Mariah Copeland is a fictional character from the American soap opera, The Young and the Restless, portrayed by Camryn Grimes. Introduced by executive producer Jill Farren Phelps, the character made her first appearance on January 27, 2014. Grimes had previously played the role of Cassie Newman from 1997 to 2005, when the character was killed off.
Mariah first appears in Genoa City, hired by Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to gaslight his former daughter-in-law Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) by posing as the ghost of Sharon's deceased daughter, Cassie, with whom she bears a remarkable resemblance. When the truth about her association with Victor is revealed, Sharon becomes drawn to a troubled Mariah, whom she moves into her home. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Mariah is the notorious ex-girlfriend of Tyler Michaelson (Redaric Williams), who stalked him and his girlfriend Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway). Mariah is also linked to cult leader Ian Ward (Ray Wise), who has been harassing Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). While living with Sharon and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), Cassie's adoptive father, Mariah develops an infatuation with Nick. It is soon discovered that Mariah is actually Cassie's twin sister and the daughter Sharon did not know she had. Her birth was kept secret, following Ian's arrangements for Mariah to be stolen at birth, and acted as a father figure to her for years.
