Quite frankly, I am relieved the show is going in a different direction. The show already has enough bad morale behind the scenes.

IF the rumors are true, then they do not need Victoria Rowell returning to add to this. I have to believe there is some truth to all these arguments and, I remember when she was on a panel with some of her costars and they were not all that warm and friendly to each other so it makes me believe she was not that liked or that she made it difficult for them. I’ve seen her in person before and she is quite cold.

So many believe that Drucilla is the end-all-be-all for Neil, but I disagree. Okay, she worked for 15 years on Y&R, but Neil and Drucilla are not as iconic as Victor and Nikki and I do not believe it has anything to do with race except that African Americans are not featured on magazine covers like caucasians – that I will give you … and that is unfair.

Kristoff St. John is a VERY charismatic man and they just need to chem-test him with some new blood or someone already on the canvas. Sharon would have been a good match years ago, but they threw her at Brad instead and now she is tied to Adam plus she really needs to be single for about 6 months, at least. What about Phyllis? Michelle Stafford oozes chemistry with ANYONE and everyone. She doesn’t need to go back to Jack. Or they could recast Drucilla if they really wanted to go that way.

I think Victoria Rowell ought to close this chapter on her life and use her many talents for something else. She is a very talented and outspoken woman, but it would be healthier to let this thing go.

All that being said, I am extremely sorry she has had to endure racism. The fact that this disgusting practice continues to this day makes me sick and this is coming from a white woman. I am so sorry for all that African Americans have had done to them in this country. I could not even fathom what it must be like to deal with this on a daily basis. This country makes me ill sometimes.

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!!!

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

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

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

Sharon could use a friend, Lily could use her mother, Neil could have a love life…it would be a great return. But is it just me or does VR always sound angry, bitter, and arrogant in her interviews? Sometimes the way she talks, its like she truly feels and believes that she has been the sole reason for the success of the show. I feel that if she humbled herself a little, and stopped being the bull in the CBS China shop, both parties could successfully negotiate. It sounds like there is a little too much pride and ego happening from both sides, and that is never a good clash.

I think Victoria Rowell is making an ass of herself! Everyone knows she started so much shit when she worked at Y & R, why in the hell would they want her back?!?!

I hope VR can find peace and work elsewhere. This young woman has a huge ax to grind and unfortunately she is only hurting herself. I commend her efforts to bring minority writers, directors and actors to the canvas. Finally they have hired these roles, unfortunately diversity and minorities include not just African Americans but Latinos, Asians ect. Hope she can let it go, after all she chose to be let out of her contract early.

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! 😀

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.

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!

LET IT GO! They call it baggage for a reason, it weighs you down. MOVE ON! Use your talent while you’re still potentially employable elsewhere. I think you’re talented and loved Dru, but your axe is so ground down, it no longer has a point.

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.

There’s many fans that do want her back but CBS and Sony have the last word and that word is “No”!

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.

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 have been watching Y&R since I was 13 …I am 43….lol…..Wow—that is astounding but true…..
On the subject of Drucilla—-She was a great character and I waited for her to come back….especially when they had her fall off that edge and never found her body. I thought FOR SURE they would bring her back. So here is the question—Why in the world would they not have killed her off completely ? Instead… the fans thought that she was coming back because of the way they killed her off….however….eventually I accepted that she was gone forever……She was very good at her part and her clothes were awesome….I now know that she brought her own wardrobe so to that point–she deserves props. On the subject of her being mad at YandR for them not letting her write…..I have to say that the fans are probably somewhat confused on that because in our eyes either one is an actor/actress OR they are a writer. Sum it up as this—-She thought that there were not enough africanamerican writers,directors etc…(which she admitted to saying) so she could not get over that which sucked for Dru fans but a split was inevitable to the highest power……obviously. The new love of Neil’s life is doing an okay job but she is no “Dru” for sure…..lol
