Apparently, she's tried to get back on the "Young & Restless" since her character was killed.

From another article,

"Rowell claims she has made repeated attempts to reprise her role on the show since 2010, including a direct plea to Moonves – who claimed he was no longer involved in programming or casting decisions for the show. However, according to Rowell's attorney, "The suggestion that CBS was not involved in decision-making was not true." "

She event got Congresswoman Maxine Walters and the national Urban League involved:

"Congresswoman Maxine Waters appealed to Moonves on Rowell's behalf, but "Mr. Moonves responded that if Ms. Waters contacted him again on behalf of Ms. Rowell, he would report her to the House Ethics Committee," according to the lawsuit. The actress's lawyer claims the response "certainly showed Mr. Moonves’ hostility."

In addition to Congresswoman Waters' efforts, National Urban League President Marc Morial spent "many months" advocating with CBS and Sony for Rowell's return, but came to the conclusion that her rehire was unlikely "because of her advocacy for increased African American employment in front of and behind the camera,” the suit alleges.

"Rowell is now asking a judge to order CBS and Sony to "consider her seriously for re-employment" on The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful without regard for her complaints of racial discrimination. She's also seeking an unspecified amount of compensation for back pay, front pay, benefits and punitive damages."

I hear about this all time by black actress and mixed ones

Ex. the lady on the new nbs show about a male parent slaping someone else kid

Nothing is impossible or out of the ordinary in Hollyweird.

Think of what actresses do for a career-altering role in a movie or a TV show.

The casting couch is real.
