Review
Overview:
 * 1 dab link

Lead:
 * "...from the American CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, portrayed by Kristolyn Lloyd. She was introduced by Bradley Bell on October 7, 2010." → "...from the American CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. Portrayed by Kristolyn Lloyd, the character was introduced by Bradley Bell on October 7, 2010."
 * "Originally a recurring role, Lloyd was promoted to a contract role shortly after she started with the series." → Too much use of the word "role". Also, the character was promoted to contract role, not her. She's not a character in the series.
 * "The character was introduced..." → Overusing the word "introduced".
 * Needs a better introduction of how she got in with the Forrest family.
 * Marcus Barber Forrester → Marcus Forrester
 * I'll take a look at this more when the above issues are fixed.

Casting:
 * "...according to Soap Opera Digest." → Not needed. It isn't an opinion piece.
 * This doesn't talk about casting too much. How did she get the role of Dayzee?

Characterization:
 * "Although Stephanie survived, in October 2012 the cancer came back, and she is due to exit the show on November 26, 2012." → It appears we need an update here.
 * Maybe create a separate section for their relationship? A lot of things have gone on with it. There's no mention of Dazyee's. That could be included in there.

Skid Row storyline:
 * This section relies too much on quotes. Try rewriting some in your own words.

Relationships:
 * "Dayzee's first major love interest was..." → No need to say major; there weren't any minor ones before him.
 * "Although she was a poor black girl, he was a rich white man." → This comes off as a bit harsh to me, or am I just being too sensitive?
 * "The relationship is approved by all..." → Change to past tense. I suggest changing this sentence to something along the lines of: "Each member of Thomas' family approved of their relationship, with the exception of his sister, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood)."
 * "The couple split up." → Let's explain why? I mean, why not?
 * "Soon, Dayzee is in love with Marcus Forrester (Texas Battle)..." → Poorly written

Backstory:
 * This section needs some major copyediting.

Verdict

 * It has been 15 days since the review has begun, and none of the issues I have addressed have been adjusted. Unfortunately, I will have to fail this article. I would be more than happy to review the article again at a later date. Cheers and happy holidays!  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 05:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
