‘The Young and the Restless’: Melissa Claire Egan On Chelsea’s Next Big Move (VIDEO)

Melissa Claire Egan in a wheelchair in Young and the Restless

[SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead or watch the video interview until you’ve watched the March 5 episode of The Young and the Restless. Major spoilers ahead.]

Soap operas excel at storylines that deliciously build up over time. And the best ones, when they come to a head, open up new avenues of drama, making you eager to know what’s next. That’s where we find ourselves after Friday’s episode of CBS’s The Young and the Restless.

Viewers have known for awhile that Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), following her stroke, has been immobile and unable to speak or even convey emotion as she sits in her wheelchair. But, as she’s watched her fiance Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and his ex, Sharon (Sharon Case) get closer, Chelsea has also been slowly regaining her strength — and today was the day she finally stood up out of that chair.

Now we want to know what happens next, and TV Insider had a chance to talk to Egan about just that, including who Chelsea’s targets of revenge will be.

    I think sally should get what she deserves & jack needs to stop acting like such a fool. No explanation about chance is ridiculous.

    Courtney Hope( Sally ) is a great actress with charisma .Older men and younger women work on shows."Another World's " ,Mac and Rachel became a very popular couple.The writing for Sally and Jack is very good.There's a reason why the writers are pairing them .Probably because - Jack's love and support is going to make her a better person.

    Tired of the same stories over and over. Huge mistake with the departure of Chance. Could have been a great storyline-so many options. For me that was the last straw. Was watching during my lunch time, but slowly stopped watching. Writers need to be refreshed.

    Take some of the old off and bring in the new. Chance should come back take Kyle and summer and Chelsea and Chelsea off sicken.

    I don't like the fact that Chance has left the show. Abby finally had her 'happily ever after only to have it ripped away.

    Taking Chance out of Abby's life was so cruel, they are a great couple. You have ruined the show. You need to bring him back, so many people are

    very disappointed with how you took him out with no explanation. You are definitely loosing another viewer.

    He is a great guy for Abby. She deserves happiness after all these years & you decide to get rid of the best guy ever in her life. Her real life husband, during Covid was so so, but definitely not our Chance, he was the best.

    And get Adam away from Sharon, now you are trying to wreck her marriage.

    I hope Chelsea destroys Adam & takes Victor down as well.

    Why are you having a story about Chance and Abby when its all over. I fast forward that story line because it is beyond Stupid and bringing in all these people in the story is totally not fair to these actors to go along with with this FARCE

    I have heard that Danny was anti-mask, which could put the rest of the cast and crew at risk. Sounds like it wasn't the character they were getting rid of, just the actor.
