Has Elizabeth Hendrickson Decided To Leave The Young and the Restless?

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!

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.

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… Read more »

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.

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… Read more »

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… Read more »

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… Read more »

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.

k/kay
Guest
k/kay

@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!

Stephanie
Guest

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.

Mema

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.

Stephanie
Guest

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?

Jimmy
Guest
Jimmy

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,,

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 !

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.

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

Mary SF

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.

PatF

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.

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 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.

Lee

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… Read more »

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.

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… Read more »

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.

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.

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.

GH’s Nicholas Chavez and Tabyana Ali to ‘Sprina’ Shippers: “Thank You For Not Only Being Fans, But Turning into Family”

The hottest young duo on daytime drama these days belongs to General Hospital.  The couple known as ‘Sprina’ played by Nicholas Chavez (Spencer) and Tabyana Ali (Trina), is being given plenty of non-stop intrigue and drama and romance, much to the delight of their fans, who just can’t get enough of them.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands everywhere Friday, Chavez and Ali weigh-in on all the latest developments and recent airshows including: the reading of Victor’s will, what to do about Esme and baby Ace, the action-adventure scenes in ‘Greenland’ and the Haunted Star, and most notably, that emotional leap from Trina into Spencer’s arms when he turned up alive!

Ali told SOD on her preparation for the moment: “I did a couple of jumps and held a baby, and that was about it!”

Courtesy/ABC

Chavez added, “That is my favorite ‘Sprina’ scene, Spencer is walking toward Trina and Trina breaks into a full sprint towards him, jumps into his arms and they kiss.  I’ve always wanted to do a moment like that, you know what I mean?” Ali said, “I really loved that scene, too. It was just so fulfilling.”

When addressing what each of them would like to say to their lively and constant fan base, Tabyana expressed; “I would just say we love you, we appreciate you, thank you for all of your support and thank you for not only being fans, but turning into family.”

Nick added, “I co-sign all of that. Every single word.”

So, if you are a ‘Sprina” fan, what makes this couple so special and swoon-worthy for you? What do you hope happens next for Trina and Spencer in story? Let us know in the comment section below.

B&B Alum Pierson Fodé in Consideration to be the Next ‘Superman’

This seems like it would be a great casting choice to us! According to a report in Variety, actor and model Pierson Fodé , the former Thomas Forrester of The Bold and the Beautiful, is in serious consideration to play Superman in the upcoming film Superman: Legacy.

Apparently, James Gunn told the outlet’s Senior Culture & Events Editor, Marc Malkin that, “The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien. It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has and be somebody who you want to give a hug.”

Photo: Fode IG

Gunn added his take on just who will be the newest Clark Kent/ Superman,”We have some really great choices, which I’m excited about.” Back in March, James also revealed that he will be directing the upcoming film himself.

Sources revealed to Malkin that Fodé sent in a self-tape and that Gunn liked what he saw.  Pierson played the role of B&B’s Thomas from 2015-2018 and was twice nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award during his run.

If Fodé was chosen for the Man of Steel, he would follow in the footsteps of another former daytime star, Sasha Calle (ex-Lola, Y&R) who is about to debut next week as Supergirl in the motion picture The Flash.

So, could you see Pierson as the next Clark Kent/Superman? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
