If this is indeed true, this would be another loss for the number one soap opera, The Young and the Restless. This evening, rumors have been flying around the Internet that Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe) has decided not to renew her contract with the CBS soap opera and will thus be departing the series.
According to a tweet from TV Guide Magazine’s Michael Logan, he relates: “NOOOO!!! Has @Theehendrickson chosen not 2 renew her #YR contract? That’s what I’m hearing & don’t like it one bit!“ There has been no comment from Elizabeth at this time.
If the talented actress has indeed decided to depart Y&R, it would end her more than six year run in the role of Chloe. Currently, Elizabeth is major in story with Chloe having an emotional free fall from the ramifications from Delia’s death.
In addition, Elizabeth is still in the running for the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for this years Daytime Emmys where she scored a Pre-Nom in the category early last week. She has been considered a strong contender to make it to the finals.
What do you think about the rumors that Elizabeth may be leaving Y&R? Would you be sad to see her go? Share your comments below!

If you have ever tuned-in to the soap opera genre over the last 50 years, and witnessed some of the greatest romances, drama, classic and outlandish storylines of all-time, you would have seen Deidre Hall smack dab in the middle of it as longtime Salem heroine, Dr. Marlena Evans.
It was 50 years on this date, June 21, 1976 that Hall first appeared on DAYS on NBC which was its home for 57 years before it moved to its current streaming platform on Peacock in September of 2022.
In Hall’s first episode she was introduced as a psychiatrist treating Mickey Horton (John Clarke) at Bayview Sanitarium after he suffered a complete mental breakdown. Mickey learned that his brother Bill Horton (Edward Mallory) was the biological son of Mike Horton (Wesley Eure) with his wife Laura (Susan Flannery) and that he had been lied to for years and years. From that moment on, the rest is television and soap opera history. Days of Our Lives put Hall front and center.

There were so many heartbreaking and shocking story twists involving the beloved Marlena. One of the first was the historic crib death of baby DJ (Don Jr.) in 1980, Marlena’s infant son with Don Craig (Jed Allan). The story had never been told on daytime television and Hall’s performances received accolades from TV critics to fans when Deidre received thousands of letters from grieving mothers who had gone through the same thing in their own lives.
DAYS also brought Deidre’s twin sister, Andrea Hall Lovell to the show as her on-screen sister Samantha, who had a grudge and even locked Marlena up in a sanitarium and took her place! Fast-forward and in 1982, DAYS launched the Salem Strangler story where everyone believed Marlena was his next victim, only it turned out to be Samatha. Jake Kositchek (played by Jack Coleman) was revealed to be the actual serial killer.
Later, Deidre would assume the role of Marlena’s look-alike, Hattie Adams in 2004, once played by her sister, Andrea. Over the years, Hattie has come back to Salem and caused trouble giving Hall a chance to play a different type of character, then the always upstanding Marlena.

THE LOVES OF MARLENA
Deidre Hall struck gold with all her leading men: from the late Jed Allan, to Wayne Northrop as Roman Brady, and of course, her enduring love story with the late John Black played by the iconic Drake Hogestyn. In fact, Marlena’s 1986 wedding to John (who was believed to be Roman at the time) remains a favorite of fans to this day.
TOP MARLENA STORYLINES OF ALL-TIME
While the list is long, here are several that were some of the memorable during Deidre’s five decades in Salem!
The Possession (1994- 1995)
Considered one of the most ambiguous, outlandish and unforgettable story arcs in soap opera history, then Days of Our Lives head writer, James Reilly went there! Marlena was possessed by the devil! That included; the demonic eyes, hissing at father John (Black) the priest, morphing into creatures, and the classic levitating in her bed! It became a cultural phenomenon and cemented Deidre Hall’s status as a daytime television legend. Just ask Ryan Gosling!

The Affair with John Black (1993)
John and Marlena’s forbidden love could not be denied and they had passionate affair, while she was still married to the real Roman. Problem was her daughter, Sami (Alison Sweeney) caught her mother having sex with John on a desk that changed Sami forever.
The Salem Stalker Mystery (2003-2004)
In a shocker, Marlena was revealed to be a serial killer who bumped off several Salem favorites residents who were all alive on the island of Melaswen (spelled “New Salem” backward). Turns out, she was manipulated and gaslighted by Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) to do the “killings” and had no memory of her actions.
The Pier Scene (1991)
This remains Michael Fairman TV’s all-time favorite Deidre Hall moment, which featured some of the best acting in the storied careers of both Hall and Drake Hogestyn.
In the story, a presumed-dead Marlena returns after four years. One foggy night on the pier, John is alone, and Marlena steps out of the fog to reveal herself, and is reunited with the love of her life. You can watch it any year, any decade, and in any moment, and it will have you reaching for the hankies again and again. (best music score fo a soap scene of all-time too!)

Kristen’s Secret Room Reveal (1997)
Marlena was caught in Kristen Blake’s (Eileen Davidson) elaborate web of lies, when she was held hostage in a secret wine cellar/room until John managed to track her down, leading to an iconic on-screen reunion. The classic catfight between Hall and Eileen Davidson was one for the ages.
It should be noted that Maison Blanche, Queen of the Night, Possession, Aremid and Lady in a Cage were all a part of classic DAYS storyline and all featured Hall at the epicenter of it from 1993-1996.
THE RECENT YEARS OF MARLENA
In recent years, DAYS brought back the possession 2.0 storyline under then head writer Ron Carlivati in 2021 where the devil leapt back in Marlena after taking advantage of a frail Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes)
In 2025, viewers watched the end of the love story of John and Marlena, as John succumbed to injuries sustained in an explosion saving a vial of medication needed to bring Bo (Peter Reckell) back to life. Marlena has been a widow on-screen since June of 2025 as Hall as portrayed the good doctor struggling with her grief and to move on with her life since his death.

One story that never goes away is Stefano DiMera’s (the late Joe Mascolo) obsession with Marlena, his “Queen of the Night.” Even in death, Stefano is toying with her from the great beyond with the mysterious chess set and the missing “pawn,” that he had gifted John and Marlena in his will. The mystery is currently unfolding on all-new episodes of Days of Our Lives.
Tune-in to Days of our Lives on the Monday, June 22 episode as Marlena looks back at her 50 years in Salem.
Share your congratulations to Deidre Hall for this incredible 50-year milestone as Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of Our Lives in the comment section. Then let us know, what is your all-time favorite storyline or moment in the life of Marlena over the past 5 decades? And, just for kicks, and to celebrate this amazing milestone, here is Marlena levitating below circa Christmas Eve 1994.
General Hospital
Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric
With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

General Hospital1 week agoGENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Michael Puts Willow On Notice After Tracy Is Arrested
It sure seems like a revolving door in the Casting department at the Y & R. The cast and “recasts” are almost unrecognizable as it is. We have lost so many cast members in the last year, Michelle Stafford, Billy Miller, Emme Rylan, Michael Muhney, Hartley Sawyer, Stephen Nichols, Blake Hood to name a few. If she leaves, I wish her well in her future endeavours. I will miss her for sure.
And all this since JFP took control. Isn’t this exactly what happened when she ruled GH?
Not really. She chopped all of the over-40-year-old actresses back to recurring and then a year later either killed those characters or just never brought them on.
Farren Phelps hasn’t really touched the “oldies” on this show basically because there weren’t many to get rid of.
My bet is that Melody Thomas Scott would be next to get the boot from Phelps.
Im still waiting for Drucilla to come back and Sharon is my favorite
I didn’t watch GH when JFP was there but I’m fairly certain this is classic Jill. Stephen Nichols, Michelle Stafford, Billy Miller and Michael Muhney are the ones I miss most, especially the latter two. Their performances at the end of January were so amazing, it was both a blessing to see and a burden because they were both gone right after such stellar scenes.
If Elizabeth is leaving, it will be another huge loss for the show, especially after the knockout performances she’s delivered recently. I think she deserves the Emmy this year and I really hope she stays on the show.
They don’t call JFP the Soap Slayer for nothing. CBS is probably wanting a reason to cancel Y&R and JFP will get them a reason. As the ratings keep falling.
Don’t like Chelsea
I WISH CHELSEA WOULD LEAVE! I love Sharon and Jack and old Billy
You hit the nail on the head. JFP ruined GH, especially not letting Steve Burton have a contract suitable for him and his family. But as you pointed out, Steve is a veteran and she has issues with the Vets. The Vets are the best part of Y&R. Thats been a problem over at GH that was fixed when RC took over. He appreciates mature talent such as Sonny, Alexis, Rick, Julian, Luke, Tracey, Monica, Ava, Duke, and Anna. All these people are in great story lines, over 50, and are great actors. Oh, and Ron is bringing on Donna Mills. Great stuff!
I hope she is not leaving, I love elizabeth she is a wonderful actress. If she leaves, please don’t recast. maybe kevin fisher will turn out gay. I would love that.
I forgot to mention, Greg Rikaart who plays kevin Fisher came out of the closet on twitter 5 months ago, he is so cute and boyish. I think he is so sexy. LoL.
i don’t think it was any secret he was gay but good for him for coming out officially. But I would not count on any gay storylines on Y&R while there are homophobic people in charge over there, if anything Greg might be next on their list to get off the show now that he has come out to social media. Not saying it will happen, but I will not shock if it did.
Considering the career of an actor is most about creating, embodying and creating a pseudo-yet very real character in TV, film and theatre, we have to realize they each need to grow and explore their own potential. Although fans are attached to these very ‘real’ seeming characters on Y&R, they really are the highly skillful creation by that actor. When one thinks of the multiple actors who have adapted their own talents to the stage with Shakespeare’s plays, or other well known writings for film, we need to feel grateful for their diligence to craft.
My point is that Elizabeth is still a young woman. Six years of her life has been the very disciplined, Monday to Friday devotion to the character, Chloe. Perhaps both as her own person, Elizabeth, and also as the actor creating Chloe, it is a need for her (Elizabeth) to explore other possibilities in her profession.
Often it seems fans are only able to see the character, not the actor behind the character on shows such as Y&R. To feel challenged in any job means to feel the freedom to explore, have personal challenges in the entertainment world that are there for the taking.
IF Elizabeth does choose to walk away from her tole at Y&R, I can wish her the very best in any future choices she may be making. We also need to appreciate Elizabeth may wish to pursue other talents, perhaps enter an entirely new field of endeavour or even attend college or University. Whatever she choose to do, I hope fans of Y&R are able to be nothing but supportive.
All the best Elizabeth, whatever path you choose.
If this could be passed along to her, Michael, I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks.
JFP knows how to drive them away so she can replace them with her favorites.
Mika…YES…MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!!! AGREED!!!!! Jill Farren Phelps has proven (over and over again) that she DOES NOT give a damn about any of us soap fans…AT ALL!!!!! Heartless and clueless woman!!!!!!!
And yet everyone keeps watching?! As long as everyone keeps “saying” they’re going to stop watching but continue to do so JFP will continue on.
When they ratings go down, the bleeding will stop. Until then the higher ups don’t care what happens.
I despise what JFP she has done to the show, its fans and mostly the amazing talented actors. If you recall while at the helm of GH she did the same thing nearly causing the show to be cancelled. Once she was Fired, the new regime began bringing all the fan favorites back and today GH is far better than Y&R and the ratings have improved drastically. Just to recap our losses since she has taken control: Michelle Stafford, Billy Miller, Genie Francis, Blake Hood, Emmy Rylan, Hartley Sawyer, Michael Muhney, Stephen Nichols not to mention the loss of our beloved Jeanne Cooper. Now possibly Elizabeth Hendrickson. She continues to hire her FOJ in that untalented boring Steve Burton, recast Abby, Noah, Billy, Kyle, Summer and others with her friends. The rumor is she plans to recast Adam with a former employee as well. Please FIRE this menace to our show, it is already unrecognizable, I refuse to watch and have not since BM and MM left.
Yup, gotta know there’s something stinking up the pot at Y&R, and since all the ship-jumping has happened on JFP’s watch…well you can do the math!
I don’t blame EH for leaving if she does, she’s been stuck in a nowhere relationship for years! I really enjoy her friendship with Chelsea, but I’m guessing MCE will be the next to walk.
@SZima MCE will not walk she and Jessica Collins are the two female pets on the show. Concerning EH everybody knows Guza and Phelps fired RH over at GH with the same storyline then fans revolted and they hired her back. I do not think everything is hearts an flowers over there like they all claim. I can tell you one thing JFP could care less about working things out with anyone if she walks they will just replace her character if they decide they need her for story with a FOJ.
I like Chloe so this news kinda sucks. However, aside from Delia dying, the character has mostly been a sidekick/bestie since JFP and Co. took over. They didn’t give her much else besides the pairing with Kevin and those two fit more as a younger version of Phyllis and Michael than as a couple imo. The young set is just underwhelming as a whole I think. Maybe Chloe could crossover to B&B? I wish EH the best!
If Elizabeth Hendrickson leaves than Y&R is losing yet more talent. Her scenes in the aftermath of Delia’s death were amazing and it is easy to see why she is in contention for an Emmy nomination. But as much as I adore Chloe the writing hasn’t been there for her since then. She has become a secondary character in her own daughter’s death. So really I can’t blame Elizabeth Hendrickson for looking elsewhere. She’s talented enough to succeed beyond this show.
I agree, I hate the way they wrote that. All of the focus was on Billy and Victoria. It should have been on Billy and Chloe. Terrible writing.
It was terrible writing. Chloe should have never been in a secondary story relating to her daughter’s death. The story became all about Billy and Victoria when it was HER daughter.
Is Y&R really still the #1 soap?
My thoughts exactly. I don’t see how it can be after this past year. I love the show and I really want to see it succeed, but lately the writing has been pretty bad and so many beloved actors have left the show, it’s too much negative without any positive to balance it out.
Cady McClain joining the show and Tristan Rogers’ return have both been positives, but they aren’t enough after Billy Miller, Michael Muhney’s exits, and now maybe Elizabeth Hendrickson’s. Too much talent is leaving the show and not being replaced by viable alternatives.
If this is what Elizabeth needs to do, it’s fine with me. She’ll be dearly missed. I’ve enjoyed her character Chloe since day one. I wish her all the best in everything she does!
Y&R can not afford to lose more great actors/characters..
It is starting to be unrecognizable as the awesome soap it once was..
Without the greats;
Katherine/Jeanne Cooper
Adam/Michael Muhney
Billy/Billy Miller
Phyllis/Michelle Stafford
Chloe/Elizabeth Hendrickson (perhaps)
.. Y&R seems empty..
Not to mention ALL the other good characters it has lost all in the past 2 years,,
Hope that Elizabeth stay with YR
Haven’t watched since MM and BM left. Chloe used to be one of my favorites but, except for the Delia death story she’s been given less and less in regards to story lines. I don’t think she’ll be missed. Maybe Kevin will go next (GR)
A great loss for Y&R if this is true. EH has grown so much as an actress since her AMC days. She would be a great Sam Morgan if GH ever had to recast.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all seems like the writers have really messed up . Alot of the actors are probably as upset as all of us how stories are being written out just don’t say anything out loud . I believe that Elizabeth is also on the show that comes on ION at night drawing a blank right now [maybe flashpoint] is the name ??? but I wish her only the best . She has done a great job. Y& R needs to wake up before they lose their show , losing alot of good actors lately
This show has been a disaster for awhile now….The dark & boring storylines, the constant cast changes, & the non compromising from TPTB. if she leaves it would just be another nail in the coffin of this show….What is going on with the show….so many people blame JFP….is she the only one with power….whoever is making decisions over there better rethink what they’re doing….I was a long time viewer…off & on…..I just don’t look forward to watching any more….I do…because I want all the soaps to succeed….but really , enough’s enough !
Its okay, let her go. They can write her off and send her to Fairview for now.
Who can blame her? She was barely a bit player in her own “daughters” death.
JFP,and her hatred of strong females characters, has managed to drive away all the real talent on this show.
Soon enough Nu-Noah will be considered a veteran.
Rob…that annoying Nu-Noah a veteran??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Dude…good one…LOL!!!!!
I sure hope she renews. Elizabeth has made the role of Chloe so rich and layered. I really enjoy her performances, but wish her well in whatever she decides to do.
This is not suprising because a lot of people left the show for different reasons but it think it is the storylines with the characters and the path that the show is taking that make actors to leave
I like chloe but there is nothing else for her to do but leave. Without Delia, chloe is really not needed……..just saying…………..
The character had so much potential but over the years Chloe has been watered down to a bit player that I would not blame the actress playing her for wanting to leave to explore other roles. But right now we don’t know if this is a rumor, fact or a ploy to get a better contract by getting her fans riled up over her leaving. So until it is official it a bit premature to speculate on why she is leaving and who is to blame.
I love Liz, but if it’s her decision to leave, don’t try turning it into something it is not, like Miller leaving or MM being fired.
It is was it is.
Even today soap “stars” can move on if they wish, and she’s had a fantastic year and has been featured a LOT since JG started writing in Oct 2012.
Having said that, I hope she stays.
It’s hard to ignore the smoke, Pat. You can’t blame people for putting two and two together.
Again, if she chooses to leave, there is no smoke.
Michael Logan reported she almost didn’t re-sign last time.
People can say whatever they want, but if the actress wants to leave stop the silly talk.
I like her, but right now, don’t care if she stays or goes.
I suspect that she was let go and this is Sony’s way of putting the best spin on it. The fact is she hasn’t been interesting to watch since her affair with Billy ended, about six months or year after she joined the show. Pairing her with Kevin was the final nail…Maria/Scott/Hogan are to thank for that.
The show is an utter mess. The actors are leaving for a reason. The show no longer works. You cannot have such a mass exodus and expect the show to survive. A popular show thrives because of its continuity of the cast. I do not blame Elizabeth. Her stories have been dreary and sad. The show was so much more vibrant and fun under Maria Bell. I put the blame on JFP period. Her focus is all wrong.
I really do wish they would do a gay storyline with Kevin, it’s sooo long over due. This is their chance. As much as I would hate to see Chloe go, I can get over it if there is sufficient story to go along with it. You know, Chloe goes of that nuthouse all the crazies go to on Y&R, Kevin is devastated and heartbroken. He starts having issues again about the childhood closet, and “Terrible Tom”. his mean step-daddy. About this time, Alex finally comes out of the closet, confides in Kevin, and that’s when he is finally able to be honest about himself as well. There ya go. That’s how I see it. Boom, somebody give me a job. woopwoop.
Jeff…I think that your idea actually makes a WHOLE LOT OF SENSE!!!!! I don’t see why not. And, besides…Greg Rikaart (aka Kevin) is openly gay in real life. I think that Y&R should run with this……….
I remember reading something about Elizabeth saying that it was brave of Billy Miller to leave and dare to think about doing something new, or something like that. I wonder if she was considering it even back then. How wonderful it would be to see Elizabeth and Billy work together somewhere again. Great chem.
I like EH, she is a good actress! I don’t blame her, I’d leave too, all the writers have her do is cry, gets old. Dee should have never been killed, story line was not worth it. Maybe she could take Kevin, Lily, & Summmer, with her….On another matter I am so tired of Victor having his hands in every story line. While I am on a rant please give David Ton another shirt, he looks young now but the shirt he had on today makes him look like a little boy. I want to know why he is not in jail?? Oh well glad for FF…..
Sue…I (for one) am NOT IMPRESSED with David Tom in the role of Billy Abbott…this time around. No. DT looks like and acts like an immature and annoying 9th Grader onscreen…BLECH!!!!! By the way, I loved your comment about David Tom…LOL!!!!! So true!!!!!!
Thanks! I hate to say mean things about an actor, but it’s the truth. Not impressed with DT either..Can the casting dept. not see how an actor comes across on tape before they hire them.. there are a few more that need to be recast..JPF has just ruined Y&R, I thought MAB was bad enough.
If she does opt to leave the show, I can’t say that I blame her. Chloe has been an afterthought in her own stories for years — she’s been pretty much ignored in the story of her daughter’s death so that it could be all about whipped Billy and his self-centered wife and before that she was in the abysmal cat burglar storyline with Kevin where all the “action” took place off-camera and then they talked about it at Crimson Lights.
I cannot believe this! Elizabeths role as Cloe reached its peak of displaying this actresses talent , when she played the ongoing scenes dealing with the loss of a child.
Everyone involved in those scenes did a wonderful job of dealing with this painful subject and having experienced this type of loss myself this isssue and it touched me deeply. all actors involved did a fine job on this but Elizabeth was the very best and continues to be. it is very odd that all involved in this storyline suddenly leave,.
i hope Elizabeth does not go but i know this part brought out her best as an actress and the story line helped me personally. i wish more soap story lines were of this quality instead of the endless changing of bed partners. sue
I’d say she is leaving a SINKING SHIP! What the he** are they doing to a show?! Think this will keep them #1 ?
She may have left on her own volition, because the writing is on the wall. Jill ‘s confidence is based on temporarily high ratings. We’ll see if they stay that way.
Like Michelle Stafford, better to get out before they are all umemployed and looking for work at the same time.
This is a terrible foreboding. So sad. Loved Chloe & EH . But I quit awhile back.
Omg.. NOT ANOTHER ONE! Y&R plzzz get it together. Any more losses and his soap is done. As for chloe, stay where you are! Your talent is needed.
It is the Young and Restless not the Old and Bitter. Many of the story lines are rather repetitive with the on going theme of infidelity. A good house cleaning to the story lines would be a lot more productive than the continuing actor changes which have occurred over the last few months. I’ve bee watching since 1974 and I must say that I am quickly losing interest with the show. A bit more reality would go along way.
No I would not be sad too see her go. I wish she was leaving, good riddens.
Y and R is sooooooo stupid!!! Boring and petty and the new Billy talks like Marlon Brando and Nikki talks like a porn star…..bahhhh. I want the old Y&R back
The reason I started watching Y&R is because of Elizabeth H. Sorry to see her go too . Geez, can Y&R afford to lose all the top rated characters? When “Chloe” left that was it. I’m done watching soaps. Might as well watch stupid reality tv instead…there’s enough of it.
