@Michael & @DRW50

It is ironic that after many soaps whitewashed the casting of Latina characters in the 90's (i.e. GH's Felicia - the Aztec Princess, AW's Paulina from San Cristobal, daughter of Maria Hernandez DeSilva , and ATWT - Sierra from Montega, daughter of Jacobo Estaban) - we would agree that soap fans still might be averse to equity in casting, even in a temp role, thirty years later.

But, I am glad you both responded in the spirit it was intended, as an interesting idea

I actually could have seen someone like Gary Tomlin trying the idea.

Stephanie Erb begins airing week of 25 April.

Stephanie Erb instagram post dated 29 March.
The caption was "Owies. Again. #tvhurts "

(This may or may not be for GH. 
NLG's spinal surgery was March 23, so this is probably GH. 
But Ms. Erb could have posted an old photo from some other acting job.)

fyi:  cable guide spoiler for Tuesday 26 April 2022:
"Alexis and Carly find themselves in a dire situation."
