I like her and will watch to see what the character is all about.

Nothing against Chrishell who i’m sure will do a fine job in her new role but I would have rather seen her as a recast for maybe Paul’s daughter Heather or even Mac.

I love it so cool

Welcome back to Daytime Chrishell, she is a wonderful actress and I will be watching her on Y&R.

Love her as an actress but way to many new people on these soaps and the storylines continue to suffer. They should have brought her over as someone who’s off the canvas and returning and whom already has history.

Following the mismanagement of her in the role of Jordan Ridgeway on Days of Our Lives, I am hoping that the team at The Young and the Restless will treat her right. Was not a fan of her as Amanda on All My Children, so I have hopes that Bethany will be different.

Though, I would rather have seen her as Heather Stevens or Mackenzie Browning, but am will to see how Bethany works out!

Interesting casting. I wonder if she’s on the scene to break up Adam and Chelsea and they skip town together? I hope this is the case because (even though I’m a fan) JH’s talents are being wasted on a show that constantly recycles storylines. It must get boring always having to apologize to annoying Chelsea and asking for another chance to be a family. I know he filmed a prime time pilot, I hope it was picked up.

Don’t pair her with off screen love– I have always found real life couples to have zero chemistry when it comes to their characters, I don’t know why, but they rarely work on screen. Other than that, new characters are often needed to stir the pot, but over all I find writers create new characters because they get more money for it, so often the new characters feel like square pegs trying to fit into a round hole, because they never really gel into the canvas—

Chrishell Stause = age 34
Melissa Claire Egan = age 34
Justin Heartly = age 39
and all the other ‘new’ and the many players upfront are seem to be the younger..
Perhaps- Putting the ‘young’ back into the Young and the Restless?

I think it a bit strained and weird when husband and wife work on the same soap..
Hey! ever notice;
there are many soap actors married to soap actors..
hmm maybe soap actors don’t have much of a life outside the soaps and mary from within.. lol

Chrishell will be a excellent addition to the show. I think she will be great with Billy Abbott. He needs to get away from Victoria. Chrishell will help Billy to see there is life with out Little Ms Victor jr…. Billy don’t need to get romantic with his sister n law, been there done so many time with the Newman family

Please here wishing they put Chrishell with Billy!!

Well, we don’t seem to be having much luck with these younger parts, given the early demises of gorgeous Matthew Atkinson (Austin), Courtney, three different adult Kyles, a forgotten Fenmore, Shawn, a now-recurring-only Noah, long gone Eden, Ricky Williams, and others I’m sure I missed. Maybe this one will fit in? No offense to the actress, but I’m not holding my breath.

I think this is great new’s!!! They need a fresh face…The show is so boring now!!!

Congratulations to Chrishell. I hope Y&R puts her to better use than DOOL did.

Happy to see an AMCer employed! Theres a million ways to go with her. She could be Natalie’s older sister, a fashion model, someone from Chelsea’s past who hopefully steals Adam away from her or the new prison doctors or judge Moxley’s daughter?

Budget cuts… what really happened to the actors that played Noah and Marissa? And now there’s money for this one? Pleasssssse……

Congrats, so glad to hear the great news Chrishell will be terrific she always is. I hope she will be on for a very long time. She deserves a major role. Can’t wait to see her.

Congrats to Chrishell! Can’t wait to see what she will bring to Y&R. I hope they put her and Billy together. Now that will make for an interesting storyline, especially where Victoria is concerned. Will be quite intereating….

I knew it was just a matter of time before she would show up here especially after leaving DOOL

I am an outsider. It is difficult to see so many newcomers. Too many storylines are left without finish. Too many I said; some need to linger.

In my field it became very complicated, years ago, when women spouses kept their birth names because often they married people working in the same field. One always had to be very careful to whom one was speaking. They may, in fact, have been married to one not so friendly to the conversation.

I wish everyone well, but wish I didn’t know this. Politically I don’t like it. It can work.
Probably has often in the past. I would like it the other way around: a new actor came on set and fell in love.

More pushing out y and r actors for actors from failed/low rated soaps. Bad enough they gave Chancellor mansion to an actor Jeanne Cooper never acted with.

Phelps and Pratt continue to prove they don’t care about show history and legacy characters. They don’t wanna write for Noah and Kyle, third generation characters who can carry the Newman and Abbott name, so they get demoted to the point we will hardly ever seen them. The oldest Newman grandson and first born child of Shick get demoted as does the young son of Jack Abbott. Phelps and Pratt are giving us yet another new character instead doing the right thing and hiring Stause to play a recasted Mac, Heather, or Eden. They could’ve given the Williams and Baldwin families a boost by bringing back Heather or Eden. I suppose they would much rather have Billy engage in a sickening affair with his brother’s wife than bring back his first love.

The character breakdown does not excite me. I like Chrishell, but another new character? Really?

I think it will be weird. Chrishell’s real life boyfriend (Justin) is on the show and is hooked up with her real life best friend (Missy Claire Egan) on the show. They (Adam and Chelsea)spend so much time in the sack and kissing (and although it is ALL ACTING), who wants to watch their best friend kissing their boyfriend all day? Its all strange to me. JMO…

I’m really excited! Chrishell is a great actress, and I think she’ll fit well on the Y&R canvas. She never really fit in at DAYS, but that was because of the writing. Jordan never really had a purpose, and newbies rarely fare well on DAYS (look at Fynn, Lani and Summer for current examples, as well as countless others from the past, like Taylor, Madison, Ian, Serena, Paige, Clyde, etc.)

I would have preferred she join the show as Mac or Heather, though, as other people have commented. Characters with ties to the canvas are usually much better than newbies, but remember that characters like Phyllis, Sharon and Chelsea were all newbies at one time, and they have become long-lasting characters on the show. I have hope that Chrishell will stick around long term.

I also find it amusing that so many ex-AMC stars have appeared on Y&R. Billy Miller, Amelia Heinle, Elizabeth Hendrickson, Melissa Claire Egan, Peter Bergman, Michael E. Knight, Genie Francis, Debbi Morgan, Darnell Williams, etc. have all been on AMC before joining Y&R.

With any luck, the show will sign Chrishell (and Michael E. Knight, for that matter) to contract ASAP, and keep their characters around.

I’m so glad to read that Chrishell has been hired on to Y&R. I hope they won’t write her character to come between Adam and Chelsea; it would make more sense (well, to me, anyway) to pair her with Billy. That would make Victoria miss him all the more when she sees the two together. However, I’ll accept Chrishell as Bethany in just about any storyline. This actress can make anything work.

At least it’s something and someone new (to this canvas) to look forward to. Welcome, Chrishell !

Summer is really a bad actress/ Is she a relative of any big shot?Why hasn’t Lauren been on so little these days?Please do something else with Victorias hair??Ihave watched the show since its beginning and still enjoy it every day!
