I agree. As much as I've come to dislike the BTS events at Y&R, I do plan to try to watch these group of episodes (online, later in the days) out of respect for the work that KSJ did.
In interviews, VR said that over the years, KSJ and her both tried to get TPTB to reunite Dru and Neil but were essentially put off and that is a big shame. I even had an idea years ago of how they could bring Dru back but it was obvious Steve Kent et. al had no intention of reuniting one of the show's most popular couples. All such a shame. Oh well, at least we get to see VR participate in honoring her colleague and friend, in some way, it's not ideal but I guess this is all we have now.
