A fan of the series and wildly popular supercouple Luke Spencer and Laura Webber and Genie Francis, Taylor called then-Executive Producer Gloria Monty in 1981 and asked for a cameo role.[2] She was cast as Helena, the vengeful widow of villain Mikkos Cassadine (John Colicos), who had died at the climax of that summer's popular "Ice Princess" storyline.[1][2][4] Arriving on the canvas on November 10, 1981, Mrs. Mikkos Cassadine sends her Emissary to all the prominent citizens of PC with invitations to attend a reception she is giving. Luke and Laura's November 16, 1981 wedding, featuring Taylor's Helena, was watched by 30 million viewers and remains the highest-rated hour in American soap opera history.[2][4][5] Taylor's last appearance as Helena aired on November 19, 1981. Though gone, the character was mentioned several times in her absence until Dimitra Arliss appeared briefly as the character in 1996, Sad to hear this news, GOD bless HER family.
