Y'all didn't hear it from me (you did!), but expect more white folks to be cast on the show. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but just giving a heads up as I know people will complain and think it's whitewashing what's already been established as a predominantly Black cast show.

Is "Sam Whitmore" from GENERATIONS her niece? Nah, just playin'

Better yet, could she be Vanessa's mother?

Taking a guess that it has something to do with the illegal plasma ring that Jacob is investigating.

Amazing, this show is really going to go a full year (at least) without telling a story about 2 Black contract characters meeting & falling in love. Even Passions & Sunset Beach managed this! B&B did it this year! Utter madness!

Calling Jacob Young and Chandler Massey.

Wishful thinking I know.

I get having more diversity, but why not have more Asian representation beyond just Caroline?

This show is really risking alienating the very viewers that MVJ claimed to be courting, having stated that daytime has traditionally neglected. I understand that they are trying to placate the new bosses at Paramount/Skydance but the onscreen shifts are very very noticeable and I hope this doesn't portend the beginning of taking Black viewers for granted, some are new to daytime soaps and of those, a number have already dropped off since the debut and others are barely hanging on.

Yeah she definitely sounds like she's basically a short term character. Let's see if this actually leads to anything.

I know Chandler's got a restraining order. Anyway, this character is going to be on for only 20 episodes and it would take a lot more than that to whitewash the show.

I see a largely positive shift in the show, but so far none of it has been towards centering a bunch of white characters IMO. Anyway, it's a short term role.

I agree. Huge positive shift in the show... Especially in terms of writing. I've been hooked since sometime last October.
