When Bianca first arrived back in the square she was homeless with her four children , they had been evicted from their home and were living on the streets.
Bianca went back home to the square when the authorities took their kids and she faught like hell to get them back. With the help of her grandmother and her ex husband Ricky Bianca was able to provide a home , and clothes on the kids backs as well as new shoes on their feet.
They endured some stress when it came out that her step daughter Whitney was being abused by Bianca's boyfriend Tony and that was another road block Bianca had to knock down and show Whitney that she was there for her and would support her.
Through out 2010 and 2011 Bianca and Ricky managed to keep the kids happy and give them what they need , but in 2012 Bianca lost her job, she and Ricky split up and now she is struggling yet again to take care of her kids.
