JENNIFER LANDON WINS ROLE ON THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

Her world just turned - big time! Daytime Emmy-winning fan fave Jennifer Landon, daughter of the late TV icon Michael Landon, has won the role of legal eagle Heather Stevens on CBS' The Young and the Restless. She begins shooting the soap May 2 and hits the air June 7. Back in 2005, Landon famously nabbed a one-day gig on As The World Turns and parlayed her offbeat character, Gwen Norbeck, into a three-year deal and three back-to-back Emmys.

At Y&R, Landon will replace another Emmy winner, Eden Riegel (formerly Bianca on All My Children), who played Heather for 18 months only to be ousted last year in a surprise cast purge. When last seen, Heather's reputation and career were in ruin after photos of her drunkenly kissing scumbag Adam Newman were posted on the Restless Style Magazine website - photos taken by her very own brother, Ricky! She fled Genoa City in shame. Is she back with a vengeance?

Hope we can see this soap opera in Argentina!

I'm happy she's joining The Young and the Restless. It's my favorite daytime drama.

He has done well for herself.

It has some nice parts with pics of her Dad and although it starts a little disjointed, it is a nice piece.

I hadn't read about the French boarding school, just one in LA and then NYU. Maybe it was a good thing at the time to get away, although I can see why the culture shock, they are much different than California. ; )

I specially loved the pics. I didn't know most of them. Thanks for this interesting link. It's great for Landon-maniacs!

Jennifer Landon has been let go from her role as Heather Stevens on The Young and the Restless. I'm upset that she's been let go. She's a great actress.

I am sad she was let go, but Jennifer will go on to do something bigger and better than a soap. She has the talent AND voice (she sings great too!). This just opens the door for something better to see her in.

I'm sad to see her go from Y&R too. Three actresses have played the role of Heather Stevens and I think she played it best! I do wish her well though and I know she will move on to bigger and better things!
