Ex-Y&R Star Victoria Rowell Recently Met With Sony!



 Maria Arena Bell has assured fans that one of her soap's popular leading ladies, Melody Thomas Scott, will be back on screen as Nikki Newman, but another actress The Young and the Restless fans have been begging to get back in Genoa City is Victoria Rowell. On July 7 the former Drucilla Winters tweeted she’d recently had two meetings with Sony!

I recently had 2 meetings at SONY so let's pray and believe DRUCILLA will be cresting that Genoa City cliff any time now.


Could it be possible Dru was wearing a parachute when she fell over that cliff? Man do we hope so!

Oh my LAWD JESUS!!!!! now I know its a little unlikely, but if we had Victoria Rowell AND Debbi Morgan on one show...I'd probably just float away to heaven and watch on the big tv in the sky

Oh. My. Goodness!!!
Be still my heart!!!
Is it possible to be too happy?!!?
Between the lovely news about AMC and OLTL yesterday and waking up to this notice, I know little miracles do happen!!
(I'm almost afraid to get my hopes up on this return.)
Please Sony/Y & R don't mess this up!! Innocent

Okay, here we go. Sharon finds her and Dru's like, "Ooh girlfrieeeend, I miss you so much but look a here, you know we got some unfinished business to take care of." Sharon's like "Mmm hmm, yeah girl". Sharon tells that current man she's walking it like a dog with, "Later trick. Me and my sister here need to take care of something." They speed off in a car, Thelma and Louise style, wait in the lobby of Restless Style magazine, pull off the earrings, put on the tennis shoes, sit out the jar of Vaseline and as soon as Big Red steps off that elevator, they give her a good old fashion high school beat down. That's what I'm talking about. Smile

I'll believe it when the folks at Sony and Y&R actually confirm that she is indeed back at Y&R. But considering that a number of cast members have been very adamant that they do not want Victoria Rowell back. Even some cast members have threatened to quit their jobs if she ever comes back.

After all the accusations she made about this show and the actors who work there, why would she want to come back? Does she really think she is going to get some big warm reception? If she comes back to the show and she doesn't get her way, is she going to have another snit fit then whine and complain ad nauseam and make riduculous youtube videos in butt ugly hats?

Thanks, but no thanks!

I am with you, Stoney. I do not want to get excited until we get confirmation. Plus if this comes to pass, I may have to borrow Alstonboy's avatar!Wink

So I guess Eric Braeden is the only one who can go out and show his natural azz on television and radio stations about the show, have an on-set physical altercation with a castmember, and STILL hog all the airtime on the show....now I know Victor Newman is a huge part of Y&R, but for a lot of fans, like ME, so is Drucilla Barber Winters. And I don't recall seeing a huge ratings difference when Braeden left a couple of years ago...but I can guarantee the ratings surge if Dru were to return!!!

Glowery....Y&R is a business. If these folks want to stay on air you gotta let stuff go and keep it moving. Victoria Rowell is needed on this show. Everyone on all these soaps can't be best friends. If everyone can work with Eric Braeden then I'm sure everyone can work with Victoria Rowell. I'm sure we don't know have the crap that goes on behind the scenes at Y&R. I'm sure VR didn't even reveal half the stuff. At the end of the day all I care about is what's on the screen. VR always played the hell out of Drucilla Barber Winters and if she can come back and continue to do that then I don't care if they are fighting everyday behind the scenes. She's needed in front of that camera more than ever.

Also bravo to Victoria Rowell and the Urban League for getting some MUCH needed diversity behind the lens!

My cynical side is coming out. I don't believe it. Wasn't she in talks with MAB a year ago? I can't see her coming back.

Victoria only had a beef with Michelle Stafford and Peter Bergman. They can simply not write Drucilla in scenes with Phyllis and Jack and presto! Problem solved.

If Y&R wants Victoria Rowell back, they must have a death wish.

The woman is Trouble, and she'll be a cancer to this show again. After all the crap she's spilled on Y&R writers, actors, staff members, and executives, it's hard to believe they'd ever talk to her again, let alone hire her back.

I guess if you're a w_ore for ratings....

Victoria Rowell is the VICTIM of other peoples' hate, particularly the vile Michelle Stafford. Y&R NEEDS Drucilla. She is as important as Victor, Nikki, Katherine, Jill, Nina, Lauren, Paul and Traci.

Dru is needed SO BADLY! She needs to come back and smack Sharon back to reality, give Lily a wake-up call and a backbone, kill Cane, spit on Phyllis, and get rid of this Malcolm impostor. I know, Sharon should find her in the tiny town she's hiding away in, and they can get all caught up and make a plan to go back to GC and take the city by storm. *sigh* a girl can dream, can't she??

@AlistairCrane: We can agree on this Crane. Dru is needed back on the show. She is needed badly.

Oh well! If you can't suck it up and be a professional then...DEUCES!

DM and VR on the same show would make Y&R must-see tv for me again.

The entire industry is comprised of "w(h)ores for ratings". That's what it's all about, ratings. It's called show b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s. Eric Braeden nor Melody Scott will ever win any congeniality prizes on the set of that show either. It is what it is. Most of the cast doesn't get along, but the fans adore Dru.

I was just saying that this would never happen, but I also thought that AMC & OLTL would never be saved...prove me wrong, Sony...PLEASE!!!!

I don't care anymore. This happens all the time. I don't see her coming back. Didn't CK and VR hate each other? Are they not going to show scenes of them together? I'm ready for Debbi Morgan.

I don't consider half those people important anymore, lol.

Fingers and toes crossed!!

I also wouldn't be broken up if Christel Khalil and Michelle BLEEPING Stafford both decided to UP and QUIT, as they reportedly threatened to do the last time there was talks of her return. I wouldn't miss EITHER of them.

I also heard that the writers were requiring her to be "voted back in," which is bullshit since Daniel Goddard's ass didn't have to be "voted back in." They fired him--and rightfully so---but apparently got buyer's remorse and hired him back. Though I'll never understand WHY!!

And reportedly, Daniel Goddard is universally disliked by the Y&R cast as well, so what makes him any different? Oh wait.......it's that little elephant in the room called RACISM!!

Either way, I really hope Drucilla can finally climb back up that cliff and end up back where she belongs.

They will have to get rid of some dead weight to accommodate her return, but I don't care how many useless newbies and pointless characters they decide to get rid of. Just make it happen, Y&R/Sony~!!!

And who cares if Christel Khalil or Michelle BLEEPING Stafford threatened to quit if she came back?

They can BOTH kick rocks, as far as I'm concerned. SyPhyllis has become an annoyingly cold bitch who I wish SOMEONE would run over with their car (it would be tit for tat since she did the exact same thing to Cricket and Paul back in 1995!), and I've been wanting them to get rid of Christel Khalil for YEARS!!

Kill three birds with one stone! Bring back my beloved Dru and get rid of those two hateful heifers (Christel and Michelle!) in the process!

Win-win situation, as far as I can see~~!!

There's been a HUGE void/hole in Y&R since Victoria/Drucilla left that NO other actress, black, white or purple, has been able to fill. And it will REMAIN that way until she comes back. Genoa City (and Y&R!) simply isn't what it should be without her on the show.

I've always liked the character of Drucilla, because she adds a little spice to the show, but I don't much care for Victoria Rowell. She seems mean and high-strung.
LOL @ Glowery's comment about the ugly hats.
Oh, and I loved Victoria Rowell in Dumb and Dumber. She's hilarious in that movie.

I don't know if it will happen but I would like it if it did.

Dru coming to town and Nathan trying to help her was one of the first storylines of Y&R I saw as I started watching around that time.

THE LEFT ONE LOOKS A BIT SAGGY AND IS HANGING A LOT LOWER THAN THE RIGHT ONE.
