Brittany Hodges is a fictional character from the American CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. Brittany was introduced on December 1, 1999, by former executive producer Edward J. Scott.[1] The role was originated by Vanessa Lee Evigan who departed on February 25, 2000, and was replaced by Lauren Woodland, who debuted on March 7. Brittany's storylines included relationships with Raul Guittierez (David Lago) and J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill), as well as marriage to Bobby Marsino (John Enos III) and giving birth to their child, Joshua. Woodland said that the romance with Raul changed the character who was previously manipulative and sexual.

Brittany began working at Bobby's club as a stripper and later a singer, for which she created the stage alter-ego Marilyn. Woodland enjoyed working on this storyline because she is an entertainer in real life. She eventually married Bobby and they had a child together. Bobby died in an accident and Brittany left town on November 2, 2005. The character was well-received; three years after her departure, Luke Kerr of Daytime Confidential said that he missed when the character was on, writing: "It's really too bad that Lauren wasn't snapped up by another soap after leaving Y&R."[2]
