List of The Young and the Restless characters (1990s)
History
Florence, also known as "Flo", came to Genoa City in 1991, living with her daughter Nina Webster for a few years. Flo worked as a part-time prostitute. She later was conned by a romance of her daughter, David Kimble (Michael Corbett) into marrying him, believing his name was "Jim Adams". Their marriage was declared invalid. In 1996, Flo left Genoa City and moved to Los Angeles.
Molly Carter first appeared in March 7, 1991 on "The Young and the Restless" the mother of Sheila Carter, portrayed by Marilyn Alex. The character departed "Y&R" in 1993, and returned again briefly in 1995. From October to November 1992, the character appeared on its sister soap "The Bold and the Beautiful". The character returned to "B&B" in April 1994, and again from January 23, 1997 to April 27, 1998.
Sheila Kuehl
Having landed the role at the age of eight Kuehl (billed as Sheila James) starred with radio and film veterans Penny Singleton, Gale Gordon, Bea Benaderet, and Jim Backus on the family radio program "The Penny Williamson Show" airing live from Studio B of the NBC studios in Hollywood. Airing in the adjacent studios was the popular drama "The Cisco Kid" and "The Bob Hope Show" with Doris Day (whom Kuehl admired). Kuehl would later cite her interaction with the other NBC radio talent as influential in forming her professionalism and comedy skills. The show centred around Singleton playing Penny Williamson a widow selling real estate in a small town to support two daughters (played by Kuehl and Mary Lee Robb). The show was "a light-hearted pitch for women's liberation, portraying Penny and her daughters as highly competent, self-sufficient females" dealing with bungling suitors competing for Penny's affections.
