The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Who Is Mari Jo Mason?
Mari Jo was introduced into the show through her connection to characters who were twins. Blade and Rick Bladeson (both played by Michael Tylo, who died in the fall of 2021) were both romantically involved with Mari Jo. Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) was married to Blade, who was eventually killed in an accident. Rick left town and was never heard from again.
As an aside, Tylo was the one-time husband of Hunter Tylo (who played Taylor Hares on sister show, The Bold and the Beautiful, for many years). Yes, it was and remains a small daytime world.
