Bianca Montgomery-Eden Riegel

After a near fatal bout with toxemia, Erica gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Bianca. Soon thereafter, Erica married Bianca's father, Travis Montgomery. In 1990, Bianca fell deathly ill with Reyes Syndrome. Travis and Erica had already separated at this time and Bianca desperately wanted her mommy and daddy back together, as did Travis! Bianca recovered and her ordeal brought Erica and Travis closer. Erica and Travis were then married for a second time, but Erica was soon taking up with Travis' brother, Jackson. Bianca wasn't pleased when she saw a kiss between Erica and Jack and she set her "Jack" doll on fire, which almost burnt the entire house down! In 1991, Travis fought Erica for sole custody of Bianca after finding his wife in bed with Jack. When Jack refused to lie for Erica on the witness stand, she lost custody of her precious daughter. Travis then took Bianca to his new home in Seattle. Erica and Bianca remained close, however, as Bianca spent many vacations in Pine Valley and Erica made frequent trips to Seattle. In 1996, Bianca was kidnapped by the evil Jonathan Kinder, who wanted revenge against Erica. Luckily, Bianca was rescued by Erica and Janet before any harm came to her. Erica was sent to prison for kidnapping Edmund's baby in 1997 and Travis told Erica that she could have no contact with Bianca until the young girl turned eighteen. Bianca then ran away and went to Pine Valley to visit Erica in jail. Travis was furious but his anger turned to worry when Bianca fainted. Bianca was diagnosed with anorexia and Erica was desperate to get out of prison to help save her daughter's life. After an emotional plea from Edmund, Erica was released from prison and she and Bianca were reunited. Travis was set on taking Bianca back to Seattle, but allowed her to make her own decision. Bianca then decided to stay in Pine Valley with Erica and she started treatment for her anorexia. Bianca eventually sought treatment at a specialized facility and overcame her illness. Bianca then returned to Seattle. Now, a teenaged Bianca has come back to Pine Valley and it is clear that she isn't a chip off the old block. Whereas Erica craves the spotlight, Bianca is more comfortable not being the center of attention. Bianca reluctantly agreed to let Erica throw a party in her honor, but beat a hasty retreat when she was thrust into the spotlight. Bianca has a heavy load on her shoulders as she is keeping a very private secret. Bianca is gay and is fearful not only of having this fact exposed, but also that Erica might not love her the same way if she were to find out. Luckily, Bianca found a good friend in Leo and he has promised to support her and keep her secret.
