Most Memorable Scenes by Black Actors On Soaps


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I believe that despite prejudices, Black Actors Managed To Leave their Mark On Soaps, And Their contributions should be discussed, as well as some of Their Most Memorable works, Also It's Our "Black Month" Here in Brazil, and I do understand The North American One is On February(?) But I would also enjoy putting together a little compilation of Such Scenes, as a way to Communicate Both Cultures, Just that I believe that it's easier for me to pick up some Brazilian ones than American Soaps and Since I'm quite busy, would love everybody's suggestions 

Also something I Noticed is On Soaps A Black Actress' Age seems kinda irrelevant?? Like Victoria Rowell Being 30 but Being introduced as Teenaged Drucilla, or Debbi Morgan's Angie Getting Pregnant despite her rather Advanced Age or Her being the Recast of Yolanda/Harmony Hamilton despite being 20 years older than the original actress

Oh wow, it’s BHM in Brazil? Happy BHM @Joseph! There is a Black Lives Matter thread in the Off Topic Lounge. Feel free to post any interesting videos or snippets there regarding BHM in Brazil, I would be interested in seeing them. My Portuguese is kind of dire (lol) but I may be able to understand a little.

It's not Exactly BHM We have here it's "Black Conscience Day" that Happens on November 20th, it kinda celebrates the memory of The most Important Black Figures on our country's History, that happens to coincide with My sister's birthday so she says it's her holiday, anyway I'm not sure many people will be celebrating this year as everyone is more preoccupied with the results of our elections

Ah, okay, I see. Still, the thread is there not just for that day but for anytime you want to post any Afro Brazilian cultural points of interest. 
Also, I would love to hear your perspective on the aftermath of elections and how you or people you know are being impacted. There’s the Politics thread too.

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • Downloading isn't working at all.
    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
