WLS on Y&R: Time for Victoria Rowell to Return as Drucilla


Recommended Posts

Plenty of ppl don't like their co-workers - it's just magnified because they are "ACTORS!" and the media. Something tells me that EB still is no fan of PB after all these years. The story has to be there. The other factor - time. Everyone assumed the viewers who abandoned ship after Malcolm left would come running back when he returned. Made no difference in ratings. Anyway, as I've always said, I'd love to see her back because I enjoy watching her on the screen as far as great storytelling and higher ratings, I have no illusions there.

This pisses me off!!!! because it's not like black actors or actress get reward by not saying anything or by playing nice. They get treated just like VR get treated by her specking out. & that's what I hate most about the situation.

I'm not suggesting that the sponsors know anything about her tweets. I'm suggesting that the soap community is small and that TPTB are not going to re-hire someone who goes around tweeting their sponsors negative things about the show. I just can't see it happening, but again, if it does, I'll be among the happiest people on this board.

I'd agree if she hadn't spent a large portion of the last few years trolling Twitter in an attempt to force the show to bring her back. It's made her look desperate and done nothing to help the legitimate concerns she expressed.

Rowell has ranted on Twitter a lot, which doesn't help her prospects. There is nothing wrong with being truthful, but you have to do it in a way that doesn't look like ranting. If not for that, I do think she would have been asked back at this point.

No she doesn't why do people believe when u trash the CEO of CBS and Sony and the show calling everyone racist which is unsubstantiated. She used social media to trash a network and show why should she get her job back? U people don't understand professionalism one on one.

The Hack Bitch from Hell is LML. MAB never got to touch Dru because LML killed her off.

The only negative would be a classic Y&R couple? laugh.png No. You clearly haven't seen how these two people come alive when they're together.

The negative would be that Dru, as well, would be destroyed as a character. She's one of the few that has escaped this. I don't wish to see her decimated too.

What writers? Dru only had one truly horrible writer, LML, and it was the end.

I loved their friendship. Phyllis vs Dru on the other hand? Meh.

+1

BOOM!

Well, once the show is off the air, I hope the other actors, writers, & producers save their money up. & another thing CEO of CBS & Sony are racist to me, I didn't need VR to tell me that. But KSJ, the lady that plays Olivia, & BJ never called them racist. What reward have they gain by being quite???

I don't like the game of Hollywood either for my fellow AA's but they have to be tactful about it. I think in her battle early on, she was doing good but when she left the show, she did too much. Her constant rants don't do her justice, so if she was invited back, it'd be by the grace of God, and I feel like Vicki would have to play nice. At least be cordial. She can still go about trying to change issues but do it humbly and not as aggressive as she's done so.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted
