The Young and the Restless character Chelsea Lawson has renewed an old relationship now that she's back with Adam Newman. In real life, Chelsea's portrayer, Melissa ClaireEgan, is going in a new direction -- with her hair! The Young and the Restless, hair's the thing View this post on Instagram Instagram PostClaire began an Instagram post: "2025 has been the Year of the Snake, time to SHED BABY!!! What will YOU be shedding as this year closes?!🐍 (special thanks to my wonderful hair babes, @whitneycolleen & @bre_lynn_hair 💞)."Not surprisingly, Egan's new look is being met with rave reviews and positive feedback. "The most beautiful woman!!" posted Michelle Stafford (Phyllis). Egan's pal Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe; one of Y&R's directors) summed up her thoughts in one word: "Cutttttteeee!!!" Added Tracey Bregman (Lauren): "Love it!!!" Lauralee Bell (Christine) posted, "Too cute." Eileen Davidson (Ashley) wrote: "Gorgeous!!!!!" Susan Walters (Diane) chimed in with: "So sassy!!!!!" Y&R's costume designer, Mandi Line, wrote, "Obsessed!!!" The Young and the Restless, Chelsea's journeyAdam and Chelsea on The Young and the Restless | Image: JPIViewers learned that Chelsea, a con artist, had been hired by Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to seduce Billy (then, Billy Miller; now, Jason Thompson) away from Victoria (Amelia Heinle). Chelsea became pregnant with Billy's son, Johnny, and gave him to Billy and Victoria to raise. Arguably, Chelsea's OTP (One True Pairing) is Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). The couple has a son, Connor (Judah Mackey), and Adam and Chelsea reconnected as parents as they struggled to help Connor deal with his OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). A while back, Chelsea was with Billy, and Adam was with Sally (Courtney Hope), but they couldn't deny their attraction. After Chelsea and Adam got back together, Adam and Sally connected. Victor was concerned with Chelsea being, perhaps, too much of a moral compass for Adam. Victor needs his son to be ready to strike against his enemies, including Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). Alas, that list of Victor's also includes "Billy Boy Abbott." Chelsea has mostly sided with Adam when Victor's given her an assignment, which has pleased Victor. He has not let her loyalty to the Newman clan go unnoticed.The question now is what Victor will think of Chelsea's new hairdo when he sees it? No word yet on when Egan's new hairstyle will debut on Y&R on-screen. Stay tuned!Catch all-new episodes of The Young and the Restless weekdays on CBS and Paramount Plus.
