I think it’s a HUGE mistake!!! Victoria Rowell is one of the best in daytime and she made Dru so interesting and a spicy character. It is a pity they don t bring her back…Y&R needs strong female characters like Dru!!!

YAWN!

She is always on a soapbox, no pun intended. While I think she is a talent and I dont think anyone else could ever play Drucilla, its done…move on.

I LOVED Victoria Rowell as Drucilla everyday i think about it hoping she returns!!!!

I love Drucilla this show needs her back! She is the best character I love Victoria Rowell

The ratings would sky rocket with Drucillas return so said this show will not do what the fans want!

WE NEED DRUCILLA BACK NOT ONLY FOR NEIL BUT SHARONS BFF! WHAT CAN WE DO TO CHANGE THIS!!! We LOVE her! 🙂

I am pissed I really thought Dru was coming back I almost want to ban the show. I love Sharon and Adam and Sharon are the only reason I still watch! Please bring Victoria R back ASAP! <3

This is such BULL! I want Drucilla back! Michael they need to see the fans want her and demand her back!

Sucks, cause Y&R could use some spicing up on the show these days. And Drucilla would definitely do that! Can Phyllis please take a back seat, be on the back burner for a while and let Dru take that spot?

Drucilla is a staple character and a must need I am not interested in what she did or said she is a fantastic actress!…:)

Les Moonves Totally Blows To Moi! 🙁

Victoria Rowell Gave Her All To 3 CBS shows–Y&R, Diagnosis Murder, & A Brief Stay As Nella Franklin On As The World Turns In The Middle 1980s! 😀

Thank God she is not returning. I enjoyed her acting until the last 2 yrs of YR she was so over the top it was painful. We also do not need somebody coming back from death. I hope YR improves gets some great storylines not ghosts from the past.

I liked Rowell and Drucilla but I am completely worn out by her continued rantings about this topic. The show has moved on from her and she needs to focus her attention on her future and not her past.

For several years, she has rehashed these same points ad nauseum. If she is difficult and doesnt’ get along with many of the actors, the show is wise to completely dismiss the chance for Rowell to return. On the other hand, if Rowell is dead on accurate about what she is saying and the place was that lousy to work for, why does she seem to pining away to return??

Rowell needs to ditch all of this and do something else. These tweets from her every few months about the possibility of her returning are getting old. She is not coming back. If Drucilla ever returns to the show, I’d bet $$$$ that it will be a completely different actress in the role.

Probably for the best……

Honestly, I’m not upset by this. Too much time has gone by and Dru isn’t needed on the scene. Victoria, while I love her, can be a bit of a Brenda Dickinson. Overly dramatic about things and events. I think it’s time if VR wants to return to daytime to find a new soap home!

I liked her on DM, but I think she brings too much drama with her. That said, I totally agree with her for standing up for what’s right. I too have tried to do it where I work and it’s not met with any welcome.

I know absolutely nothing about the entertainment industry, but it seems to me all these diva rants aren’t going to bode well with network execs. Sorry I’m in the minority here; I never liked the character anyway. I always liked Neil with Olivia. They’re both classy and I was sick of Olivia wasting her time being Dru’s babysitter.

Bad form. You don’t bad mouth an employer in public. Though it didn’t seem to hurt Charlie Sheen.

She has been calling out her employers and fellow actors si
nce she left by own choosing, years ago, if she was so adamant why didnt she stay and fight her fight.? If i difch complaining as she did at my minimum wage job i would be out so fast. She screwed up she lost a good thing .She is and was arrogant.

I feel sorry for Victoria Rowell she has to understand that white people don’t care if black people are treated fairly. Y&R is a white show period they really dont want black on they show;I just wish Afrian Americans would stop supporting Racist White People.Not one black person should watch Y&R boycott CBS.

I think dru should be brought back to the young and restless. victoria rowell would bring some life back to the show. now that Neal is getting interested in other women they need to bring her back. I think it would really stir things up.

I think what the show executives and Victoria need to do is to put everything in the past back there in the past and go on. Many people have requested to bring Dru back with Victoria playing her. So Mr. Griffith needs to bring her back. In present times the execs need to pay attention to what the fans say, otherwise the show will go down. We all don’t want to see that happen, do we?! So BRING BACK DRU! The plot could be that Neil or Lily go on a business trip and they happen to run into Dru, but she doesn’t remember who he or she is. They take it from there where she eventually gets her memory back a little bit at a time.

While I am a fan of Y & R, I respect the decision of anyone that determine that this is not the best for them. Victoria R. is a beautiful person, her career seems to speak very loudly to her what she values most. Peace of mind.

I am an African-American woman who has watched, off and on, since the days when David Hasselhoff was “Snapper”. Victoria Rowell is quite correct when she says that 50% of Y&R is African-American. It just might be 50% +. A stylist who used to do my hair would book me sometimes, so we could watch the show together. Hair salons all along and across this country turn to Y & R, religiously. I’m surprised and hurt to know what the attitudes of CBS are. My favorite network; home of Walter Cronkite, and Dan Rather, Ed Bradley and many others, is still perpetuating bias in the work-place. What difference does it make what color a person is, who is writing a story ? When Victoria started in her role as Drucilla, and the day that Neil followed her, as she left Aunt Mamie. Neil found out that she was a dancer. When the camera cut over to her dancing and her reflection shown in the mirror, it was like magic ! It was a beautiful scene, shot beautifully, and it emanated the right amount of pathos, as it pulled the audience into who this girl was. Victoria is Drucilla. The Bells saw quickly how the woman soaked up the persona of Drucilla like a sponge. I hope you know that the majority community will not keep you afloat. I never thought I’d hear them say goodbye to shows like “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” but they’re gone. The reasons why the majority communities will not hold you up is because most of the women, who were normally at home in the old days, are now earning money; and even the “taping to catch-up on weekends” is cumbersome. Few have the time or the inclination, with all of the other things pressing on what little time they have. I”m very disappointed. When my daughter was 12 yrs.old, CBS sent a crew to my daughter’s school and she was picked to be interviewed about inner-city educational standards and whatever else. Richard Threlkeld was doing the story. He and the guys came to our house and talked with me and my daughter, Kelli. Even though, I did television myself, locally for public service, I was as nervous as anybody would be. I wasn’t nervous about Kelli, she’s a very brilliant young woman; but Richard and the crew treated me, as if they’d worked with me ! I know he hasn’t been around for many years, but the way the piece was done and the kin-ship they showed me, was something I thought it was particular to “my network;” the station that I got MY news from. I thought they represented CBS and what it stood for. Please stop this stubborn I-will-wipe-you-out-attitude. It’s not helping the show. It’s not helping the fans and eventually if the word gets around people might turn away from “the stories” and look at Court TV., or anything. I, too, will spread the word; I’m no longer… Read more »

I don’t have twitter but I googled to see what happened to Victoria. That is the way I found out about everything and I have to say that she probably could have been a bit more mature. I mean did she have to basically call CBS and Y&R racists? That is ridiculous……! Obviously she was miffed about them not letting her write so that’s it……but Y&R should have DEF killed her off better bc the fans kept hoping that she lived thru the fall……

I met her once….in a Home Depot, of all places. We talked for a few minutes about “Dru”. I found her to be very friendly and gracious. She seemed to glow when she talked about the iconic character she played. She seemed so proud of her work. I hope one day it works out that she will come back and we will get to see more of Dru’s attitude and antics.

Would really like to see her come back to the show , i’m sure i’m not the only one .

I miss B&B (awful scripting) and Y&R (explanation follows) they are like old friends that start behave strangely, you miss them and would take them back if only they would start acting like their old selves again. I don’t know, I’m sure I have the order wrong, because it’s all just a messy blur of memories now. William Bell left, Dru left, John left, brad left, then these minor characters kept coming and going. Sometimes the plot would almost get good then suddenly change or someone would leave, die or be replaced. I think the whole time just hang in until victoria rowell comes back, she’ll bring back some of that old black magic, then I realize she’s not coming back and I give up. That was years ago.

Sidenote: I mourn “As The Word Turns”. My old friend that died, it was a faithful friend. Why did these two wierd friends live and ATWT die, Why?!!

Hi I would like it very much if they would bring back VR as Drucilla I really like the way she played her character I watch Y&R everyday until they took her off the show now I don’t watch it. So please bring her back we beg you too.

You put TOO much time and energy in trying to be the next Rosa Parks, Y& R had black,white yellow and green audience with the original writers… QUIT BEING A FOOL! YOU HAD LOYAL FANS!! YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON THEM… THEY SHIULDNT FOLLOW YOU TO CRAP!! Next you’ll say its all racial… Honey Hollywood is ALL Jewish!!! GROW UP OR GET OUT!! ACTORS ARE A DIME A DOZEN…

Victoria. You are an amazing actress and I would love to see you back a at the Y and R. Get over the racial thing! Look at the cast. Racial? No, the cast is so representative. Get off your soapbox and embrace what Y and R offers

If the writers and main people who direct the show did not intend to bring back Dru, why did they not have a stranger or police find her body eventually to prove that she is dead and there’s no way for her to return? The show just decided to keep it a mystery for no reason? Do they not know that the long-time running characters are what makes the show a classic?
Just do everybody a big favour and bring back Dru. The new girl that’s with Neil now is just not his match at all.

Dru was hilarious on the show, great actress, I miss her, we want her back. Dru please come back your fans need to see you on y&r

I will probably stop watching it if Dru Winters doesn’t return. The storylines are getting to be boring. There will never be excitement like it was when she was on there
