ALL: POC Characters That Were A Part of Main Families


Recommended Posts

Loved Justus. He was so unapologetically prideful and political and smart and unwilling to bow or defer to Tracy or anybody. He had such a modern-day Sidney Poitier vibe. He absolutely should have gone to war with Ned/Tracy for his rightful place in the Quartermaine family. I will never forgive GH for destroying him. But again, the Quartermaines themselves were greatly diminished post-Labine.

Can’t say it enough, but f*ck cancer. Losing RC and Madge Sinclair within months to that dreaded disease...

The bold.

 

I know seeing him as a kid...he was so different from most black men (outside of Neil on Y&R) I saw on soaps. So I liked. And the fact that it drove Tracy so crazy there was a branch on the family tree that was...was...not the butler.

I am playing slow catchup on GH, but from reading synopsis I want to say that maybe she appeared near the start of the year.

 

However, the actress herself tested positive for Co-Vid so I don't how things stand with the character now.

Yeah she popped up again just last week (Monday 31st) to ask Carly questions about what happened with Nelle (and yes, their cousin connection was acknowledged) and to give Michael an update on the search; in the following episode (Tuesday 1st) Valerie questioned Alexis about Neil's death and gave her condolences.

 

Actually I read the hospital she went to would not test her for COVID, even though the symptoms were pretty much consistent with COVID and the doctors had ruled out everything else.

 

Since everything else had come up negative though, the doctor told her that they couldn't confirm that she'd had it but she should act accordingly.

 

This was back in March and she has returned to GH so hopefully that means she has made a full recovery (that is without long term symptoms).

That's a special case. I would say he doesn't technically count because he's the very rare case, probably only, of a character losing part of their whiteness. It also raises the question of Paul Mendez, assumed father of Brandon and father to Nicole and Taylor Walker, being/not being a POC. Looking up the surname, it seems to have a Spanish origin which people here have discussed still being Caucasian in another thread.

 

I thank everyone for their responses. I've added a tentative list to the first post of this thread. Not only have I added all the characters mentioned here, but have also added a few I've remembered on my own. I've also added Brandon Walker anyway just because he is such a rare case.

    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
