After having second thoughts, Sharon tried to clean up her mess, but Heather (Vail Bloom) arrived to stop her in her tracks.

In true soap fashion, the two women faced off with Heather being presumably dead.

Speaking with TV Insider, Vail opened up about learning of her character’s timely demise. It was a shock, to say the least.

“I had about three weeks’ notice. It’s always surprising when you get that news, but you’re aware that that can happen. That’s just the world of soaps,” she shared. “But any time you get news like that, it’s shocking because you love the character and it was such a beautiful, long run woven in and out through a couple decades.”

Despite her sadness over leaving, Vail knows this storyline is going to be good and will have Y&R fans feeling all the feels. According to the actress, it’s got a little something for everyone.

We all know that characters don’t always stay dead in the soap world. How Heather’s demise was written makes bringing her back in the future possible, and Vail is all in for that to happen.

“I think resurrection is always cool. I’m a huge fan of resurrection. I think what’s really fun about daytime as opposed to maybe other formats is you can experience things beyond your wildest dreams. I would be open to it if the fans really wanted to see more of Heather again,” Vail expressed to TV Insider.
