Vienna Hyatt’s life became interesting while she was on an ocean cruise with her paramour, Simon Frasier.Vienna was a wealthy aristocrat from Sweden (originally Norway), while Simon was a seemingly wealthy man; he and Vienna had a very simple relationship based on sex. They each loved money and fun. However, at some point during their trip, Simon stopped catering to Vienna’s every whim and began disappearing. Bored, Vienna struck up a flirtatious friendship with the working class Mike Kasnoff. Apparently, the reason for Simon’s disappearing acts was Katie Peretti—Mike’s wife and Simon’s ex. Katie was distressed about seeing Simon and warned Vienna that Simon was after her diamonds but Vienna scoffed at the suggestion since Simon was wealthy himself. Later, when Simon and Katie wound up missing, Mike was frantic while Vienna simply figured they ran off together. Soon, the pair was found on a “deserted” island. Immediately after, Vienna and Simon went their separate ways—with him following the Kasnoffs to Oakdale, Illinois. Months later, Vienna arrived in Oakdale, ostensibly to attend a charity event at Memorial Hospital. Arriving with the Crown Prince of Leonia, Vienna was interested in how Simon was doing and made no secret of her desire to reunite. Though Simon seemed interested, Vienna couldn’t help but notice that his thoughts were elsewhere and asked Katie if Simon was in love with someone else. Katie confirmed it and pointed out the woman—a vivacious blonde named Carly Tenney. Not long after the charity event, Vienna was informed by police officer Jack Snyder that there was suspicion that Simon switched her diamond necklace with a fake one. Wanting Simon back, Vienna covered for him by lying that she had the diamond the whole time and it was in a vault in Leonia. She then went to Simon and threatened to call the Prince and inform him that his jewelry was a fake unless Simon reunited with her. Simon ultimately refused to dump Carly and Vienna reported the threat to the police. Not long after, the Prince dumped Vienna and Simon and Carly went on the lam.

Staying in Oakdale hoping to snare Mike, Vienna wrangled an invitation to stay at the Snyder Farm. .After the holidays, she learned that she had been banished from Leonia completely and asked Jack if she could stay at the farm longer. Jack complied as long as Vienna helped out. Also at the farm was Jack’s wayward brother, Brad, and the two immediately hit it off. However, Vienna made it clear that the brother she was interested in was Jack. Brad understood and offered to help her make Jack jealous. Meanwhile, Jack suggested that it was time for Vienna to move into the Lakeview. In the meantime, the ploy to make Jack jealous ultimately did not work and Vienna quickly dropped Brad and found love with Henry Coleman. When Vienna and Henry became engaged, Brad's ego was bruised. Later, when Henry caught Brad and Vienna in seemingly compromising position, he canceled the wedding. Despite everyone's assurances that nothing happened, Henry's insecurities got the best of him and he decided it was best to cancel the wedding before he ultimately got hurt. Feeling badly, Brad tried to convince Henry to at least talk to Vienna but he wouldn’t. Dejected, Vienna tried to seduce Brad but he turned her away since he didn't want to hurt her. Weeks later, the necklace that was stolen from Vienna was mysteriously returned; she was now free to leave Oakdale. Though fear almost prevented Henry from telling Vienna how he felt, at the last minute, he proclaimed his love and they reunited. However, without the Prince's money, Vienna had to live within a limited budget, something it took some time to do.

In the meantime, Henry won Al’s Diner at a high stakes poker game. Though he was prepared to sell it, Vienna suggested they keep it but make it a healthier place to eat..Months later, things hit a temporary snag when Henry lost the diner in a poker game to a nefarious character named Gray Girard. Vienna was furious that Henry would gamble away the diner and Gray offered to give it back—in exchange for one night with Vienna. While Henry was appalled at the offer, Vienna didn’t see a problem. To her, it would just be meaningless sex. At the same time, Gray tempted Vienna with expensive jewelry. Though Vienna returned the expensive bracelet to Gray, at Henry’s insistence, it seemed that she missed that kind of life. The loss of the diner caused a rift in Henry and Vienna’s relationship which increased when Vienna saw Henry in the arms of another woman. Hurt, Vienna ran right into Gray’s arms and the two made love. Though Gray tempted Vienna with thoughts of trips to Europe and expensive jewelry, Vienna could not stop thinking about Henry. Later, Brad told Vienna that she was mistaken about what she saw. In an effort to clear Brad’s nephew of murder, Henry was scamming the woman to get her to confess. Horrified at her error, Vienna wanted to meet with Henry but he left her a note stating that he’d left town. However, when Henry returned he revealed that he had been kidnapped! Though he blamed Gray, someone else confessed to the crime. Though Henry begged Vienna for another chance, Vienna was uncertain. After all, Henry had made no move to marry her and already stated that he did not want children.

Vienna began to wonder if a life jet-setting with Gray was preferable to a romance in limbo with Henry. Ultimately, Vienna chose love over money and she and Henry reunited at the church where they almost married. Not long after, Gray was revealed to be a dangerous man when he tried to kill the Hughes family. Luckily, Gray was shot dead by Lt. Margo Hughes in an effort to save her family. With Gray’s death, all of his assets were seized by the government except for the diner—which was returned to Henry and Vienna. Months later, thanks to attorney Bonnie McKechnie, Henry and Vienna received a large settlement from Gray’s estate for their pain and suffering.

Henry knew exactly what to do with the money—buy into Metro. Unfortunately for Henry, Vienna objected to the idea since she wanted to concentrate all of their energies on the diner. Though Vienna was content with the diner, Henry was not—he wanted the glitz and glamour of the nightclub for himself as well as Vienna. When Henry attempted to trick Vienna into thinking that buying Metro was a good idea, she became upset and left town in a huff. Soon after, Carly finally relented let Henry buy into the nightclub. A few weeks later, a contrite Vienna returned and apologized for her resistance to owning the bar. However, she was extremely displeased to find Bonnie working there.
