Elizabeth’s last Y&R airdate is Tuesday May 27th. Just how the show will write-out Chloe, with the understanding that the door is open for her to return at some point down the line, is still a mystery.

General Hospital
Blythe Howard Joins the Cast of ‘General Hospital’ as Monet: Who is She Connected to in Port Charles?
General Hospital continues to add new characters to the canvas. Now comes word of the arrival of Monet, a savvy lawyer played by Blythe Howard. Look for Monet to debut in Port Charles next week on the Wednesday, September 23 episode.
According to TV Insider, “Monet arrives in town as a litigator who recently joined Miller & Davis, the firm run by Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), and meets with a Port Charles resident in need of legal counsel.”
In a statement, General Hospital’s executive producer, Frank Valentini shared, “I am very excited to welcome Blythe Howard to the cast of General Hospital. Look for her to have an unexpected connection to a beloved Port Charles resident.”
FROM TELEVISION TO CANCER SURVIVOR TO GIVING BACK
If Howard looks familiar you may have seen her on several television series including: Yellowstone, Power Book IV: Force, Walker, 9-1-1: Lone Star, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, CW’s Dynasty, Silicon Valley plus David Fincher‘s Mindhunter.

Blythe is also a cancer survivor having cofounded Chemo Queens with her sister Kelsey Howard. The company creates products for people undergoing cancer treatment, including a patent-pending cold cap design.
In recent months, General Hospital has brought in several new actors for brand new roles or recasts. They include: Alimi Ballard (William Baines), Jonathan Bennett (Joe Fitzpatrick), Kearran Giovanni (Dr. Nichols), Dean Geyer (Tristan Roberts), Kelly Kruger (Serena Baldwin), Kayden Brennan Tokarski (Scout Cain) and Troy Lennon Appel (Hudson Parker). You can now add Blythe Howard to this list.
So, who do you think Monet has an unexpected connection to that is a “beloved” Port Charles resident as teased by Frank Valentini? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.
While Finn (Tanner Novlan) is unaware that his wife Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is pregnant and that she is supposedly carrying Carter Walton’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) child on The Bold and the Beautiful, Tanner Novlan is keeping busy, not only on the CBS soap, but in an upcoming new feature for the streamer Roku entitled Cowboy Hearts.
Laguna Beach star Kristen Cavallari is the lead opposite Novlan. The log lines of the story tease, “When a no-nonsense reality TV producer (Cavallari) is sent to Georgia to oversee the reboot of the hit dating show ‘Cowboy Hearts,’ she expects chaos behind the scenes, not romantic sparks with the cowboy himself (Novlan). Now, with the cameras rolling and her job on the line, she’ll have to decide if love is worth going off script.”
Taking to his Instagram to confirm his casting, Tanner Novlan shared, “Cowboy Hearts coming to @therokuchannel early ‘27!” The caption was posted alongside two photos of Tanner in the film wearing a cowboy hat, and a video with Tanner shirtless in said cowboy hat, but riding a horse. Tanner’s wife, former B&B actress, Kayla Ewell (ex-Caitlin Ramirez) joked in the comment thread, “Can you bring the cowboy hat home?”

KRISTEN CAVALLARI RETURNS TO ACTING AFTER 15 YEARS
Cavallari also recently starred as herself in an episode of ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville, but Cowboy Hearts marks her first acting role in 15 years since she appeared in an episode of ABC comedy series, The Middle. Earlier in her career, Kristen appeared in the Laguna Beach spinoff, The Hills (as herself), plus episodes of Veronica Mars and CSI: NY.
The partnership of Roku and Cavallari comes from her having the biggest unscripted launch ever on the Roku platform with The Reunion: Laguna Beach. Now, Cowboy Hearts will launch sometime next year with Cavallari saying in a statement to Deadline, “I’m so excited to be stepping back into acting and getting to do something completely different with a rom-com. After such a great experience working with Roku on The Reunion: Laguna Beach, it feels especially exciting to be working with their team again — but this time for a scripted film. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
MORE THAN JUST BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
As for Tanner Novlan, he has been playing Dr. John Finn Finnegan since July of 2020 on the CBS daytime drama series. He’s also well known for his role as the bad actor/ spokesperson in the Liberty Biberty commercial spots for Liberty Mutual, and his recurring role on Roswell, New Mexico.
Novlan is no stranger as a leading man in rom-coms, too. He previously appeared in 2019’s My Best Friend’s Christmas, 2022’s Christmas Class Reunion, and 2024’s Debbie Macomber’s Joyful Mrs. Miracle.
So, intrigued to see Tanner in Cowboy Hearts when it comes out next year? On B&B, do you think Finn is really the baby-daddy to Steffy’s unborn baby that will be revealed later down the road? Let us know via the comment section.

losing yet another cast member we were able to identify with a character is leaving the sinking ship R.I.P Y&R
Dont feel so bad, its happening over at GH too!
Sinking ship? Really. It has been the number one Daytime show for OVER 25 years! This ship is not sinking anytime soon! 🙂
How much more can the fans take? Y&R is losing so many! What’s happening? Things are ‘t looking good. The cast is shrinking!!!
They are abandoning ship. The ship is sinking!
Send her off to Europe to be a top fashion designer and get away from all the painful memories in GC.
Nice!
Good idea! The character needs time to deal with her grief and start her life over again. Far away from Genoa City.
Love u chloe!! E.henderickson is a talented actress whose character on y&r has been through the ringer. Hoping she really does return but other than soaps her acting is worth prime time tv so I guess we’ll see.. Wishing her all the best! Pissed that y&r is losing yet another special role worth watching 🙁 . Let her exit be a impressionable one!
While I’m not sure she’ll head off to Europe (remember, Paris won’t be the same after she kidnapped Connor and took him there), I do believe that Jack may take it upon himself to send Chloe off to the Japanese sector of Jabot, where he once sent Billy, so she can have some time to give herself space and renew herself after this past year of heartache and mixed feelings about everyone and everything she’s been through.
While I’m saddened to see yet another cast member go, hopefully Ms Hendrickson will find that comedy show she’s hoping to do, maybe even on Broadway. I have faith in her acting skills to do some fun things in her life, and I look forward to seeing her on the screen in some prime time shows (hopefully along with Billy Miller and Michael Muhney, although not necessarily WITH them).
Best wishes, Ms Hendrickson. Good-bye, Chloe. I’ll miss your fun-loving side on my screen…
wolfy
E.H. needs to move to Port Chuck…as a Robin Drake recast!!!
The Old & The Toothless is getting to be such a bore now. As the cast loses major talent constantly now, it’s now wonder they’ve lost over -1.3 million viewers since Miller and Muhney exited on January 30th. So long EH, you’re smart to get off of the Titanic of daytime.
Obviously they will have to send her away since they are leaving the door open for her to return. With her mental state of mind, I would say they should send her to a mental facility. That usually works.
I have mixed feelings about her leaving, I was hoping her and Kevin would be a couple and live happily ever after, as we all know this is a soap opera… with that being said…they can gt rid of BILLY / LILLY BUT bring back ADAM ( Michael Muhney ) not a replacement like they did for Billy !!
I think she will have a mental breakdown and thats how she will be written off,
I have enjoyed Elizabeth in AMC and Y&R. Hope to see her again.
I miss– Ms/Phyillis — not replaceable
I miss– BM/Billy — not replaceable
I miss MM/Adam — absolutely not replaceable
those 3 were the fire of Y&R.. since they are gone Y&R is empty..
EH/Chloe will also be missed.. Hope she finds what she needs and wants..
Y&R is replacing the 3 (replaced one), and it will be a huge disappointment, some are just not replaceable..
Y&R is becoming a shell of what it once was, sad..
IF EB does not renew his contract, Y&R will be dead in the water..
Long live the soaps!!
Will miss Liz, if JFP ever got fired maybe she would come back.. I’m sure the drama behind scenes were not so great..time to move on!!
I wish Elizabeth all the best in whatever she does next.As for Chloe i think she’ll just leave town because she may realize she won’t get better in Genoa City because there are memories of Delia all around.Plus she may get her marriage to Kevin annulled too.
What if they send her to LA to be a part of the Forrester Creations design team, that way we don’t completely lose the character, she’s just on another show.
This is another big loss for Y&R though, EH is a very talented actress and has brought her all to the role of Chloe in the past few months. At first I didn’t really like her but she has definitely grown on me and now I’m sad she’s leaving.
She is so damned pretty.
In that picture, she looks like a cross between Eva Longoria and Ali MacGraw circa 1970.
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry” – Love Story
“Isn’t She Lovely”
she isn’t all made up : gussied Up : make-up’ed : dressed to the Nines : not too thin
wonderful smile
AMC and Y&R were fortunate.
and we, the audience, adore her
First my favorite, Billy Miller, and now Elizabeth. I never got the chance to see them paired on the show. 🙁
Would be an amazing Robin on GH especially if they would recast Jason with Billy Miller!!!!! Frank Valentini you hear me here ??;)
I too have said in past posting E.H. should be a recast Robin…i had posted it again here but it was omitted for some reason!!!
The show will not be the same without Chloe.
This character needs a happy ending…. Why not send her to Paris to work for Forrester Creations… that seems to be where they hide characters that leave the show… she can work with Steffy and Thorne ….since they are crossing over anyway…give the poor girl a happy send off…
Agreed! After almost a year of anguish, let Chloe find happiness and get a fresh start somewhere. Then, after a few years, please come back and be more awesome than ever! Wishing the talented Elizabeth much success in whatever she chooses to do! Thank you for so many memorable years and scenes. 🙂
Well as much as I hate to see her go, the character became a shell of the Chloe that first came to town. Over the years they took this spit fire–the maid’s daughter out to improve her lot in life– a Jill. 2 in the making, and made her blah— Delia’s death was actually the most interesting thing to happened to this character in years– so I think the actress is making a wise choice leaving now on her own, rather than waiting around for them to write her out, which they would have done eventually.
Kevin definitely needs a new love interest, because being paired with Chloe is dragging that character down too. So, yes it is sad to see talent go, but if they are not writing the character to match the talent then I think she is better off finding a role that will. I look forward to seeing her play those roles that I am sure will come her way.
Ms.H performance this year and her performance year , hands down, should garner her the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series……..you haters, please stop, bashing the show, over actors for whatever reason,have left the show!!,The former actor in the role , playing Adam N., M. M. I don’t care about or need to know,any of the details surrounding his departure!!!!!!!!!!! Those of you who continue to bash the show, and the staff, powers that be, over this, get a life!!!!!!!!none of you are lawyers,find something else to do or watch on another channel!,,,,,,enough of your annoying scribble!,,,,,,,p.s. The Y and R is still the number one daytime drama for more than 25 years!,,,,,,,
It’s to bad Chloe doesn’t take Kevin with her. Dylan is boring and especially with Avery. Jill and the stupid box will never be solved. Lily has to poke her face in to many scenes.
Show is very boring with to many stupid stories. Time to make changes at the top and bring back a show that cares about it’s fans.
Michael Muhney was the best thing that happened to this show!
EH, is a class act & she will be missed! Hope to see her in more roles.. As for Chloe, she did an awesome job and her exit should be made a powerful one just like phyllis, b miller, adam. Dare I say it, I pray they will come back somehow. Such a fan of y&r but without these 3 now 4.. The soap is tanking. #y&r-bringbackthe greats.
Doesn’t surprise me!! Haven’t watched since Billy and Adam left. Who’ll be the next victim .. Stay tuned to more Y&R Headhunters.
Damn 🙁 Chloe was one of my favorites along with all the others that recently left. C’mon Y&R….
Wish her luck in her future plans I never cared for the character totally a bitch to her mother etc. only wish she was taking Kevin, Chelsea and Billy with her.
Good Luck! EH in all your endeavors in the immediate future and future. Such a beautiful woman. Hope to see her in a movie.
I will miss Elizabeth (Chloe) very much. What will happen to Kevin now? The clothing line will that be moved to B&B? Is all the people Leaving now?
I hope the story line with Sharon will come out SOON!
Let her go…I didn’t like her character anyway
