Lisa Mansfield

Lisa Mansfield (formerly Carlton) was a fictional character in the American soap opera "The Young and the Restless". She was played by actress Lynne Harbaugh from 1988 to 1989.

Brad's first wife

In 1988, Lisa, the psychotic first wife of Brad Carlton (Don Diamont), resurfaced. Brad had married her before his arrival in Genoa City, and divorced her after her disapproving father paid him a large sum of money to do so. Lisa offered Brad, who was now married to Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland), a lucrative job in Chicago. When Brad instead accepted a job offer from his ex, Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman), Lisa became obsessed with Brad and kidnapped him. For weeks, Lisa held Brad captive in a cage in a deserted lodge. Traci, thinking that Brad had abandoned her, suffered a miscarriage. This caused her to take comfort with her former lover Tim Sullivan (Scott Palmer).

In early 1989, Lauren was on a ski holiday with Jack Abbott (Terry Lester), and spotted Lisa. Suspecting that Lisa was somehow linked to Brad's mysterious disappearance, Lauren followed her back to the cabin where she was holding Brad. Lisa spotted Lauren and threw her into the cage with Brad, intending to gas them both to death. Fortunately, Jack, who had tracked Lauren to the cabin, rescued them. Lisa escaped, and has not been seen since.
