Congratulations to Jessica on the birth of her daughter!! Miss her as Avery on The Young and the Restless but, have a feeling there are bigger and better things for her, especially in the daytime medium!
I hope you are right, Scott!
I dont miss Avery. I wish Chelsea would leave sorry not a fan
Had no idea she was even pregnant. Happy for her but I dont miss her character on the show
Congratulations to Jessica and her beau on their new bundle of joy.
Welcome to motherhood, Jessica. It IS the best job you will ever have.
(Incidentally, she announced this on her official Instagram account too.)
Welcome Jessica and Michael on your beautiful new daughter❤️
Congrats. Enjoy your new role.
There were other actresses who should have been nominated over her.
Didn’t know she was pregnant.
I didn’t either. I was looking in the article for a reference to “adoption” or “surrogate.”
She must have been pregnant in her waning days on Y&R but didn’t look like she was expecting.
Hey, Mo…I agree. To me, Jessica Collins should N-O-T have been nominated PERIOD!!!!! Ridiculous.
congrats to my favorite y n r actress , jessica!… you deserve the nomination and furthermore the award for best actress, it wasnt easy performing the hell out of a roller coaster storyline where pratt and jfp threw you and scott elrodd to the wolves! that convoluted story twist where suddenly joe was abusive and dylan suddenly got over you for sharon when you needed him most would have been hard for any actress to perform but you killed it! y n r is a mess most days so enjoy motherhood, hopefully we will see you in genoa city when… Read more »
Congratulations to Jessica on the birth of her little
girl. What a cutie!
Miss the character of Avery so much, and hope she gets
that Emmy…her work was great!
Jessica Schmessica. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode and see the scene where Hilary reminds Nikki she was a stripper. Ooooohhhhh ….. oh, ok. Congrats to Jessica!
Yup! After Hilary’s declaration, Mark Y, maybe Nikki’s nose will come down a peg or two. Having been a stripper is not the “worst” in Nikki’s past. Gutter urchin comes to mind…LOL.
Congrats to her! I miss her beautiful face on Y&R
I like her but I’m not buying this sentence in the article: “Many have considered Collins work in her final storyline before her exit to be some of her finest work.” Collins is a good actress but the writing for her was so horrible when she left that I can’t believe anyone would think this is her “finest work.” This is not a criticism of her acting but a critique of the quality of the script she was given. The plot was terrible; the acting alone couldn’t save it. If those scenes seriously qualify as the “finest” work that Collins… Read more »
Congratulations Jessica and Michael on the birth of your daughter.
Love Jessica Collins. Wish she was back on Y&R. Congrats on the baby
Congratulations on the baby. We in South Africa has maybe one Y&R episode left before Avery exits. You are a good actress and also loved the show Tru calling wish it didn’t end which just a few shows in season 2.
