CBS’ top-rated soap The Young and the Restless snagged another favorite from All My Children, which is moving to the internet.

EW has learned exclusively that Melissa Claire Egan, who played Annie Novak McDermott Lavery Chandler on the ABC sudser for four years, will now show up in Genoa City as a mysterious woman named Chelsea who is connected to Billy’s arrest in Myanmar.

Her contract role will begin Nov. 11.

Egan left AMC earlier this year but returned at the end like many ex-stars before it was canceled.

She has my sympathies.

Cool hope she survives MAB.

This is a shame because Egan is talented and is being wasted on this show. I would rather see her back at AMC online, on B&B or even Days for that matter.

She's working with BM again LOL

Interesting.

Perhaps Chelsea is her real name and her alter ego named Annie wreaked havoc in Pine Valley, while being married to a Chandler and she supposedly ran over her brother Richie who bears a striking resemblance to Billy Abbott.

How does she debut today and this news is just coming out now?

I prefered her to go to the other Bell soap for fangurlish reasons.

I will have to start watching YR now but I don't know how much of Chompers I can take.

OMG. Poor Melissa. I would say poor Y&R veterans, but I mostly don't like half the cast left on the show anyway.

That part was in regards to Debbi Morgan

DAMN! This is one hire that would actually make me want to suffer through this dreadful show.

I thought she was trying to move out of soaps? Best of luck to her regardless

soaps pay the bills and its not like she booked a pilot or movie role since she left AMC

I guess she's not getting married or didn't get married in Vegas like I had speculated.
