Topic: I could do without Ana!

Additional Comments: I just hate the portrayal of Ana!  She's portrayed in some cases as this little girl who's sent off to the kitchen for something to eat but then in other cases is portrayed as this wise person.  She's just too "saintly" for my tastes.  I much prefer a character like Eden who has both her good and bad points.

PLEASE - Send the Kid and her mom back to where ever!!  There is no need for them on the show.  Are they related to some executive or writer , or what?  OUT!!  I am getting so I see black spots in my eyes when I watch the show.

I'll take Eden ANYDAY over Ana.  Eden's a brat, but at least she gets yelled at (by Michael) and put in her place.  When does anyone over at the Winter's place do anything other than GUSH over the singing wonder??  Occasionally, Tyra will send her off to her room or something, but other than that, she's the center of attention whenever she enters the room.  Everyone mentions what an AMAZING kid she is, enough already.  The way she carried on for days with that scowl after she found out Tyra was her mother and treated her so badly irritated me to no end.

I think we could all do without Ana. I've yet to read anything supportive of this character, anywhere. I have no idea why the show wanted her back.

Not only that but she drowned out Devon's voice when they sang "Amazing Grace". Send Tyrant and her bratty daughter to the nearest Greyhound bus station with a one way ticket to Seattle never to be heard from or seen EVER again!!! Sorry, I know that was mean, but come on...there's no need for either one of them!

I hate how she mugs for the camera like a 4 year old. As soon as the camera moves to focus on her, she puts on a fleeting intense but fake smile reminiscent of Mila Mulroney's, then takes a gulp of air and reads her lines.

    Why not fill their quota with an interesting character? The kid does have a pretty voice but the acting leaves a bit to be desired. Her storyline is also boring. They need some new writers. I always loved Neil and Dru, they have to bring her back, Neil has been pretty boring since she's fell over the cliff!

    I get the feeling like she's useless. She's just there to fill a certain 'quota' or to satisfy a certain group of people. She's not integral to any story. The little 'run away' story was obviously contrived to give an illusion that someone cares, so in turn Neil suddenly NEEDS a family so badly, which also comes off as contrived.

    Really think there is more they can do with the Winter's family then to just simply bring in more black folx.

    BTW I'm black, for those of you who like to jump to conclusions.

  • Mark, you hit the nail on the head!
  • I don't care if folks are black, white, purple or polka dotted, there must be a need for their character and there is none for Ana and Tyra. Neil has his woman so why are they here?
  • They are here so Neil can have a little triangle: he's torn between Karen and Tyra, who represents a nice little built in family with Ana. Still boring though. -eom
  • I've always thought that she is related to somebody who has influence on the show and therefore Y&R has agreed to keep her around. Lizz
  • Since you brought it up, why are the doctors always black?Silly!
  • And almost all detectives are black too. They must be more intelligent than the others. :-) - Marilou
