YR: Temp recast

[detroitpiston]

 

I'd be here for this just for the fact we could have 5 black women on the show at once

[dio]

um... why not just bring her on officially as an Amanda recast and have MM return as Hilary? This show desperately needs more melanin, and they can hand-wave the twin/dopplganger thing. LOL 

[edgeofnik]

 

Seriously. I think that would be great. The audience wouldn't care at all. Think about how many doppelgangers/twins has Y&R had over the years - Kay, John, Cassie, Phyllis, Lauren, Cane, Patty - that's 7 just off the top of my head. 

 

Y&R has probably as many doubles as DAYS has had returns from the dead.

I love the posts on this thread suggesting

to hire Karla Mosley as an official Amanda recast,

and have Mishael Morgan play a returned Hillary.

Thank you to all who suggested that, it's a great idea!

 

And I would add, have them both on contract at Y&R.

And then ...
Hire a Black transgender actress as a recast Maya on B&B.

Can you imagine—MM as Hilary, KM as Amanda, and Leigh-Ann Rose as Imani? It would be beyond epic. Classic soap yet groundbreaking. It’s sad that it’s not even remotely a possibility.

 

B&B could probably hire one of the Pose actresses, like MJ Rodriguez.

I don't bother with Y&R now but I am happy for Karla to get a few weeks work - she was a bright spark in GL's last year. She also had a fun web series with Victor St. John after GL ended that I wish had run a little longer. (it was called Wed-locked)

[dio]

the fact that they're not trying to recreate Victoria Rowell's reign by using MM's popularity is absolutely dumbfounding. Instead, they stay using MM as a launching pad for other characters. MM back as Hilary being Drucilla for the 21st century just makes too much sense. 

[janea4old]

Karla Mosley did Wed Locked with

Lawrence Saint-Victor (B&B's Carter).

 

"Victor St. John"?
I assume that was a name mix-up with ...
Trevor St. John (OLTL's Victor Jr.)?

Didn't know where to post this but this seemed like a good place - Karla Mosley is 7 months pregnant.

With deep, humble gratitude I honor all the mothers, aunts and care-giving womxn healers in my life and yours. Yes. We have another addition coming around early July! (Second glamour shot taken by my daughter the other day #ThisIs31Weeks.) And then my own wild, eccentric, big-hearted mama who we traveled this morning to see along with my sister!!!!!!!!!!!! Many emotions brewing, but mostly a deep and quiet gratitude. #HappyMothersDay (1st Photo Credit: @damu_malik_photo) For more of these beautiful photos and the full story of my pregnancy journey, check out @soapdigest NEXT WEEK!

I figured she was pregnant from some of the outfits they had her in as Amanda. A lot of loose stuff which Mishael doesn’t usually wear.

[Liberty City]

 

I could see her as Maya Ward on General Hospital.

Those side by side pix are striking. It's clearly what they should do with the two women, but they hate the idea of having Y&R be a show 'beholden' to its Black audience. They want it to be a 2000s ABC soap even though that paradigm is dead.
