Let me find out I'm over here about to throw a certified bitch-fit something proper-like! The
Young & the Restless have cast actor Darius McCrary as the new 'Malcolm Winters'! To this, I say, 'NO SIR!' I don't mean to sound mean (okay, maybe just a little bit) but don't nobody want to see Darius with his shirt off! Or to hear his annoying ass voice! Do yall know how many actors out there could have taken over this role and did it some justice? Hell, just take a look at some of the
B.C.M.'s posted on the first page of this blog.
I can definitely see actor Timon Kyle Durrett in this role. Although Timon doesn't have an expansive resume like Darius, he's still well-seasoned enough to pick up where Shemar left off. If you saw his performance in Tyler Perry's screen play
The Marriage Counselor, you'd know what I'm talking about. But I digress. What's ironic is I knew that there had been a casting call to find another Malcolm Winters, so yesterday I was going to make a post about my wanting Shemar Moore to return to Y&R to reprise his role as the original Malcolm Winters. The reason why I didn't publish the post is because there had been no comment made from Shemar as to rather or not he would even consider taking over the role again.
Enough of my bitching and moaning. Let me get down to the specifics.
According to
Entertainment Weekly, Darius--who we all know played Eddie Winslow on
Family Matters and later became the laughing stock of the urban blogosphere when he hooked up with
Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans--has signed a multi-year deal to assume the role beginning Nov. 18. His debut will air on Dec. 29.
“We are thrilled to have the character of Malcolm back on Y&R. Malcolm, Neil Winters’ brother, has always been a catalyst to exciting stories. He’s coming back to town to see his brother and to reunite with his biological daughter, Lily Winters, as she fights for her life. Malcolm is a photographer … someone who lives on the edge and who always pushes the envelope,” according to a statement from Maria Bell, Y&R's co-executive producer/head writer.
Though he left the sudser in 2005 to co-star in Criminal Minds, Moore once entertained the thought of briefly returning to the show that made him a star. His reps could not be reached for comment, but it seems obvious that Moore’s busy schedule (Minds is about to air its 100th episode) – combined with the fact that Bell wanted the Malcolm character back full-time - made it impossible for Moore to return (one insider even said that Moore has been approached before about coming back to the show but it was clear that it wouldn’t work out because of his commitment to Minds).
After reading EW's article while in my right mind--because I spazzed out when I heard about Darius becoming Malcolm--I, now I realize that there was no way Shemar could have returned to the show while still under contract with
Criminal Minds. However, it still does not mean that I am not still pissed off to the highest level of pisstivity about Darius getting this role over.... I can't even finish my sentence. I mean really! What do yall see when yall think of Malcolm Winters? No need to answer. I already know.
But in all fairness though, I want to wish Darius much luck in his new role. I'll be the first to tell you that it's going to take me (and others, I'm sure) some time to get use to the new Malcolm Winters. Don't fuck it up because I will blog about it! LOL! Seriously, I will. Nevertheless, you have my support. I guess...
Yeah, my psyche is all messed up right about now.
