Jennifer Landon to join The Young and the Restless

Former As The World Turns actress Jennifer Landon is to join the cast of CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless.

Heather Stevens is heading back to Genoa City but she’ll be looking a bit different as the character has been re-cast with actress Jennifer Landon taking over the role. Landon is no stranger to the world of daytime soaps having played Gwen Munson in As The World Turns from 2005 until its demise in 2010.

The role of Heather was most recently played by Eden Riegel between 2010 and 2011; Riegel was best known for her role of Bianca Montgomery in ABC soap All My Children which she left in January 2010 and later the same year the character was re-cast.

Jennifer Landon will make her on-screen debut as Heather in early June.
