The Young and the Restless
With the success of another iconic character, Kimberlin Brown's Sheila Carter, Bell successfully crossed her over from "The Young and the Restless" to his second soap, "The Bold and the Beautiful", in 1992. The success of the crossover was due to the creativity of Bell, as the nefarious character of Sheila was presumed to have died in a fire on "The Young and the Restless".
Judith Chapman
She made her first appearance on "The Young and the Restless" after that, briefly subbing for Jess Walton as Jill Abbott. She joined the cast of "The Young and the Restless" full-time in January 2005, replacing Joan Van Ark in the contract role of Gloria Fisher. In March 2011, it was announced that Chapman had been taken off her contract and bumped to recurring. In October 2014, it was announced that she would make a guest appearance as Gloria on "The Bold and the Beautiful". Although she made a few more appearances on "The Young and the Restless" into early 2015, she later indicated on numerous sources, including her Facebook fan page, that she believed that she had made her final appearance on "Y&R", and that she didn't believe the show would be using the character any longer. However, in December 2016, she made a triumphant return as the character of Gloria was once again thrust into the middle of a front burner storyline.
