Hillarys parents or Neil’s

Lucinda could be Neil’s mother who had left her family when he was a child? She is coming to make amends?
Ellis could be her long lost husband and also, Neil’s father. That would be some twist.
Their age sort of puts a wrench in my theory, though. How old is Neil supposed to be?
Or….Ellis could be Hilary’s father. The age would make more sense.

i understand these are roles in the senior age group….
but what about past african american favorites?
where s olivia been?…. neil could use an old friend
tyler… lily s old flame?.. who i prefer her with than that dud cane
leslie? genoa s other attorney and old flame of neils?, and leslies doc husband?… i could see a triangle with liv/neil/ leslie/ her husband
y n r has a rich past of african american characters…. i miss them and would love them to pop up at least

What’s with the name Lucinda? As if Luca isn’t enough. This is what I have a problem with lately. Their creativity in naming a new character is considerably lacking. It’s like Mariah and Marissa. Those two names have too much of a resemblance.

And why new characters. We had Marissa come and go. Then Luca and Natalie. Now Bethany and Dr. Gates with more to follow. Really, I’m not getting the big deal out of this. And I’m still ticked off about letting go Sage.

Jonelle Allen would be perfect, as would Leslie Uggams. For the male part, I suggest George Standord Brown, Richard Roundtree, or Clarence Williams III.

The best are on B & B.

If its Neil’s parents, cool, I like him and it should be good drama. Hopefully Mal will fix other problems and rebuild the Chancelor and Williams families!

What does it matter. They wont keep them if we like them anyways. We lost too many actors that the fans grew fond of (Sage, Mark Harding, Gwen, and now Dr. Neville etc.)

For the life of me I can’t recall anything about Neil’s family other than Malcolm was his half brother. Did they ever mentioned his mother or father ever? One would think all these years Neil’s been a character, with the birth of his children, a grandparent would have shown up at some point. So if these characters are Neil’s parents it about frigging time Y&R–

I have to think this is Neil’s parents and that makes me happy. Isn’t Neil’s middle name Ellis? I think the Winters desperately need a new direction and purpose in story. This could be good. I’m not sure who to suggest in the roles but hope they can strike gold like B&B did!

THATS JUST WHAT THIS SHOW DOES NOT NEED…MORE NEWCOMERS…USE THE GIFTED ACTORS YOU HAVE AND IMPROVE THE STORY LINES. AND …KEEP THE GOOD ONES YOU LET GO…

If it’s for dramatic roles, Cicely Tyson or Debbi Morgan, and Laurence Fishbourne.

Comedic roles– Eddie Murphy and WHoopie Goldberg.

Is Danny Glover doing anything these days? Or Alfre Woodard?

As a longtime fan of the show, I don’t recall anything about Neil’s family other than Malcom. I think I remember him saying once to Lily in conversation, that he had a strained relationship with his parents, so maybe they are going to bring on Neil’s parents. I had forgotten what happened to Hilary’s father but if I recall correctly, Neil had met Hilary’s mother in a bar during one of his many falls off the wagon. They proceeded to get drunk at a bar together, continued their little party in a cheap motel, Neil went out to get reinforcements, and when he came back, Hilary’s mother was dead. He thought he did it himself in his drunken state, but he didn’t. I’m pretty sure if I remember correctly, het death was obviously alcohol related.

Neil’s parents????

Danny Glover, John Amos, Roger Mosely

Amelia Marshall, JaNet Dubois, Daphne Reid, and Beverly Johnson!

QUESTION: WHEN DOES THE NEW WRITING APPEAR FOR VIEWERS?

Regarding the question at hand: it appears the storyline has already been written. Two senior African-Americans trying to come to peace with their past. This sounds like a pass through story. Too many too fast.

If money were no object, what about a new African-American couple buying a house down the street from Jack’s. Retired, wealthy, into giving to help others who fought their way up the staircase regardless of background. Put them on top as a new solid family in Genoa City. Draft from there. What has been done to Neil’s family has so diminished the value of their presence. Perhaps this new story will reconstitute them.

Why don’t you ask people what they see today on the screen that they do like? Right now I am fatigued by much. The simplicity Mariah and Kevin is interesting. Wish Paul had been made into a good detective in his own right; Paul is a favorite for old times sake. s Breaks my heart to see Dr. Neville leave. He captured my interest. If Adam is lost, it will be a loss. He has recreated that role, or perhaps the writers did a good thing, as a good but also a little bit of a bad boy.

Just a lazy summer night around here. Haven’t watched today. Best to everyone!

What about Pam Grier as Lucinda??

The first two hirings of the Mal Young era, at least he is bringing on some diversity. I do also think they are probably Neil’s parents.

What about Lynne Moody or Lynn Whitfield?
