Yep. That's how I feel. If they want to bring in another African American actress then find. But it doesn't have to be a replacement for Dru. I wonder how they'll write her off though???

I'm sure she'll be heading over to Europe or something like that to work the Newman office, which would put strain on her marriage and they will eventually divorce again and in the end the Carmen story was never needed! blah.

Dominique Jennings is a fantastic actress, but I can't see her playing Dru. Victoria Rowell IS Dru!

But I do wonder why a soap like Y&R or PASSIONS never bothered to cast her. She would have been great as a rival for Dru or Olivia or even as Liz, Eve's sister(And I LOVE Amelia Marshall, don't get me wrong).

Temp recast maybe. But not anything longer than an emergency recast. Victoria Rowell is Dru. Anyone else playing her would be a pale imitation.

I couldn't stand that chick and NO. No way in hell. This is Vicky's role, even the suggestion of a recast makes me ill.

I wouldn't want to see her as Drucilla. I'd love it if the show brought her on as a whole new character. I think Jennings would do well on Y&R. Of course, The Hack would have to be out of her current position for this to happen, or else I would probably hate the character instantly (Adrian, Jana, David Chow).

I know her work very well dfrom sunset beach and IU am a big fan and i think she would be a perfect replace ment. Does anyone knows why Ms. Rowell is leaving? ote name='MarlandRulez' date='Feb 11 2007, 06:46 PM' post='368751']

Now IMO Vicky Rowell is the ONLY Dru but if they have to recast, would Dominique Jennings be a suitable replacement?

She was amazing as Virginia on SuBe. i do not want this to happen at all, but was just putting it out there as a suggestion... if somebody has to replace Rowell they have to be darn good!

Actually, if there MUST be a recast, Dominique would be the closest fit.

That said, the role belongs to Rowell.

I loved DJ on "Sunset Beach" but yeah, a recast isn't necessary.

The show has survived without Drucilla before and can do so again, but Y&R needs to do something. They are losing favorites left and right.

    • I could've sworn FV let other people direct either here or at OLTL. I may be wrong. IIRC Kimberly is now very active directing multi-cam/sitcom work.
    • IIRC MVJ said the million was just the first piece of what Leslie got or was already owed, something they did make explicit in dialogue but not too explicit. Still, I am past worrying about it. I do think they want 30-yo elder millennial Peaches in her Sophia Petrillo wig to be a point of pathos for Leslie. In theory I am fine with that, and don't dislike Peaches despite the jarring physical disconnect and need for a recast lol. But I do think they do a lot of B&B-style whizzing from Point A to Point C with Leslie on this kind of stuff - in one scene she is raising hell, in the next she is weeping over Peaches. There's very little transition to that sometimes that allows for the nuance, and that can be done much better and they can go much deeper with Leslie (and most characters). The newer/younger audience for the show may have less issue with this kind of quick change than we do.

       Thank you.   That was part of my reasoning as well. I think about the days of Kevin, Joey, and Jessica on OLTL or Lucky/Liz/Nik/Sarah/Emily on GH or the Last Blast Kids on DAYS or the Glow by Jabot kids, and it takes me back. Sure I started soaps due to the older cast with their divas, but I do like to see people around my age back then, too. Great memories.   So I love a good relatable teen tale. Bullying. Hormones for the Bad Boy. College choices and internal conflict. 
    • Thank you for the information.  I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released.  But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding.    I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it.  So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again.  She seemed troubled, to say the least.   
    • Boxer-briefs, huh?   Well...called it on Cane/Giggly Heffa hooking up so not surprised.
    • Do you have Addie’s first air date??
    • Even now Victor is always so warm with Ashley. I liked their brief re-pairing as well.
    • @depboy Thanks. That does help. @titan1978 @Paul Raven Really enjoying the analysis of the production methods and what Monty was doing.  I wish we got some of those biopics here that a few UK soaps got as a biopic on Monty's first few years at GH would be fascinating. 
    • The original 'mansion' was one of the set upgrades they did in 1980 . It was the Chandler residence. When that story fizzled out I think it became Stuart Whyland's house -not 100 on that. But it was revealed that Stuart was working for the Di Mera's (rewrite) so Stefano moved into that house. Mmmm...then it became Alex Marshall's? Neil and Liz lived there also. At some point it was finally replaced.  
    •   Thanks. I'm glad she got to as I know some producers tend to get mad if actors want to direct.
