Y&R: Vivica A. Fox Coming to GC?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

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.

    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.
    • Daytime Confidential did a podcast of the worst mothers in soaps and here were their lists.  5.Felicia Scorpio 4.Reva Shayne 3.Dina Mergeron 2.Helena Cassadine/Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions- Stephanie Forrester,Ann Douglas, Phyllis Summers and Joanna Manning Joshua 5.Anna Devane 4.Diane Jenkins 3.Ava Vitali 2.Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions-Alexis Davis, Felicia Scorpio, Eve Donovan, Heather Webber, Natalia Ramirez, Stephanie Forrester,and Ruth Martin Luke 5.Natalia Ramirez 4.Diana Coville 3.Helena Cassadine 2.Alexis Davis 1.Arlene Vaughn Dishonorable Mentions-Stephanie Forrester Now for my comments. Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!  
    • Thanks! Looking forward to reading the rest!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
