partner is a placeholder. You can tell TPTB don’t value a white character when a black partner is their endgame. Sad but true. I’d just prefer B&B invest more in a black male character than just plowing Steffy for a few months before being dispatched for Liam or $Bill.

I'd settle for a steamy May - December romance with an equally important to the canvas black character but we can't even get that because not one black character on Daytime as of June 19, 2020 is important to any canvas of the 4 shows remaining.  Neil, a legacy character, could hardly touch Victoria on YR when they were involved.  In the history of soaps, we could probably name, on one hand, black characters that were important to the canvas.  Jessie, Angie, Dru, Carla...  Anyone want to add and by add, really think about how important the character really was?
