Back in 2008, things were looking hopeful for Vail Bloom's career. She was receiving acclaim for her portrayal of Heather Stevens on "The Young and the Restless," as she had just been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series. As her first nomination, it was an exciting time. Sadly, she didn't win the award, but she did gain a special connection to the actress who did.

In the same year, Jennifer Landon was nominated for the same award for her role as Gwen Norbeck on "As the World Turns." She had made quite the impression as the angsty teen, and ended up winning the award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series. She beat out the other nominees for the award, including Bloom. Ironically, in a few years, Landon would go on to take over Bloom's role of Heather Stevens on "Y&R," if only for a few months. As two successful young women in the show business of soap operas, they were bound to cross paths at one point or another.
