Young and Restless character history:

Best friends Sabrina Costelana and Victoria Newman met when they both attended the Guggenheim Program in Florence, Italy. Sabrina was getting her Masters in Art History and Victoria was an undergrad student. They met again and were roommates in Paris where Sabrina was the Art Curator at the Pompidou museum. Victoria eventually returned to Genoa City, but she and Sabrina would meet up again in Florence years later when Victoria left Newman Enterprises. This time around, Sabrina was working with private collectors procuring artwork and Victoria was teaching art at a convent school.

In 2008, with plans of making a new beginning in New York City as a Consulting Private Curator, Sabrina stopped in Genoa City to check in on Victoria, who had just come out of a months-long coma. Sabrina had just broken up with her lover, Phillipe, a talented artist she placed in an art show only to have him dump her afterward. Phillipe now claims to want her back, calling often and saying he made a lot of mistakes. Victoria, newly married and with a new baby, persuaded Sabrina to live at Newman Ranch during her stay. Sabrina began spending a lot of time in the company of Victor Newman, who was recently divorced from his wife, Nikki, and was living alone at the Newman ranch. They began speaking French to each other and shared their love of art. About the time Sabrina tried to tell Victoria of her growing romantic interest in her father, Victoria told her how much she hoped her parents would reconcile for the umpteeth time.

Though her art preference was Modern where his was Classic, Sabrina convinced Victor to invest in Modern art after a trip to Los Angeles in which Victor wooed and won her. On returning to Genoa City, Victor decided to open the city's first art museum in the ground floor of a building Nick owned...a building on which Victor just happened to own the mortgage. The building also headquartered the Restless Style magazine on an upper floor. Sabrina decided she had to tell her friend Victoria that she and Victor were having an affair. Victoria was aghast, called Sabrina an opportunist and kicked her out of her house.

Sabrina agreed to an article in the new magazine venture of Jack Abbott, Nicholas Newman, Sharon Abbott and Phyllis Newman. The article was to be approved by Victor and Sabrina and show her in a good light. However, Jack was intent on selling more magazine copies. So he got in contact with sources, including Sabrina's recent ex-boyfriend, and made changes that portrayed her as a woman who would do anything to get ahead--including sexual favors. Sabrina was livid and embarrassed over the article, and especially angry at Victoria and her accusations. However, she did not let it get to her and she held her head up in Genoa City.

She was involved in a car accident along with David Chow. The doctors at the hospital, including the experts brought in by Attorney Michael Baldwin, said she did not have much time to live. She needed a liver transplant, for hers was lacerated, but there were more needy and longtime donors ahead of her. Her organs were failing. At the end of her life, Victoria made peace with her and they were friends again. She would tragically die just shortly after rekindling with Victoria.

Sabrina's death was no accident, for a hit was put on David's transport, courtesy of the mob.
