Young and Restless character history:

Esther has been Katherine Chancellor maid since 1985. She was also a trained alcohol abuse counselor. She once had a one night stand with a plumber named "Tiny", with whom she had a daughter, Kate Tina Valentine, who hasn't been seen since. The occasional reference was made to Kate being in a boarding school.

Esther was also indirectly responsible for the death of Katherine's husband, Rex Sterling when she answered a personal ad and met Norman Peterson, a notorious con man. In an effort to impress Norman, she posed as lady of the manor, and Rex and Katherine went along with it and disguised themselves as her servants. Norman coerced Esther into convincing Katherine to include her in her will and marry him. A suspicious Katherine and Rex arranged a fake wedding. Then, not content to wait for Katherine to die to inherit her riches, Rex caught Norman breaking into the estate safe. Rex was shot and killed in the altercation, leaving Katherine devastated. Norman was then arrested for murder and Esther has since been forgiven and named in Katherine's will.

It was revealed in 2008 that Chloe Mitchell is her long-lost daughter, Kate. Chloe is pregnant with Jill's grandchild. Esther then started attempting a normal relationship with her daughter, but Chloe/Kate is frequently embarrassed by her mother's status as a maid and her lack of bashfulness regarding the chosen career. At Cane Ashby's yearning, they are getting somewhat close again.

Esther and Miguel need more love! They've been around for decades. Let's get them a decent storyline.

I find her to be as annoying as mosquitoes. She adds about as much life to the show as stale coffee. Get rid of her and her useless role. The last thing that Katherine needs is a can't-shut-the-hell-up nosey, interfering, irritating, blithering idiot hanging around the place. Aaaaaaargh. I feel better now.
