While working together, Jordan and Rafe grew close and eventually fell for one another. However, Jordan wasn't exactly who she claimed to be. It was later revealed that Jordan and Ben were the children of a man named Clyde Weston, an abusive man who had ruined his family and forced his children to flee. Jordan and Rafe later split and the character left Salem in 2015, per Soaps in Depth.

However, Jordan returned in 2019 and was much changed. She had suffered a mental breakdown and had kidnapped Ciara Brady in hopes of keeping her away from Ben. Jordan was later killed off, but made a return in July 2020 as a ghost when Ben had a nightmare about his late sister.

While many may remember Stause for her time on "DOOL," she also previously appeared on the popular soap "The Young and the Restless" as well.

"It's super fun to play this character because there are similarities. I would like to think I'm not as much of a troublemaker, but it sure is fun to play one!" she added.

Bethany came to Genoa City with ties to Billy Abbot, whom she had previously worked for at On The Boulevard. She was also revealed to be harboring romantic feelings for Billy (via Soaps). However, her arc was a short one, lasting only 10-episodes, per Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
