Young and the Restless mourns the loss of actress Marla Adams, known for her portrayal of Dina Mergeron, the Abbott matriarch.

Adams' tenure on the show, spanning 37 years, saw her character's evolution from a socialite to a complex figure battling Alzheimer's.

Dina Mergeron's character was a cornerstone of the show, with a rich backstory involving affairs, abandonment, and eventual return to her family. Her last storyline on Young and the Restless, which ran for nearly three years, was both incredible and poignant, showcasing Adams' acting prowess.

Her portrayal of Dina's struggle with Alzheimer's was so impactful, it earned her a Daytime Emmy in 2021. Adams' passing marks the end of an era for the show; her character's compelling storylines and the actress's commanding presence will be sorely missed by fans.

The legacy of Marla Adams, born in Ocean City, New Jersey on August 28th, 1938, extends beyond Young and the Restless, with roles on Days of our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful. Despite her departure, the impact of her character, Dina Mergeron, will continue to resonate in the world of Young and the Restless.
