The Young and the Restless‘ Chelsea Lawson, played by Melissa Claire Egan, may not technically be a Newman right now given that she and her ex, Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), haven’t re-tied the knot. But make no mistake — Chelsea is a Newman as evidenced by her strong loyalty to the clan that’s currently down (but far from out) on the business scene in Genoa City.
For scenes last week in which she displayed grit, perseverance, and strength, TV Insider is bestowing Performer of the Week honors on Egan, who is both a fan favorite and a Daytime Emmy-nominated actress.
