What was Yvonne Zima's character and storyline on The Young and the Restless?

Yvonne Zima was first introduced as Daisy Thompkins (then Carter) on The Young and the Restless in 2009 as a friend of Abby Newman.

She worked at Fenmore's Boutique during her high school years in Genoa City. Originally, she came to town to seek revenge for the killing of her mother Shiela Carter and caused quite a bit of chaos in that pursuit.

Daisy then found herself attracted to Daniel Romalotti, and slept with him after drugging him. A while later, she announced to Daniel that she was pregnant with his child.

Daisy was sent to jail for her crime, and her baby Lucy was left in the custody of the Romalotti family.

After Daisy's release from prison, there was a prolonged custody battle over Lucy. This set off a series of events that led to Daisy's disappearance from Genoa City.

Later, Sharon Newman was checking into Fairview psychiatric hospital when she met Daisy in the waiting room of the institution. But when Sharon relayed this news back to the city, no one could find Daisy again since she checked out of Fairview.

Since then, Yvonne Zima has not reprised her role as Daisy on the soap, and the end of the character's story still remains shrouded in mystery.
