The Vanderpump Rules Star Who Was In The Young And The Restless
As Distractify notes, Vail Bloom was a one season wonder on "Vanderpump Rules," but she made her mark thanks to a short dalliance with resident lothario Jax Taylor (who was trying to win back ex Stassi Schroeder at the time). Bloom brought some star power to the show, since she'd already had some success in Hollywood. The Princeton graduate enjoyed a recurring role on "The Young and the Restless," as Heather Stevens, from 2007 until 2010.
Lawyer Heather was the daughter of "Y&R" stalwarts April Stevens (Cindy Eilbacher) and Paul Williams (Doug Davidson). Bloom was actually Emmy-nominated for the role, in 2008. The popular character was recast twice after she left the show, with Eden Riegel taking over until 2012, followed by Jennifer Landon after that.
However, per Radar Online, it wasn't all glamorous. Bloom also struggled during her initial time in the spotlight, admitting, "I was on 'The Young And The Restless' for just under three years, and I was starting to get into this whole like ...what seemed like the Hollywood lifestyle, and I was starting to get into a little bit of trouble with drugs."
Bloom has continued acting since saying goodbye to "Vanderpump Rules," appearing in movies like "Surviving the Wild" and "The Ghost Beyond," among others.
