For a while now, The Young and the Restless has been missing a loud, boisterous and slightly dramatic presence, and in the episode airing on November 22, this presence known as Gloria (Judith Chapman) returns.
The last viewers heard, Gloria was locked away in a Singapore prison and Michael (Christian LeBlanc) had to leave Genoa City to go rescue her. We assumed it was a big emergency, as Michael left while in the middle of defending Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) who was knee-deep in a legal situation of her own having faked her death and killed Jeremy Stark (James Hyde).
