I’m really sadden to see her leave Y&R. I thought she played Avery beautifully. She had away of making you feel the way Avery was feeling in her scenes. I wish her lots of luck in her next career move. I will definitely be rooting for her.

I have just one question…………Why does she have to go!!!!! She is one of the best actresses on the show!!!!

jessica was beautiful and talented, especially her last story being torn between dylan and joe and ultimately agonizing over joe s abuse!
going to miss her no nonsense intelligent portrayal of the very few smart people in genoa city now that pratts writing everyone like a moron with no feelings or morals!
hope she returns when a real head writer returns to write y n r!

Loved Avery and loved the potential for her and Joe before poor Joe got thrown under the writers bus. Will miss this character terribly…but the show must go on and I will continue to watch. Maybe one day Avery will be back! Keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck to Jessica!

Avery was just window dressing for Phyllis. She was a nice character but didn’t have any real spark. The writing was on the wall for her once Michelle Stafford chose to leave-She lasted longer than I thought. She is a decent actress (not a powerhouse), I remember her from her days on Loving way back when. I am sure she will land on her feet. There was nowhere else for her to go on Y & R and I think she will be glad she is leaving. The show is a mess right now and a lot of it is NOT watchable.

R they gonna recast her love r as Avery every time they have someone good they get rid of them sad.

I wish her well and hope she will tell us what she will be doing in the future. She was invested with her script but lacked passion with her on-screen men. Wonder if her role with be recasted?

The character went downhill when Phelps came aboard and paired her with Dylan, otherwise I enjoyed the character and have always liked the actress.

Did she quit or was she written out? I can’t find the exact wording anywhere.

Being the younger sister of Phyllis, the character had a LOT of potential. None of the writers really followed through on that potential or seemed to have any idea what they wanted to do with this character.

Collins is very attractive and a competent actress. Personally, I don’t think she has a lot of screen “presence” but admit that I have not seen her in another role. I liked Collins but, when there was some effort to make her Avery a “lead” character (using her to introduce new characters), I viewed this as a mistake.

Maybe in a couple of years, someone will have a better handle on what to do with Avery and bring her back. I’d like to see the character have a little more “edge” than has presently been shown as she is Phyllis’ sister!

I thought she was let go. Do we know why she left? I liked seeing her flip out on Joe. I wish she had more scenes like that in all the time she was on the show.

Too bad she had to leave Y&R but who can blame her with the crap that is on there these days. She’s jumping the sinking ship.

please get rid of Hunter King and all that bunch.

Hoping she goes to Gh… I know they have a big cast but she would actually make a great addition..

Jessica Collins will be sorely missed. I enjoyed her acting and her character Avery! Best of luck Jessica!!!

It’s a sad day on the set of Yand R, there have been so many changes, in a very short
time frame. It’s hard to keepup with all of the new cast members. I would like to wish Jessica all of the best in whatever path her career takes her.

I will miss Jessica, she is a very good actress and it was always nice to see her. At times, Avery was a dull character, but she was great when paired with Nick, and her scenes with Christian LeBlanc were always great. I always hoped that, if the writers wanted to break up Michael and Lauren, they could try a Michael and Avery pairing. Anyhow, Jessica is a great actress and I’m sorry to see her go, but she will find new work elsewhere soon.

However, I wasn’t terribly surprised to hear she was leaving. The last few years have been a waste for her, being paired with Steve Burton (who has very little chemistry with almost everyone on the show) and that awful cooking show story. When Joe came to town, things got a little interesting, but even that story was dull. I agree with previous posts that a huge missed opportunity for Avery was to pair her with Jack, and have Phyllis wake up to find them together. That would have been interesting to see, instead of sending Kelly on the crazy train and creating a rivalry with Phyllis.

The real problem here is how Pratt is writing the show, seemingly as if he can’t have a strong female character within the middle-aged age range.
– Sharon is so reliant on men saving her, which is nothing new, but Pratt could have changed her back into a strong character;
– Phyllis, who has always been written as strong and sharp, is being duped by an imposter and written as a total moron;
– Chelsea doesn’t realize after MONTHS that she’s talking to, befriending, sleeping with and allowing her son near Adam;
– Sage allowed herself to be bullied by Adam and is now relying on Nick;
– Kelly was spun down to Psycho-ville and then murdered;
– Victoria is not involved in any real major story of her own;
– and Ashley is now battling illness…

It really shouldn’t be much of a surprise that Jessica decided to leave, because what would Avery become if she continued on the show? Avery has always been a smart, determined, no-nonsense type of character, but that no doubt would have changed drastically.

Hopefully, when Pratt is removed as head writer and CBS realized they need to regain Y&R’s sanity, Avery will return. I just pray that Pratt doesn’t kill her off. Since he took over, three characters have been killed and it’s only been 6 months.

So sorry Jessica is leaving the show. Please let us know where you go next.

My best wishes for the actress , Ms. Collins as she departs the show. She brought a different type of lawyer, and as the sister of the Phyllis Newman, their chemistry was simpatico, it simply worked. I would hope that the show’s producers replace her in the next 3 months, and if her character ending has been already on the storyboard, in the next six months, I am still 5 weeks behind in watching the series ,but I have CBS Access, thank you CBS…..I hope it is not some trashy ending that does not work with the history that they have already given us with and about her character history. I am sorry that she is gone, but like the others who have left, the show must go on!!!!

I am sorry to hear about Jessica leaving the show. I have enjoyed
Watching her in the role of Avery. The love interest between Dylan and Avery was great.

Jessica ,I will miss you. Best of luck with your career.

Omg I just read about this! I’ve been a loyal fan since I was a teenager I’m so ready to give up on this show this new writer is making a ridiculous show! Soon it will see the same outcome as guiding light it got so silly.. That’s probably why she left she was so beautiful very special look and talent ! Letting billy go and now Avery mistakes I do like the new Adam but he will surely leave if keep up these insane storylines realty Mexican cartel does he think his audience fools!
