ALL: Short Lived Character, Long Lasting Impact

[Planet Soap]

Yup!

The three women in this picture were the most beautiful on the show at the time. Honorable mention to early 90s Lauren & Tracy.

Cassaundra was an old school Hollywood type beauty. She had this mysteriousness and glamor about her. Nina Arvesen reminds me of Brenda Epperson in the face. I love the gas lighting scenes during the George Rollins murder storyline. Peak Y&R. 1989-92 was a particularly strong time for the show. She should have lasted longer. 

Mary Jo Mason had a similar mystery about her.

Add to the list...Veronica Landers Y&R

I always mention her lol. Because Veronica shot Nikki Victor divorce Diane to be with Nikki again, turning Diane into a villain. 

It also lead Diane to try and steal Victor's sperm which helps set off the sperm gate fiasco... Which resulted in the births of Kyle and Abby.

It also played a role in Diane casting her vote against Victor in the hostile takeover of Newman enterprises.

wow, Ive actually never heard of this character

[Soaplovers]

She was the Mari Jo Mason of the 80s.

Sultry, confident, and a grey character.

It reminds me that the Bell shows were a sea of blondes in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Y&R had MTS, LLB, Barbara Crampton, Nina Arvesen, Brenda Epperson. B&B had Joanna Johnson, KKL, Teri Ann Linn.

Based solely on looks, Nina Arvesen could have replaced Brenda Epperson as Ashley instead of Sherry Shattuck.

Arveson eerily resembles Nicole Brown Simpson.
