Members Cashton Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 A chatter on another board (am I allowed to say what board it's on?) is blasting away that Vivica Fox is coming to Y&R as either a Yolonda re-cast or.....Drucilla! Prolly too good to be true but if there is anyone who could play Drucilla it would be Vivica. Her career has been uneven lately and she would welcomed (by me at least) if there was no way to get VR back. And she would certainly make the role of Yolanda more interesting if she were to come on for a short-term role. Didn't DTC have an interview with Viv a while back ago about possibly coming to Daytime? I don't really listen to podcasts (cept for the VR one of course hehe). EDD - Wasn't Fox once on Y&R as someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 Vivica was Stephanie Simmons back in 1995, as per the imdb credits. Hmmmm.... I like the actress, and since Rowell seems to be doing everything in her power to make every single person at the Y&R team hate her, I guess we need to be looking for a different Drucilla. But Rowell will always be the only Drucilla for me. Always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Robert Barr Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 That would be interesting if the paired her up with Kristoff St. John again. They were paired up on Generations back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 I think she could actually do well as Dru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cashton Posted September 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 IA - VR will always be Dru. Just like Heather Tom will always be Victoria, but I'm still glad to have the character of VN on my screen than sitting in a chateu in France cooling her heels off-screen. Same goes for Dru.

Members Chris B Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 They need to take Yolanda and create a new dynamite black female who could help revamp this family. If Dru isn't Victoria Rowell let her stay dead. If Eric Braeden or Peter Bergman left the roles wouldn't be recast. Yes Bergman is a recast, but at this point he *is* Jack, just like Rowell *is* Drucilla and Jess Walton *is* Jill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 Crazy-ass Vivica Fox. Is she that desperate for work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hmmmm... IMDB says her entire 2008 is full of movies to come, and she's already booked for 2009. I just don't see her coming back to daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 That is the dumbest idea I have ever heard of. Not bringing her back, I liked her on Y&R the first time, just bring her back as the character she originally played. The hot doctor involved with Malcolm.

Members SFK Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 I don't think this is going to happen. Vivica is no A-lister, but she doesn't "need" Y&R right now, and especially not on a contract basis. I could see her doing a short stint. I also don't think she'd be interested or comfortable with taking Vicki's part. I don't think it would go over well, Hollywood is a tight knit community. If Vivica does come back, bring her back as Stephanie and beef up the part, giving her some really delicious stuff to do with Adam, I mean Neil.

Members JackPeyton Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 Now are these strihg to DVD or TV Movies? because that does matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 Especially since her Y&R stint back in the 90s was already cut short because she headed for bigger things... Stephanie was a nurse at GC Memorial and was linked to Malcolm although there never happened much due to the Keesha story and/or Fox' departure.

Members Cheap21 Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 I dont think Y&R could handle Vivica. She's an even bigger diva than people claim Victoria Rowell to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
