Two years ago, The Young and the Restless’s Melissa Claire Egan pulled out all the stops when it came to acting. She took Chelsea from a messy mama to the edge of sanity and back. The scene of her standing on top of a building ready to jump still haunts her fans…and it’s one she will never forget either.
An Important Moment in The Young and the Restless History
This week, Melissa Claire Egan took to her Instagram to look back on the moment Chelsea nearly took her life. Not only did she mark the episode’s anniversary, but she implored fans struggling to reach out for help and provide resources.

While Chelsea made it through her struggles and came out the other side, the road to recovery was not easy. And, in the past few months, the character was also dealing with her son’s struggles as well.
