    She is such a great actress.Why did she have to leave the 'Young and the Restless'? hide show

    Victoria is the best actress.She should have stayed on the Young and the Restless.She was my favorite chracter as Drucilla Winters.I just couldn't stand seeing her fall off the stupid cliff.I think that she should stay.Lily,Devon and Neil need her.Lily was screaming her hed off.Neil was crying for the first time ever holding the coat they found.Dru is the only reason why I watch this show.Why did you leave Victoria,why?The Young and the Restless will be stupid without her.

    Do you agree?
