Death of: 1 hour ago, Y&R We Are Reporting the TRAGIC DEATH of Victoria Rowell, May He Rest in Peace

Summary

This video discusses the long-standing fan desire to bring back Drucilla Winters to The Young and the Restless. Played by Victoria Rowell, Drucilla’s “death” in 2007 was never fully confirmed—and with characters like Adam Newman returning from the grave repeatedly, fans believe it’s well past time for her comeback. The video touches on the controversy surrounding Rowell’s exit, her openness to return, and how Drucilla’s return could shake up Genoa City, especially for Lily, Devon, and the legacy of Neil Winters.

Why Drucilla Winters Never Should Have Been Killed Off

We’d say that The Young and the Restless never should have killed off Drucilla Winters on April 4, 2007.

Then again—this is Genoa City, where death means next to nothing.

Zane Jenkins anyone?
And how many times has Adam Newman come back from the grave?

It’s Past Time for a Resurrection

So instead of lamenting her death, let’s say this:

It’s not just time—it’s past time that the CBS soap resurrected Drucilla, the iconic character played by Victoria Rowell since 1990.

The Complicated Truth Behind the Scenes

We understand—it’s complicated.

Rowell has alleged that she wasn’t considered for rehiring because of her advocacy for African-American representation on and off screen.

There’s been bad blood, no doubt.

Yet despite everything, Rowell has signaled she’s still willing to return to Genoa City.

Rowell Leaves the Door Open

In fact, back in 2020, she told Soaps.com that while Dru’s tumble from a cliff might have been fateful…

…it was not fatal.

Her fate was left nebulous and open-ended—perfect for a return.

Why Y&R Needs Drucilla Now More Than Ever

Let’s face it—The Young and the Restless could use the spark that Rowell always brought.

Bringing Dru back would be a game-changer.

Especially since her widower Neil is now gone (RIP Kristoff St. John), her return would hit emotional and dramatic highs.

Impact on Lily and Devon

Dru’s return would send shockwaves through the lives of her impetuous children, Lily and Devon.

It could force both of them to reevaluate everything—their choices, legacies, and relationships.

Your Thoughts?

What do you think?

Would you like to see Drucilla finally climb back up that cliff and reclaim her rightful place in Genoa City?
