Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted August 17, 2009 Members Share Posted August 17, 2009 So has anyone checked out the new CBS Soaps in Depth? My mother just told me that it had something about Drucilla being recasted and a pic of some other black woman (who she says looks just like Victoria Rowell) on the cover. Thought I would share or inquire, because I don't read that mag. Feel free to chime in! I'm *intrigued* at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted August 17, 2009 Members Share Posted August 17, 2009 A Dru recast has disaster written all over it. The actress and the writing would have to be amazing for this to work,and with the current crew that ia a big ask. Secondly,it would mean another 'back from the dead' story.which we have just had with Phillip and not too long before that ,Katherine. I'd rather see a Malcolm recast. Or a dynamic new character that could take the existing characters in new directions. After all,once Dru returns and the shock is over,where do they go next.another round of Neil/Dru. Last time when VR returned they had the character of Wes alongside her and it went nowhere-she just remarried Neil. Every other new black woman-Tyra,Karen and those that went before them all failed. still,I think they would be better off trying again than doung a Dru recast.

Members rhythmchyc Posted August 17, 2009 Members Share Posted August 17, 2009 We all know what would happen with this recast: The Victoria Newman effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stevie Posted August 17, 2009 Members Share Posted August 17, 2009 You cannot compare Victoria Newman with Drucilla, there were and are VERY suitable recasts for Victoria Newman. Drucilla Winter's (Victoria Rowell) left a mark in history and that is the BIG difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ian Posted August 17, 2009 Members Share Posted August 17, 2009 NO RECAST. I would accept Dru back because they never found a body... but it'd have to be good... and it'd have to be VR KSJ put your foot down or else go bitch to the media because this is going to be dreadful. ETA: Tamara Tunie?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 They better leave Dru where she's at? Until they can find writers that can write for Black characters. & why she's coming back to prop up boring CKLily she's theonly one allow to have a storyline out of the Winters.

Members brimike Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 Why is anybody paying attention to SID? That's like paying attention to Branco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 That would be news to me (and my mother who knows nothing about internet forums or Branco), which is why I inquired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 True SID is ridiculous, but I would like to know what this is about. BTW, are there any youtube clips of Kent Masters King as Dru? I've been DYING to see her in the role. She seems way too young for it and totally miscast.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 This Dru being recast rumour goes around every 4 months or so... Make no mistake, this character is very much needed and her absence continues to be a big hole on this show. But with this current group of writers, she's better off dead. That way, she won't be a pod version of herself or some type of victim, since it's a female character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 And I don't think she really failed. The writing failed. I thought Nia was pretty good myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well.... if they DID want ot recast Dru, an unlikely choice, but I feel a good one, would be Bernadette Stanis: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
