Members Vee Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 I struggled to name some of the people in that photo. They brought back MM for optics, not just in the photo but to the show. But they didn't want her commanding a lion's share of the show again the way Hillary threatened to - they cannot allow black characters to do that again the way they used to do - so they made her a boring twin instead of Hillary and ran out the thread. And when she leaves they get to throw up their hands and say 'she's furthering her career, we wish her the best'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Well in this specific instance they have her in this photo knowing full well that she was leaving right after the photoshoot. They just needed their black, best actress winner in the 50th anniversary photo despite not being on the show in nearly 6 (?) months by the time the anniversary rolls around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 Oh, I 100% agree. I'm just commenting on the larger issue. ITA that putting Mishael in the shoot when she's gone is blatant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 At least they stayed consistent in using her! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted January 31, 2023 Members Share Posted January 31, 2023 While I agree that YR misused and mistreated Mishael Morgan to the max, I don't think it's a big deal that she's in this 50th photo. I doubt very much that they forced her to be there for the photo shoot. She could have declined. It's not like they'd sue her for not showing up. MM is still a part of YR's history, and years from now, it'll be a good thing that she was in this photo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
