All My Children is reportedly casting Cassie the daughter Angie (Debbie Morgan) and Jacob (Darnell Williams) adopted on the Loving spinoff The City. Who would be better to take on the role than Young and the Restless alum Davetta Sherwood (ex-Lily)?

During Sherwood's brief run replacing Christel Khalil as Lily on Y&R, Sherwood proved that original doesn't always mean "real". Sherwood's take on Lily was street smart, sassy and realistic. It was easy to believe she was the daughter of Victoria Rowell's Dru. Many fans-including this one-cried foul when Khalil decided she wanted her old role back-after having left of her own accord-and Y&R booted Sherwood.

Can't you just see Sherwood in scenes with soap legends Morgan and Williams? She would also be a great romantic interest for Dre Woods (Sterling Sulieman) and a potential rival for Pine Valley teen queen Colby Chandler (Ambyr Childers).  Then if they could only get Marcy Walker back as Colby's mom and Jesse and Angie's worst nightmare Liza Colby, I might start watching AMC more regularly again, that is unless I see someone eating pancakes.

Soap Opera Network is reporting that Maria Arena Bell is taking over as the new Head Writer for “The Young and The Restless.”

Ooooh...now here's an interesting possibility.

Just week's after reports that One Life to Live was trying to woo Victoria Rowell to Llanview Nelson Branco over at TV Guide Canada brings word that she "will more than likely return to the show (Young & Restless) sometime in the near future."

How awesome is that? It's almost as if with Lynn Marie Latham gone the new Head Writers and Executive producers at the Young and Restless are working faster than Willy Wonka's Oompa Loompas to clean up the mess she left the venerable show in.

One thing is for sure, if Victoria Rowell does return as Drucilla, not only do I hope that the Phyliss vs. Dru rivalry renews with zest but I hope she kicks  her family's ass. Someone needs to smack Devon for lusting after his sister. Someone needs to put some sense into Lily's head. Someone needs to give Neil a wake up call. Only Dru could do that in short order.

Let's hope this works out!
