Does anyone else feel as though Davetta Sherwood did a better job as Lily on Y&R?

Question

I just feel as though Lily's character could use a lot more spunk, and the current actress always plays a pushover.

Answer 1

i biggly disagree with u i think the lily they have now is soooooo great  

Answer 2

Personally, I love this Lily....

Answer 3

no, I was waiting until this Lily came back. Davetta Sherwood had no emotion and no feel to her. I'm waiting for the old Colleen to come back.

Answer 4

I agree. I think Davetta did a much better job. I don't like this Lily..She is too childish..

Answer 5

This is the same question that I posted on here several months ago, and I concur that she was a better Lily than Crystal Khalil. When she (Crystal) first came back to the show, she was so whiney and bitchy, I wanted to kick her ***, so did Dru. I was constantly like, why can't she just shut the "you know what" up, I wish that I could reach through the t.v. and ring her neck. Crystal originated the role, but Davetta Sherwood should have came on permanently as the older and more mature Lily. This Lily is a lot like Neil, Davetta's Lily was more like Drucilla, they both had that, "Hey don't let this dress fool you, I may be high fashion, but at the same time, I will kick your ***." kinda attitude. This here Lily is such a whiner and dependant on letting everybody tell her what she should or shouldn't do, Davetta's Lily would have took care of Chl"ho"e once and for all. Davetta was definetly a portrait of Drucilla's daughter, sorry Crystal, but:

BRING BACK DAVETTA, BRING BACK DAVETTA, BRING BACK DAVETTA

Answer 6

I loved Davetta playing Lilly (I hate the Lilly now) I wish they would bring her back to play Lilly.

Answer 7

i like this lily better.she is a great actor

Answer 8

This Lily is pounding on my last nerve! They need to change her s****. attitude. She comes on I fast foward.

Answer 9

I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY ASKED THIS!

YES!  YES!  

  At first, I didn't like the replacement because I was used to the original Lily, but after a while she actually grew on me and she

seemed like a true mix between Dru and Malcolm (which I still don't understand, because back then, Dru was already sick from pregnancy which is why she took the sleep medicine which made her think she was sleeping with Neil when it was really Malcolm), but I digress...she was really good.

  This Lily is sooooo boring and has a snotty/spoiled attitude.  She drives me nuts.  I wish the Y&R writers would read this on answers.yahoo.com and apologize to Davetta and beg her back.

  I also think the old Colleen was so much better than this one.

The only switcheroo I like is the new Victoria.  I like her in this role although I did like the old one too, who is now Katie on the Bold and the Beautiful.

Answer 10

Davetta was a much better actress than this Lilly is.

This Lilly is just way too immature for as old as she is supposed to be.

To me she is more like Cane's little sister than anything else.

Davetta would have whipped Chloe's A$$ a long time ago, and wouldn't need to go running home to daddy every five minutes!

If I had anything to say about it, I would have brought Davetta back in a heartbeat, or better yet, not let her leave in the first place!

Answer 11

I totally agree that Davetta Sherwood did a better job, she actually seemed like she was playing the daughter of Drucilla Winters... this current actress, although beautiful, portrays Lily in a way that just gets on my nerves.  I think if Dru were around today she'd want to ring Lily's neck.

Answer 12

I agree, the other Lily was much nicer to look at. This Lily is immature and still thinks she is a cheer leader.

Answer 13

Perhaps the other Lily couldn't act or didn't look swooshy enough....The new characters always have to grow on me ,like Jill I prefer the old one......Blessings Yahoo

Answer 14

Yes, I agree with you, the Lily they have not is not good for that part she acts to much like a spoiled kid.

Answer 15

We call this version of Lily "Valley girl Lily". She is so sickeningly sweet at times we want to puke our way through her scenes.Does anyone know  anyone in the midwest who even talks or looks like that.It's Wisconson for crying outloud Crystal, not Malibu beach.

Davetta seemed  so much more like Dru's real daughter. Chloe would  have been sliced and diced by now if Davetta was still in the role.I sure do miss that girl, sigh... Of course this is the very same soap that got rid of Adrienne Leon as Colleen, how dumb was that! I guess YR doesn't know a good thing when they have one.

Answer 16

I agree, she always seems to have this poor-pitiful-me attitude about her.  

Answer 17

I think this Lily is a better rep of Dru/Malcolm. I also find that Davetta always had one facial expression. Thing is, you can't please everybody. When Dru was behaving like "Dru", people would say she was behaving "ghetto", now this Lily has a calmer personality, "she's not ghetto enough". Sometimes tho l wish she'd just kick Chloe's butt!!

Am Trini too!

Answer 18

I like the Lily now.  

Answer 19

> I totally agree with Scotters,,,Dru would be rolling over in her grave IF she saw what a push-over this Lily is !!  this one may have Malcolm's mannerism but surly not the same as Davetta's  being so much like Dru's >  

Answer 20

I absolutely hate this Lily

Answer 21

I like the old Lily better, I wish they would bring her back.
