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.
The Bold and the Beautiful
Upon its debut as the replacement of former soap opera "Capitol" in the CBS Daytime lineup, "The Bold and the Beautiful" ended eighth in the final year ratings. Initially CBS' lowest-rated soap, its numbers were still respectable and began to climb. By 1992, after a successful crossover involving villain Sheila Carter from "The Young and the Restless", it had climbed to third. By the mid-to-late 1990s, following yet another crossover, it moved up to second and has consistently remained there since. Throughout the 2000s (decade), "The Bold and the Beautiful" and all the other remaining network daytime dramas have witnessed a steady erosion of viewers, mainly due to vastly altered viewing habits induced by cable networks and alternative genres such as reality, court shows, and talk shows on minor network affiliates.
