No Debbi, No Darnell Among Increasingly Pointless NAACP Image Award Nods
By Jamey Giddens on January 19, 2012
I've decided to try to be less snarky about The Young and the Restless, and now is as good a time as any to start, I suppose. So kudos to the sudser for dominating the soap categories in nominations for the 43rd Annual NAACP Image Awards. The very fact that a soap opera which recently had a black crackhead calling a white woman "Miss Phyllis" is being celebrated for its positve portrayal of people of color...well, that says more than I ever could, really.
Y&R's Christel Khalil (Lily), Julie Pace Mitchell (Sofia), Tatyana Ali (Roxanne) and Tonya Lee Williams (Olivia) were all nominated for Oustanding Actress in a Daytime Drama Series. They will compete against The Bold and the Beautiful's Yvette Freeman, who recurs as Stephanie Forrester's (Susan Flannery) oncologist.

Harmony Refers to Phyllis as "Miss Phyllis" on Thursday's The Young and the Restless
By Jamey Giddens on January 06, 2012
The New Year always brings with it a crop of fresh resolutions. "I'm going to lose weight." "I'm going to put back for a rainy day." "I'm going to spend more time on charitable causes." "I'm going to stop getting stark, raving mad about soap operas."
Not even a full week into 2012, and I've already broken one resolution by getting so angry at a television show I literally felt my blood boil. The maddening soap in question was CBS Daytime's The Young and the Restless, which on Thursday's air show had Harmony, a black female character played by soap legend Debbi Morgan, refer to her white female boss as "Miss Phyllis."

Seems like The Young and the Restless' Devon (Bryton James) will be reuniting with more family members soon.

Debbi Morgan Dishes What to Expect on The Young and The Restless
By Jillian Bowe on October 03, 2011
All My Children veteran Debbi Morgan is free at last— to talk about her role on The Young and the Restless that is! Morgan gives the skinny to TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan on what Harmony aka Yolanda will be up to in Genoa City.
TV Guide Magazine: What brings her back to Genoa City?
Morgan: She has no idea what's been happening with Devon — that his father, Tucker [Stephen Nichols], is the son of Katherine Chancellor [Jeanne Cooper]. In fact, that's still a big secret in Genoa City until Phyllis [Michelle Stafford] puts the story on the Internet. Harmony sees the news on a customer's laptop while working at the diner and makes a beeline to Genoa City to reconnect with Devon. Needless to say, she doesn't get a warm reception. Devon's furious that she abandoned him and doesn't want anything to do with her.
