Is Dru leaving Y&R

unfortunately she is. Ive always loved her character. What a shame.

Although The Young and the Restless had "no comment" on this matter, Victoria Rowell's personal publicist confirms to TVGuide.com that she asked to be released from her contract early. Rowell's request has been granted, so she will wrap up her Y&R run in early April.

Obviously, this is surprising timing since Rowell's character, Drucilla Barber Winters, is the key player in a front-burner murder mystery ("Who killed Carmen Mesta?") right now. Hmm...

Perhaps Rowell feels it's time to take another shot at the brass ring? She has enjoyed tastes of success in primetime TV and films (Diagnosis Murder, Eve's Bayou). And she did just score herself some good reviews as Samuel L. Jackson's wife in the big-screen feature, Home of the Brave. Movie critic Richard Roeper of Ebert & Roeper said she "holds her own and then some. So, big thumbs up for that."

Although the actress continues to pursue film roles, Rowell's rep says, "Victoria has a memoir called The Women Who Raised Me coming out on April 9. She wants to focus on promoting her book right now."
 
I also heard that there toying with the idea that Phylis ,is really dead, and Shelia is alive..... which would mean another exit by another great actress, Michelle Stafford :s
 
ugh dru is so whacky on y&r..she really aggravates me!!

i was thinking about phyllis being dead and sheila really being alive...would make quite the plot spin that's for sure.

i am so envious of colleen...getting to smooch "professor" corbell. haha

:huh:Oh i must sound like a nut using their character names!
 
Syntagma ..... If Phylis leaves, Nick and Sharon will get back together. plus dont you just hate her and Jack as a couple ?

Blushingbaby..... Corbel is soo cute ( there was a time that i thought he killed Carmen ... but i still loved him Hahah ) :shame:

Ummm Jenna admitted to killing Carmen. So I see how it can be Dru. Well I guess anything is possible. It is a soap opera afterall
 
Dru has left a few times already and comes back so I would not be surprised if she comes back in a few years.

Heck look at John Abbott. They killed him and he is still on every once in a while. He has more of a story as a ghost than he did alive.
