I know you like MS. But I see what's going on with my own eyes with CK. I don't know what happen with MS & VR. But they took CKlily away from her black family time & put her with her husband. & we still don't see Devon or Niel coming by. Just her & Cane & any white cast person who visit CKLily character.

I think that she is definitely needs the money. Y&R was her main steady income and it is gone. She was never an in demand actress demanding lots of money. Book royalties do not bring much money in unless the author sells hundreds of thousands copies like Barack Obama or Stephen King. VR told a friend of a friend at one of her book signing that she was going to back on Y&R soon around last year October so she has been trying to get back on Y&R for a very long time.

I hope that she bullies her crazy way back on to Y&R. I love me some Dru.

and that is CK's fault??? Is CK dicatating to MAB the direction that Lily is going in, and who she will and will not interact with???

My liking MS has nothing to do with it, posters on all the boards are assuming that the two mentioned by VR in her backhand tweet are PB and MS, sorry but I would not believe anything that comes out the loud mouth, overbearing, publicity seeking ( I have a new book coming out SOON!!!) diva's mouth, if she said the sun was shining I would have to go see for myself.

Like I said if they wanted her back, she would have been back long before now, if she was such a HOT commodity (not a racist slander - I know she is not "for sale", just a figure of speech) then she would be acting on prime time or on another soap.

Again off-topic, I'm glad someone mentioned Yvonna Kopacz on GL. When I saw her character, Mel, with hottie Cyrus today, all I could think of was they would never have dared give Cyrus to Mel, chemistry or no chemistry, if this piece of [!@#$%^&*] was not going off the air. GL's black representation has been a disgrace for many years.

Okay, topic. I do think VR is difficult and probably a little desperate, not that she needs the money, but like Robin Strasser, I think she feels very connected to her show and wants back on it. I don't think she's totally in the right with this drama, but most of what she says is very valid and the bottom line is all the actors in question, including Rowell, have to learn to work together again, because there's a gaping chest wound in the center of the show without her. That [!@#$%^&*] today was embarrassing.

who is to say that there are ANY actors blocking her coming back??? do you really think that Bell Productions, SONY TELEVISION and CBS are going to be told what to do by ACTORS?!?!?!?!?

again, from talk on the set when she left, there was one hellava good party where her leaving was celebrated by EVERYONE!!!!

Dru has been a central character (definitely one of my favorites) on Y&R for so many years I don't think anyone is arguing that she isn't needed. The question is, do they need her enough to put up with VR's antics. Perhaps VR is wholly justified in her complaints, but it doesn't change the fact that her behavior makes it appear that SHE is the one who causes the trouble. Like many people, I love that she's so outspoken, but in the long run I don't think she helps herself. If anybody thinks she's going to force tptb at Y&R to bow to her will, they're naive.

    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
