YR: Family Matters actress joins the show

Telma Hopkins!!!

How many Family Matters actors have come through Y&R? Bryton, Michelle Thomas (R.I.P.), Darius McCrary, now Telma… anyone I’m forgetting?

[Forever8]

People on Twitter including myself think Telma Hopkins should've been YoHarmony aka Yolanda. But as I tweeted out Y&R is going to Y&R. I'm glad Telma stays busy with guest-starring on other shows because sadly they're going to waste her in this thankless role.

I remember when Kristoff guested on Family Matters

Any way you slice it, that second iteration of Yolanda Hamilton (as some rock and roll roadie/groupie) was just not well-written. At all. It would've been deeply disappointing no matter who they casted in the role.

Nevertheless, I hope Telma Hopkins has a good, safe time on set-she wants to work and this is a job. So there's that, I guess.

Aww, Aunt Rachel and Little Richie together again.

When I had first saw this I had a flashback to the days of us joking about MAB’s stunt castings lol.

 

That said, she looks really good! 

[reallyhateskateonlost]

I wonder if Devon will hire her to sing Tie a Yellow Ribbon....lol

[Forever8]

I thought about MAB yesterday when I saw this too.

Aww, now that is a cute juxtaposition.

 

 

 

 

Just please, nobody invite Tony Orlando.

[Forever8]

If MAB was still there she would have them all perform at that tacky hotel or restaurant.

This is a cute reunion! Telma has not aged a single day since Family Matters.
