“Viewers don’t see as much of Gloria on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS these days, but because of her outsized personality, even her smallest scenes make an indelible impact! The character was first introduced in April of 2004 and was played by KNOTS LANDING star Joan Van Ark. However, by January of 2005, she was replaced by seasoned daytime actress Judith Chapman. And over the years, Gloria has gotten into no end of trouble!
Kevin Fisher found his mother living in Detroit and brought Gloria back to Genoa City to live with him and her other son, Michael Baldwin. She very quickly set her sights on John Abbott and they returned from a cruise as man and wife. Her ex, Tom Fisher, followed her to town and blackmailed her into stealing money from her new husband. Tom also teamed up with Sheila Carter to hurt Michael and Lauren on their wedding day. John eventually shot Tom dead, and ended up in prison.”
