Members Paul Raven Posted March 26, 2021 Members Share Posted March 26, 2021 Has Lola been involved with Rey's hospitalization? A perfect opportunity for Paul to be included. Why are TPTB so against Doug Davidson? Esther gets to appear every so often but Paul seems off limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Broderick Posted March 26, 2021 Members Share Posted March 26, 2021 I guess Kate Linder is still on some sort of contract that guarantees her some (very small) number of appearances per year. Doug Davidson, on the other hand, is probably seen as an unnecessary expense, as he has to be paid per appearance. He whines about it daily on twitter, lol.

Members Forever8 Posted March 26, 2021 Members Share Posted March 26, 2021 When Paul was on I wanted him to have a few scenes with Nate since he and his father Nathan were best friends and worked together as Private Investigators back in the day too. He could've be an unlikely ally of Nate when the whole Elena/Devon/Nate triangle first occurred. Also recalling how his father's affair with Keesha Monroe had affected everyone in his circle including Nate himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted March 26, 2021 Members Share Posted March 26, 2021 I actually never minded that at all as I prefer it a lot to the Stafford-Braeden school of mangling-mumbling the lines. I might actually be tempted to actually celebrate the over-enunciation if he is, as I hope and suspect, leaning into it in order to emphasize the yin-yang aspect of Victor-Jack and, maybe, troll Braeden's infamous garbled delivery of his lines I am probably projecting too much into it but I like that interpretation of that acting choice.

Members lucaslesann23 Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 I hope we get to see amandas grandfathers murder trial. Wonder if they cast anyone as him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I can't imagine it getting this far. The show thus far have kept Amanda's family minimal. But Keith David's Sutton Ames versus Victor Newman might be a rivalry worth watching. Edited March 27, 2021 by ajsp35801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 Keith David would be excellent. This show feels so cheap. It really is the most budget-looking (and feeling) of the surviving soaps right now. So weird to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 I see social media getting all palpitated over the show. It still feels Griffith is just pulling stuff out of his you know what. LOL. It would be nice to see the show turn a corner and become interesting.

Members Forever8 Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 Keith David would be a huge-get for this show. With this expansion of Television City hopefully we'll get better sets again. Though I wouldn't hold my breath. It's sad that YR has the worst sets out of the four remaining soaps. If you would've told me that five years ago I would've laughed. I take it Amanda/Hilary's bio family our supposed to be a mix of the Kennedy's, Obama's, and the Harrison's from Another World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 Of course. Let's introduce more mega wealthy characters who conduct business in empty hotel lobbies and front doorsteps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 I guess it could be worse. It could be the last few years of Guiding Light where wealthy characters were hanging out in gas stations and renovating houses in rural Springfield.

Members ajsp35801 Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 if this show gives me Black wealthy powerful family that they write for as center and leading story on par with what they give Newmans, which ain't much these days but more than everybody else, I wouldn't care if they did business on a picnic blanket in chancellor park. Because as a long time viewer, it's something I've longed for yet NEVER had. Give it to me before the show goes dark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 If they got Keith David, I would start watching this show again. Don't kill him off though. He can go on extended business trips or travels when the actor is otherwise engaged in other projects but I will be furious if they decide to kill off the character. Although realistically, I am not sure they can afford David. He does a lot of voicework, in addition to a screen and stage career, so I am not sure about his availability and I don't think he is hurting for money (but the money issue is just my guess).

Members Faulkner Posted March 27, 2021 Members Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Hell, they could get Obba Babatundé from B&B. Although he doesn’t have that Joe Morton/Keith David don’t-eff-with-me money/power feeling. (He does a decent job of it on Dear White People, though.)
