After Neil Winters discovered his wife and brother had been lying to him for so many years, Neil separated from Drucilla (via Soaps in Depth). He then began flirting with his co-worker Carmen Mesta (Marisa Ramirez), though their relationship never turned physical. However, Drucilla believed they were having a full-blown affair and lashed out by going on a public drunken tirade and cutting up a bunch of the other woman’s expensive clothing.
Carmen got a restraining order against Drucilla, but the scorned wife continued to break it, per Soap Central. Eventually, Dru physically attacked Carmen, and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) caught the whole thing on tape. Dru was then fired from Newman Enterprises, arrested, and sentenced to community service and court-ordered counseling. Afterward, Neil made the decision to break off his burgeoning relationship with Carmen to stand by his wife. Drucilla and Neil were able to reconcile, but things turned sour once again when Carmen was found murdered. Dru began to see visions of the other woman around town, causing her to be institutionalized. Although it was eventually revealed the woman in Dru’s visions was Carmen’s look-alike cousin Ines Vargas, who was intentionally trying to haunt her (via Soaps). Following the intense buildup of drama, what happened to Drucilla? Things seemed to be looking up for the Winters — until a fateful day in April 2007. Drucilla was on site for a cliff-side photo shoot and unexpectedly fell to her death.
Victoria Rowell returned to “The Young and the Restless” in 2019 for a tribute to her late co-star and on-screen love, Kristoff St. John, although she did not reprise her character.
