BellaOnline Forums TV and Movies Daytime TV Brad is leaving Genoa City(Don Diamont leaving YR)

Oh my gosh! Is that Eva playing Tyra? Heck, I didn't even notice and I've watch all the Top Model shows! LOL I kept thinking she looked familiar...

Yeah, Jeanne. Remember her on Top Model. She was one of our favorites, especially considering her background. She'll get better hopefully with the acting.

I'm sooo sad everyone, Brad is leaving Genoa City. Noooo!!!! And he was soooo handsome. Hey, as soon as someone knows, keep us up to date what soap he'll be going on when the time comes. Thanks.

Kimmie,

I didn't mean to insult the actress playing Tyra, I meant how she was playing the story line. In real life I think she is a beautiful woman and seems to be a very nice person. I saw her on America's top model, was glad that she won, and I think she is going great in her career.

On rereading, my sentence didn't sound the way I meant it to. I really liked her when she first came on, but since they went to that school then came back, it seems her role changed. It is how she plays the role not the actress herself.

Anyway, hope that helps explain what I meant. I didn't mean to insult the actress herself.

I am really looking forward to how they play out the thread with Neil and his family. I love Nia Peeples and I'm so glad she is a part of the story.

Brad's leaving is so sad. I thought he brought a lot to the table. Seems like they could have found a way to continue his story, especially with Victor and Jack. He could have been a major player too!

I wonder what that will do to Colleen's role in the long run.

At least Brad went out a hero. Makes Victor look kind of small now, since Jack saved his grandson.

I don't care much for Colleen's character anyway. The actress who plays her sister, Abby, isn't a great actress, IMO. Don't care much for her character either.

I would think that Victor and Abby's relationship will be strained, at least for a while. I have a feeling Colleen probably won't be around much after this thread runs its course.

I thought the acting was very good the last few days! When I get tears in my eyes over the story line, someone is doing their job.

Hey Edie, lady we enjoy each other's comments too much ;)for me to have taken that any other way. I didn't even take it negatively, so worries.

I agree with you all about them maybe keeping Brad in it to help with the Jack and Victor storyline but then I thought, what if they are writing this to help play up future scripts with the children? You know, now the children of the ones who are enemies will all have a reason for revenge.

Abby against Victor's kidz, Colleen (if she stays) mourning with her and JT getting back together (I would hate that but you know that's why its called Young and the "REstless") and so forth....

I'm with you Edie on the emotions. I just love rewinding and reliving the acting of it all. Way to go Y&R. Stay tuned, it'll only get better.

It will be interesting to see how Eden and Noah react when they find out Brad died because of their sneaking off and lying. I haven't watched Friday's episode yet. I expect Abby is going to go on a tear against Eden now. she already didn't like her.

Kimmie, good point as far as setting up future relationships among the "children" of the current main characters. The writers have the long view, and everything that has happened with Brad, Victor and Jack is definitely planting bad feelings among the younger generation.

BoomerGal, yes, there is going to be a whole lot of friction going on among that set. Abby is rather a "snip" anyway (I think that was my mother or grandmother's term), so it will be interesting to see her go head-to-head with Eden.

This show keeps our emotions hopping, doesn't it?

I really love the continuity of Y&R. Seems lately they've been showing lots of clips from years past.

I think you're right too that they're setting up feuds for the future among the younger set!
