The actress will be going on maternity leave soon, which means Chelsea will probably leave Genoa City for a short time.

Could it be connected to Conner Newman (Judah Mackey), who seems to be slated for a mental health storyline?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Chelsea Lawson’s New Chapter

Y&R spoilers reveal that Chelsea has been through a lot, especially in the past few years. From a coma to a stroke and even a paralysis scheme, Chelsea seemed painted into a corner but always found a way back.

Then, Chelsea faced another mental health crisis. This time, Chelsea nearly jumped to her death.

Now that Chelsea is better mentally, she is focused on her next chapter. That includes her new position working side by side with Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) at Marchetti.

Y&R Spoilers – Melissa Claire Egan’s Maternity Leave

Chelsea is not pregnant but the actress who plays her is! Egan should be going on maternity leave soon. While Chelsea will be back, fans are curious to learn what her temporary exit story could be.

There has been speculation that perhaps Chelsea leaves town to take care of her mother again.

However, more recent spoilers suggest it has to do with Chelsea’s son.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Connor Newman’s Mental Health

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that Connor has gone through a really tough time lately. Connor had issues dealing with the true genetic link between himself and Johnny Abbott (Paxton Mishkind).

Connor also had issues with friends and school as well as what was happening between Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and baby Ava Spectra.

Now that the dynamics and situations are changing all around him, Chelsea’s upcoming “parenting challenge” could be connected.

It might also lead to Chelsea’s maternity exit story. Maybe Chelsea thinks that a break is what Connor needs. The two could go on vacation – just the two of them. Or perhaps Chelsea takes Connor to see his grandmother.

In any case, could this just be the beginning of Connor’s problems? Mental health stories are becoming more common in soaps, but mainly with adult characters.

So, let’s hope the soap addresses children’s mental health awareness in a sensitive and accurate light.

What do you think is Chelsea’s parenting challenge? Will this be connected to Egan’s maternity exit storyline?

    if I were Sally I would tell Nick to pi– off, they do not need to be together, she needs to be the Adam, make it happen. Nick and Victoria could fall in a pile of sh– and come out smelling like roses. make each on of them take a big fall from Victor quit picking on Adam he only tries to fit in and haters won’t let him. jealousy is awful and thats what Victoria and nick are, big cry babies always get their way.
