MAB is fighting breast cancer, lots of healing prayers to her! I don't wish that on anyone

The PSA was on at the end of today’s episode for those wondering.

I have not watched in ages. Maybe just a minute or two but I couldn’t name a story on this show - maybe back to when Dina left, saw some when Robert Newman was on but didn’t tune in regularly. I saw today’s show and have to say - impressive performances by Chelsea (MCE) and Billy (Jason).  I’ve never cared for him as Billy and Chelsea has given me more pains than I can remember. But the scene today on the ledge were well done, well written and acted. I will likely tune in again now. It’s one thing about Y&R that has always been problematic for me - I never cared about the characters really. Suddenly I care about Chelsea again, and maybe even Billy.

I read the story over on Soap Central, I do wish her the best and it sounds like she was in good spirits from the article I hope she beats it!

Oh definitely both Thompson and MCE rose to the occasion. Most of the cast I know can act well and have great moments, but the years of incompetence in the writing department, miscasts, and overall lack of any drama definitely has had a lot of the cast not even trying to save the mediocre material they’re given.

Yeah. I've been rolling my eyes at Chelesa for a while now, but I cannot say that MCE isn't acting her butt off right now. 

I tuned in for the Chelsea scenes, MCE nailed it.

I will try and look it up, but I’m glad to hear these Chelsea scenes are playing better than the ones where she broke down with Victor after she was outed as the one who poisoned Rey. Those were a mess. MCE is extremely talented in spite of her disaster of a character.

This storyline has been, and continues to be, one of the most humbling and important experiences of my life. I’m grateful and honored to be able to tell this story, hopefully in a respectful and responsible way. Mental health is so important and depression is something that affects so many, and does not discriminate. Please know you are loved and not alone. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress or experiencing any thoughts of suicide please call 988 or text SAVE to 741741 to talk to a counselor for free. Or visit save.org. ❤️

I wish I cared about Chelsea but I will say MCE is doing a great job so is Jason Thompson.

Yeah, MCE has been selling it and it's been a slllloooooow (not in a good way, but no less true) descent for her. So not completely out of left field and yet...why this character who is already annoying? Such a mixed bag.
