Who’s Leaving ‘Young and the Restless’ in 2022 – Chelsea Out? Where’s Amanda & Elena?
Who’s leaving Young and the Restless in 2022? There are several cast changes ahead this year but who’s in and who’s out on the CBS soap? Let’s take a look. Is Chelsea Lawson leaving? Where are Amanda Sinclair and Elena Dawson on Y&R?
Who’s Leaving The Young and the Restless in 2022 – Chelsea Lawson Out?
The talk began a few weeks ago about Y&R troubled soul Chelsea Lawson who’s in a state of deep depression. Chelsea’s nearing rock bottom and considering suicide on the CBS soap.
That has a ton of fans asking is Melissa Claire Egan leaving The Young and the Restless. The good news is, MCE is NOT going anywhere! And neither is her alter-ego, Chelsea.
Instead, it’s a big Emmy-worthy storyline they’re giving her. On today’s US episode (November 3), Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case) get Chelsea settled in at a psych hospital.
MCE took this performance to another level. She made me forget that Chelsea Lawson is a character. She put the viewer right there with her and took us on a painful emotional journey. I’d give her a Daytime Emmy right here and now. #YR pic.twitter.com/Lq1xRcKs3I

It looks like Chelsea Lawson checked into Fairview on Young and the Restless where Adam Newman, Sharon, and others spent some time before. Look for tons more scenes with Chelsea as Egan acts her tail off with this mental health plot.
Who Else is out at Y&R? Where is Amanda Sinclair?
Another name we’ve heard as possibly exiting the CBS soap is Mishael Morgan as Amanda Sinclair. If you didn’t know, actress Mishael Morgan doesn’t live in the US. She’s Toronto-based and has been for a while.
And she had a recent family tragedy that’s pulled her away from work at The Young and the Restless. Her brother-in-law, his wife, and their three children perished in a house fire. So, for many reasons, Morgan stepped back from Y&R.
She asked to be put onto recurring status and off contract and the CBS soap obliged. So, we’ll see a lot less of Amanda. On the recent episodes, Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) texted but heard nothing back.
We expect to see him continue in a solo story arc now that Amanda’s not going to be around much on Young and the Restless. Will he stray with Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) or perhaps his ex Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy)?
Young and the Restless Cast Exits – Is Elena Dawson Gone for Good?
Another Young and the Restless cast member fans worry about is Brytni Sarpy as Elena Dawson’s in Baltimore looking for a job with plans to move. But she’s back on the November 3 US episode.
Yet, things look dire for her and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). She’s stunned to hear from him that he took Sally Spectra’s (Courtney Hope) CEO job at Newman Media. And Elena knows it’s a bribe.
She sees the’s still conspiring with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) after betraying his family on Young and the Restless. Elena wants to work things out with him. but Nate’s making it hard.
So, will Elena Dawson stick around Y&R? It looks like it because her social post above indicates she was still hard at work on the set of the CBS soap opera at the end of October.
We’ll have to wait and see. And look for less of Amanda. But the big concern is Melissa Claire Egan leaving the role of Chelsea Lawson. She’s not and her sad story arc continues.
