According to daytimeconfidential.com, Y&R’s Melissa Claire Egan, who plays con-artist-turned-heroine Chelsea Lawson Newman, has opted to leave the show. Chelsea’s current storyline, where it appears she has been stealing and hiding money, would give the character a reason to need to skip town indefinitely. The actress started in daytime as AMC’s crazy Annie in 2006, then was hired at Y&R in 2011.
