The character is just one of many familiar faces that will be showing up to mark the very special milestone.
Woodland made appearances on the NBC sudser SUNSET BEACH and ABC’s PORT CHARLES but really hit it big when she joined Y&R in March of 2000. She left the soap in 2005, but not before earning a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series in 2004. After her husband, Bobby Marsino, was killed, Brittany was last seen moving to New York City with their son, Joshua.

As to what could be going on that brings all these old friends and family back to Genoa City, there are no details, but odds are it’s going to be something very special!
