India was a last minute creation, same as Roxie Shayne, by Pam Long because Kristi Farrell and Mary Kay Adams were so good in their audition for Beth's cousin that two roles were created.
Plus for recognizing the appeal of both actresses, but you could tell that both characters were created on the fly without a long term plan for either.
India worked much better coming in for a specific arc and leaving once that arc was over. Her 1990 return, which was for a few months, was quite effective and once the Phillip faking his death arc was over.. she left town after heart felt good byes to Phillip, shady good byes to Alex, and an awkward good bye with Beth (who hugged her despite India's resistance LOL).
Her 1998/1999 return didn't appear to have much planning involved.. and she eventually fades away again with little fan fare.
Her 2002 and 2005 visits were much better.
Roxie, on the other hand, had a nice pairing with Rick... but that weird story with Kurt and the Johnny cancer story did a disservice to Roxie.
