Y&R: Casting/Storyline Spoilers

Featured Replies

None of that sounds real. I would like to hope the show isn't stupid enough to recast Dru. I look at how deadly dull the Barber-Winters are and I'd hate to see their new spin on Dru. At least with Rowell in the role (like if Heather Tom returned as Victoria) the writers would be forced to write for such a huge presence. With a new actor is just wouldn't have the same spark and she'd get marginalized eventually. But something needs to be done fast. Put Tyra with the young people (JT? Kevin? Billy?), put Devon in a real romance (Colleen?) and give Olivia a major storyline worthy of Tonya Lee Williams talents.

ICAM!

TPTB need to get back those two back to the fold permanently; they made great additions in the little they were in GC the last days.

Pretty much!

Victoria Rowell IS Drucilla Winters and no one can ever replaced her

Completely agree.

If this is true I feel very sorry for whoever they drag to the role. However if they're smart an actress wouldn't even try it.

Dru could be easily replaced by any actress that can act and not cause problems on the set for the other actors and the crew...everyone is replaceable and expendable....just ask Drake and Deidre

That's true 90% of the time in my opinion.

I mean who can play Dru with such sass? Who can bring the true essence of Dru other than VR? I mean VR playing Dru is like watching a dolphin in water. It's basically natural to them. And it just fits. The way she can go from one extreme to another is just amazing.

I'm sorry but I think the character would cease to be Dru if another person played the part.

It's like someone trying to recast Victor Newman or Jack Abbott. It just wouldn't work.

That's been done and it worked rather well, imo. But why even bother recasting Dru. That seems pointless to me. It would make much more sense to create some new and interesting AA characters. Then no one needs to worry about measuring up to VR's Dru.

Peter is not the FIRST Jack Abbott and for me it took a couple of years for him to take Terry Lester's role and make it his own...Peter does not have Terry's suave essence .....

I think Y & R has continued fine without the trouble that evidently VR brought to the set...they can explain the change in DRU on her being gone and out of touch with reality (which the character had been for years).....

Katherine may be returning sooner than expected and there will be consequences for many characters because of the way they behaved when they thought she was "dead" particularly Jill.

Isn't that Victor Jr. redux?

I don't think most of these spoilers are true, I've ony seen the Brad/Phyllis one else where, other than that, nothing else.

That's the one I really need to be true.
