Brief Character History
Layla came to town to spend some time with her older sister Evangeline, and immediately got a job working at Capricorn for Antonio Vega. She soon realized that Antonio was in trouble -- he desperately wanted to keep custody of his daughter, Jamie, but his girlfriend, Jessica's, frequent absences and sketchy personal history of late were hurting his case. Layla and Antonio hatched a plan where Layla would pretend to be Antonio's girlfriend to increase his chances of gaining custody which worked very well, as Antonio was awarded custody. Although things went nowhere between Layla and Antonio, she soon became devoted to his daughter, Jamie, who began looking upon her as sort of a maternal figure. Antonio and Layla were soon over altogether, even though she continued working at Capricorn and gained a new best friend in Adriana Cramer. She began a flirtation with Vincent Jones, an old friend of assistant district attorney Hugh Hughes, but despite falling for him, she ended things with him after finding out that he had been behind Cristian losing a big fight.
