🌹 A Pillar in Genoa City
Since first appearing in 1983, Lauren Fenmore became one of Genoa City’s most enduring and multifaceted characters.

In recent storylines, as chaos unfolded around the enigmatic Aristotle Dumis (Cain Ashby), Lauren once again reminded viewers why she remained at the show’s emotional core. Whether offering strategic insight in corporate wars or quiet wisdom over coffee with her husband Michael Baldwin, Lauren always led with compassion — and clarity.
