DAYS Lamon Archey On Jackée Harry & Precious Way Arrivals: “Not Only Racially & Culturally Needed But They Bring So Much Character & Larger Than Life Personalities to the Show”

Days should have thought about diversity and inclusion when they let the actors that play the gay couple Will and Sonny go.
Yes, of course, turn a racial conversation into a LGBTQ+ one, and I state this as a gay man myself. Two completely different situations.
There is black representation on Days; diversity and inclusion isn’t just about race. I say that as a black woman.
Diversity includes more than black characters. Where are the Jewish or Asian characters? We had Haley;we still have Melinda. That’s it. Two Latin people. No Jewish characters. Diversity to Lamon Archy and TV & film execs primarily means more black people.
Don’t fret. Will and Sonny and teen aged Ari will be back and coming soon!!
Let’s hope not. It’s bad enough we have 28 year old Claire, when her mother, Belle wasn’t even born until 1994! Will, Sonny, and Gabi, barely appear to be out of their teens themselves. They would look ridiculous with a SORASed teenager.
Almost as ridiculous as Will actually being older than his stepdad, EJ. But you aren’t supposed to remember that, of course!
So yeah, Will & Sonny should be back. But leave Ari as a little kid.
It doesn’t matter. I stopped watching the show when Sarah left. My two favorite couples are Sarah and Xander and Ciara and Ben. To lose one couple is bad enough but what are the odds of losing both the same time. So that made me stop watching and I watched over 40 years
Looking forward to seeing Jackee.
Just great another larger than life character; as if Days doesn’t have enough of those. How about actors that can act and do quality drama?? This show has lost it’s way. I’ll take the minority characters on Y/R and GH any day of the week over with RC is giving fans. Those writers are writing quality drama and these actors bring it every chance given. The last time I saw they are still called “daytime drama” for a reason.
It seems the only diversity producers are interested in are black characters. They keep adding more & more, letting vets go & ignore other ethnicities. It’s a trend that’s front & center which bugs the crap out of me. To top it off, Days seems to think it’s important to incorporate race issues and discussions into the stories. Not what I watch soaps for, but it’s an obvious grab at new demographics to boost ratings.
