Zuleyka Silver joins Y&R in the role of a new high-powered executive

The Young and the Restless is bringing another power player to Genoa City. Actress Zuleyka Silver will appear as big-time executive Audra Charles.

Move over, New York City, London, and Singapore. The Young and the Restless' Genoa City is now the hot spot for business! There are quite a few global power players who call GC home, and one more is about to her hang her hat -- or possibly stilettos? -- in the small Wisconsin town.

The CBS soap opera has cast actress Zuleyka Silver in the new role of Audra Charles, a high-powered executive who's lured to Genoa City by one of the town's business icons. Y&R has yet to release any further storyline details, but fans can look forward to watching Audra in action beginning Friday, September 23.
