Vincent was the WORST black villain! He was a walking, wretched stereotype of the tragic mulatto and psycho gay man all rolled into one.
Yes Vincent was the best. I could not wait to tune in day after day to see him he was a hoot! Vincent was no different than any other soap villain who went too far and in fact Passions had many of them. So you are way wrong unless you are going to say that Alistair Crane was some sort of stereotype. And then you are way off because Passions never tried to nothing than what it was.

Vincent was no worse than Alistair Crane or Mitch Lawrence, Todd Manning, Roger Thorpe etc...He just happen to be the first African American of his kind and most fans agree with that. There was nothing too special about his character that differed from any other super soap villain.
