Another day, another reality TV/soap opera connection.

So far this week, we've reported on Jillian Michaels guest starring on Days of Our Lives; and the cast of Beauty and the Geek visiting The Young and the Restless.

Now comes word that YaYa DaCosta, the Ivy League-educated runner-up on Cycle 3 of America's Next Top Model, has landed the contract role of Cassandra Foster, adopted daughter of Angie (Debbi Morgan) and Jesse look-a-like Jacob (both Darnell Williams) on All My Children.

Her first air date is set for April 25.
