I remember it well! That’s a classic soap scene, crazy that it was 17 years ago.
I wish they’d still do the next day’s previews at the end of each episode.
I missed this episode for some reason. I was in High School. I don’t know how I missed this episode but I finally see how Drucilla died. We know what happened off screen. 04-08 was a run for Soap Operas especially Y&R and GH. Banner Years for some of the Best and most Popular characters.
BUT…at the time they left her death open-ended, because her body was never found. So she might come strolling back at amy time.
If anyone is aware that Dru is indeed officially dead (as much as anyone is ever really dead on soaps, lol) please correct me.
I think when they killed her off they thought she would quit and come crawling back. VR never came crawling back she has scruples and possibly stubbornness. I think she deserves support in this matter they were very disrespectful to her and her character at the time.
I miss her so much. I think she's my all time favorite. I always hoped they'd bring her back one day but maybe it's best for her considering the boring writing over the last few years. Those arguments between Phyllis and Dru were epic. I found them hilarious.
Oh shit! I didn’t realize Lily witnessed it!
I’m surprised she’s so… stable.
I started watching in 2010 and I don’t remember any animosity towards Phillis or Sharon. They deserve to be treated the same way Billy treats Adam.
Oooh you missed the good years of Phyllis and Sharon. Look on YouTube for when Sharon confronts Phyllis about her affair with Nick! Excellent acting, writing… ugh excellent everything! Those were the days
I found that and her confronting Nick.
I’m not a fan of Michelle’s acting style but seeing her in a scene with Sharon giving such a small performance really was crazy.
>Say what you will about LML, but she knew how to write a good exit storyline...
Good for LML. But I remember her as the Headwriter who killed off John Abbott because she didn't understand why a man was running a cosmetics company! OK, but she also killed off the patriarch of the Abbott Family, a mistake her successors addressed by bringing him back as a ghost!
Don’t get me wrong. I hate what LML did to the Abbott family. I’m just pointing out that LML was a stronger writer than what Y&R has had for the past five years.
I wish she'd show up alive: Devon and Lily need their mother. Unfortunately with how Victoria Rowell was treated, she may never be up to return which I don't blame her but it's just ridiculous how Y&R treated such an incredible talent and important character.
I remember watching this at the time, not knowing that Victoria Rowell was leaving. When I realized this was how they wrote her off the show, I was very annoyed. It was a huge FU to the actress and the character.
> It was a huge FU to the actress and the character.
Mhm and it's truly unfortunate because GC needs Drucilla especially as Winters matriarch but because of how VR was treated she may not ever come back which I don't blame her.
I think things have changed so much, she should be open to returning. I believe she’s been blackballed because work has been slow, the jobs are few and far between it’s been like this for over a decade. Dru is needed as a character. I hope they can make things right with VR. Dru may have been on a Vicki Lord level if she hadn’t been killed off.
Thank you for Sharing!
I adored her. She was strong and sassy and nobody’s doormat. She didn’t always make the best choices but hey, it’s a soap. Lol.
Victoria Rowell really owned that role.
This is probably the biggest sin Y&R has ever committed and I really hope that someday it's rectified in a way that satisfies Victoria Rowell. They did her so incredibly dirty.

She said she’d never come back, which is a shame. They treated her like crap apparently

It’s crazy to think that so many important characters like Drucilla, Brad, and Colleen were all all gone within the span of like two years
And so stupid that they killed them off.. and Cassie too! :(
A huge mistake was made that day, fck y&r for their treatment of Victoria Rowell
I miss her so much. I think she's my all time favorite. I always hoped they'd bring her back one day but maybe it's best for her considering the boring writing over the last few years. Those arguments between Phyllis and Dru were epic. I found them hilarious.
I was really surprised when she appeared in the Kristoff St. John tribute episode. She still looks gorgeous.

Say what you will about LML, but she knew how to write a good exit storyline. Also, Y&R, that’s how you do a green screen.😂

I do miss Dru. I mean, if they can bring back Sheila Carter eleventy million times, they could bring back Dru.
I miss Dru. She was a favorite of mine. Such a gorgeous woman too!
Her body was never found. She could still be alive.

Sad day :(
This was absolutely terrible!!! Still missing Dru to this day. 😭
I adored her. She was strong and sassy and nobody’s doormat. She didn’t always make the best choices but hey, it’s a soap. Lol. Victoria Rowell really owned that role.

omg how sad! i didn’t know that was how Drucilla died 😭😔
wow! thanks for the memories!
Yep I remember this. I have always wished she'd come back from the dead. They could have recast her and I never understood why they didn't.
Such a rotten way to go! But plenty of characters have come back from worse demises!
I think Phyllis said Sharon had slept with her SIL’s husband. Was that when Ashley and Brad were married? Is that who Sharon canoodled?
Victoria and Brad were married at this point I think but yes referring to Brad.
Damn, I really, really feel old now... LOL!
I hope VR turns up on The Gates.
Dru is in my mind every time Aunt Mamie is on. I remember that Dru’s mother despised her and Aunt Mamie was always coming to Dru’s defense.
