Does this mean that she’s going to stay a little bit longer? Maybe, maybe not, but either way, fans are certainly curious about what’s next for this comeback kid. Of course, we are talking about The Young and the Restless star Vail Bloom, who has recently returned to the daytime television world to reprise her role as Heather. The actress opened up about her character and what might possibly be next during an interview with Soap Opera Digest. Here’s what she has to say.
The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Vail Bloom Opens Up About Heather’s Comeback
Vail started things off by admitting that she’s so happy that she got a call from the show’s producers asking if she could come back for a short stint. She put it this way, “It wasn’t a think-about-it kind of thing because it was presented to me as it was for Y&R’s 50th anniversary and I immediately felt nostalgic and pride for an institution that’s been around that long. I’ve done other things; I produced some films and then focused on entrepreneurial and business ventures, so the last two years have been about building a brand, creative marketing and launching a company.
Still, I missed being part of a story in film and television that connects people, and what can better do that than a 50-year-running show with history and consistency that has a viewership crossing generations? I immediately thought it was an honor and accepted.”
As many The Young and the Restless fans know, Heather is raising Daniel’s daughter Lucy. When asked about that, Vail said, “I absolutely love that they threw in the maternal aspect. It’s really wonderful that a storyline can challenge the norms that make up a family. I think it’s really healthy and beautiful to see a strong woman stepping in and completely assuming a maternal role even though they’re not biologically related. Heather and Lucy are very close and Heather is doing a great job of raising Lucy, and Lucy really respects Heather being such a caring mother figure.”

Vail also said that she loves working with her co-star Daniel Graziadei. She said, “When I was first here, we were only in group scenes and not anything terribly substantial, but we’ve always been friends outside of Y&R. I couldn’t have picked a better person to have a storyline with now than Graz because we’ve had so much fun together and really respect each other.”
