Grace Turner is a fictional character from the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. Originated by actress Josie Davis, the role has been most-recognized by actress Jennifer Gareis.
The role was originated by Josie Davis, who appeared from June 1996 to February 25, 1997. Jennifer Gareis then notably took over the role until November 22, 1999, with additional guest appearances in 2000 and 2002. Gareis then reprised her role again from January to August 13, 2004. On August 19, 2014, over a decade later, Gareis returned to the series for a guest appearance, which she was required to keep a secret. Having since joined the show's sister soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful as Donna Logan which tapes across the hall, Gareis stated, "Y&R was like my home away from home. Being able to go back to that was awesome. It was the best." Due to the positive response to her reprisal, Gareis was offered to return months later, and appeared once again on November 13, 2014.
On-Air On-Soaps described Grace as a "sexy bad girl".The Daily Courier characterized her as "Frisky". Gareis has stated that "I love playing bad girls", explaining: "It's just so much fun because you never know what they're going to do next! They're always conniving and manipulative."
Grace was first introduced as Sharon Newman's best friend, who had moved from Madison, Wisconsin, to Genoa City with her boyfriend, Tony Viscardi. Upon learning that Sharon and her husband, Nick Newman's newborn baby, Noah, was going to die, Grace and Tony decided to find Sharon's first child, a daughter she had given up at birth, to ease Sharon's pain. They finally tracked down the 5-year-old girl, Cassie, and learned her adoptive mother, Alice Johnson, had left Cassie with her adoptive Grandmother, Millie. Realizing that she was barely able to take care of herself, let alone a young child, Millie eventually let Grace and Tony take Cassie back to Genoa City with them. Noah unexpectedly survived, and Grace decided to keep Cassie's identity a secret from Nick and Sharon. Tony reluctantly agreed to help her.
