Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Oooh. question for you...Could you ever see Michelle Stafford on ABC's Desperate Housewives or something much stronger than that? I could see Michelle in a primetime role also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Port Oak Valley Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Since Sharon is involved, its gotta be Dru. I cant see them getting rid of anybody else in Sharons sphere. I hate to see this happen, but I would rather her "die" than be recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Michelle is also too good for Desperate Housewives as well but she would excel in a prime time soap. I could even see her doing well in a prime time drama as a DA because she can convincingly play smart! My ultimate wish would be to see her on Boston Legal, which is one of the funniest and best acted shows on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WillenFan21 Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Almost positive that its Drucilla who is being killed off... FROM SOD's Coming and Goings gives some info on Olivia's return: Young and Restless Tonya Lee Williams- Dru's sister returns on April 12 and 13 during a FAMILY CRISIS. "Its good to be back" smiles Williams. "It felt almost as if I were in a time machine because not much has changed. Also on Page 12 it says that she returns for a crisis in the Winters family.

Members Chris B Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 And remember the one final catfight between Dru and Phyllis? This is it, so Phyllis is the third person. Who else could it be? Especially after they jump started the Dru and Phyllis fued today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SteveFrame Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 I don't actually blame Latham on this one. I blame her for some things, but not in this one. Fans didn't want a recast. St. John didn't deserve to lose his job just because Victoria chose to leave. So it wouldn't have been fair to have wrote Dru & Neil off together. Dru simply leaving her family behind would have had the fans screaming at the top of the lungs. Fans didn't like Dru going crazy. As I said they didn't want a recast - just the mere mention of one angered so many. So what else could Latham do. She has written for Dru and put her front burner. Some of it was good - some of it wasn't. Victoria chose to leave - sadly she did - but it wasn't for lack of airtime or lack of story. So killing her off and leaving it with an open end is the best way to go. And as to the list of those who have went off a cliff and no bodies found or to return later. Add these: Roman Brady (Days) Leo DuPres (AMC) Vanessa (AMC) So if you go off a cliff in daytime, you almost always return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Drucilla's husband was having an affair, she should've left him and gotten a divorce. Don't forget that Dru was written off the show before and Neil got some great storylines. Dru being killed off is yet another legacy character lost. It would be different if it was only Dru, but Latham is killing off and writing off as many legacy characters as she can. Dru won't be the last. By the end of the year I expect even more new characters taking the place of the ones we know and love. Look at Amber. On the show for five minutes and has already been turned into the star of the show. It's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SteveFrame Posted March 22, 2007 Members Share Posted March 22, 2007 Chris I agree with you but what is the difference in Dru simply leaving or Dru being killed off. Both ways she is off the show - a legacy character is gone. If she kills her off in a way to bring her back later, then I have no problem with it - either way she is gone. The only difference this time is this wasn't Latham's fault. I agree that she has written off John & Ashley, but she didn't want Dru gone. Victoria chose to leave. So I can blame Latham for some things, but not for this. I wouldn't have minded Dru staying around even as a recast, but other fans weren't. They made it clear they wouldn't accept anyone as Dru. To me this time Latham was damned no matter what she did. Other stuff she deserves to be but she was in a no win situation with Dru. Amber she fully deserves to be damned and blamed. That one is her fault and some other new characters too. She has put on way too many - way too fast just like Sheffer has and both of them need to stop it now. The only thing that Y&R has going for it is that we have not lost as many cast members as Days has and we don't have as many new faces running around. So far of her new faces only Adrian, Amber & Cane get a lot of air time. Cane & Ji Min are the only 2 I really like even though I am warming up to Adrian some. But I am not overly fond of any of them even Ji Min. I think Neil will get some good stories with Dru out or dead, but I would much rather keep the legacy character around and create story from that. I would much rather have Renee Jones as Dru than as a new character as the new rumor is stating is being created for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 I would never warm up to Renee being Dru..simply because Victoria was the Queen of the cutting ad-libs...only Victoria Rowell to me, can pull that off...it would seem forced suddenly seeing Renee Jones trying to get into Dru like Victoria has... It's best that Renee comes on as a new character and a potential love interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 24, 2007 Members Share Posted March 24, 2007 Agreed. Recastin Drucilla is like recastin Victor or Katherine. It can't & shouldn't be done. If Thad's pilot gets the green light, he's gonna be the next vet out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted March 25, 2007 Members Share Posted March 25, 2007 As I said in another thread some time ago; hopefully this pilot gets picked up. Thad deserves it... ...hwait no; we longtime Y&R viewers deserve it to get this failure off our screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 If this leaves the door open for a VR return, then I'm OK with it. The other options, leaving her family, going crazy or a recast wouldn't play well. If you ever get a chance to see the Soapography with VR, you'll hear how she talks about Y&R as her home, etc. Frankly, I think she just wants a break. I only wish her the best. The show, of course, will go on. It did during her other absences and others. Let's hope she comes back soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
