Y & R--re: Victoria Rawlings?

Question

I know there was a reason for Victoria Rawlings (Drew Winters) leaving Y & R--anyone know the real reason? Just wondering.

Answer 1

Victoria Rowell. I went to her book signing for "The Women Who Raised Me" a couple a weeks ago in Detroit. She gave us some interesting information about things that go on behind the set and all that she had to deal with. Boy was it eye opening! When asked about Drucilla, this was Victoria's comment: "Dru's hat was not found so that means she's probably not dead." Email me offline and I'll give you details of the real reason she left.

Answer 2

Victoria Rowell left for many reasons:
-she published a book about her life as an adopted child and wanted to market it.
-she had creative differences on where her character was going
-she didn't feel that her acting was recognized by the powers that be.

Answer 3

I read on the internet that she stated she left because she felt the nomination/voting process for the daytime emmy's was unfair and she asked to be released from her contract early.



TVGuide.com: People have jumped to the conclusion you left Y&R because of the Emmy snub. I'm sure that wasn't the only reason, was it?
Rowell: It was perhaps one of the catalysts. Many people have inquired why I was not pre-nominated. This is what I have to say to that: A restructure of the Emmy voting process has to come into play, so that apathy and jealousy don't dictate who gets on the pre-nomination ballot. It should not be a popularity contest. It should be about the merit of an actor's work.

Answer 4

she had differences with writers and she wanted to write for the soap rather than act, Plus she wrote a book and wanted to have the freedom to promoted

Answer 5
