Could they have found any actor in the world that fits the part of Malcolm
less? I think Justin on B&B would have made a great Malcolm, in fact they
should have brought him to B&B as Malcolm Winters, photographer
extraordinaire for Spencer Publications, and sent him back and forth between
the shows. Who picks these actors for parts, do they even consider the
previous character when casting? :-)

I wasn't watching when the character was there before but there is no way
that guy could be Lily's dad. I am sure he is a fine actor but he took the
wrong kid home from the hospital.

For the most part, I am not a fan of recasts. Shemar was too shuck and
jive and it wore thin quickly. Mac, UGH. I don't see a need for Malcolm
to come back.

This Malcolm looks like a light heavyweight amateur boxer.

From what i've seen of NuMalcolm i do not care for him. This is just
at first glance. Shemar was so much Malcolm. this new guy just does
not seem right.

I think this is the worst re cast ever. He is just the right type.
They could have found a dark Latin guy to play Mal. I think this guy
is Devon's friend and this is how he got the job. And did anyone see
the preview with his hair standing tall like a chicken? And when I
look at him, I can only think of his real wife and GERMs. He is just a
big old germ. And if you guys don;t know what I men, look up his wife.
She is called Superhead and she is scandulous - Karrine Steffans. Oh
and this guy makes no bones about the fact that he is saved and very
religious. Karrine was with Bill Maher for years and he would not
marry her.

Happy New Year to you, Cheri! I agree with you, Shemar Moore's
Malcolm had charisma and he was easy on the eyes. Maybe they cast
this guy because they know it's only temporary. Like my hatred of
GR's Kevin, I'm probably the only one who still likes Sheila and I am
intrigued that Sheila could be the mother of Ryan's friend or whatever
her relationship is to him. I still like Sheila and would love to see
her return to Y&R.

I'm a Sheila Carter fan too. Or, rather, a Kimberlin Brown fan.

I'll scream if they bring the character back looking like Phyllis or -
as rumored - Cricket. I mean, how many people in one small city can
have plastic surgery to make them look exactly like somebody else? The
Patty/Dr.P characters are enough for now in that department.

I knew Malcolm was returning, but my first reaction was, "Huh. This
must be Malcolm's bodyguard." Gotta be one of the worst recasts in
years.

Now Remy may have worked. Anyone could have been better than this guy.
I blame Devon. His hand is in this.

He more like someone the bodyguard would shield Malcolm from. Today,
he was so thug-like...with that chain hanging from his pocket. Who
dresses like that besides a teenager or wanna-be-rapper?

Maybe they're trying to turn the character around but it looks like
they've just turned the clock back. Malcolm was thug-like when he
first started on the show, IIRC.

I'm probably the only one here who feels this way but I am *SO* willing to
give this guy a chance because he doesn't do the jive talk that old Mal did.
Old Mal was a looker but as soon as he opened his mouth on Y&R, I was done.
I couldn't even considering watching his latest prime time for fear of the
old jive talk. Complete turnoff for me.
