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?

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.

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.

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.

      Welcome back, Tripp 

      Please register in order to view this content

      I’m glad Tripp is back in Salem and I like that he’s planning on being more assertive. He doesn’t deserve to get hurt again. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if some people in the Soap Universe are gonna be mad about his lines today Hopefully, we get some scenes of Johnny/Tripp and Wendy/Chanel. There haven’t been that many lately and this storyline definitely needs them. I think weaving Talia into it would be a good idea as well. She needs a new man now that the Colin storyline is over.  Rafe is still dumb. There really are no security cameras at that hospital that could have shown that Colin didn’t take Abe?? Speaking of Abe, his storyline is total ff material. James Reynolds deserves so much better than this.

      And Just Like That

      I've been rewatching early SATC (am mid-season 2), and am enjoying the mid-90s indie film vibe of the show at that time. It was a bit tougher and grittier but it also showed some of the growing wealth of the city at that time. SATC was always about pecking order and jostling for a better position, but on the romantic frontlines. I also enjoyed the Bad Dating SLs LOL. I understand why it went the fairytale-ish route. Part of this mirrored the evolution of the city itself, as Manhattan became more moneyed and, dare I say, unaffordable. It was a glamorous city that many aspired to live in and conquer against the odds. Part of it was also, as the show progressed, our own growing investment in the main cast and their SLs. Hence less standalone episodes and more a continuing soapy story of romantic relationships. IMO, this was a fairly organic evolution.

      Lanier is fine but I miss Hunter King as well. A lot of the material AL is struggling with currently HK would’ve had an easier time playing, she could knock out those bratty whiny freakout moments with little effort. AL’s Summer should be written as icier and more indignant.

      Seeing Harris Faulkner trend the last few nights for shameless propaganda on Faux News, I watched a clip or two, and she is better at selling it than Tucker, Hannity, Watters, and so on. Yet she's never going to be accepted by that fanbase, for two reasons.
