On June 7, Soap Central correspondent Dan J Kroll interviewed Melissa Claire Egan on the red carpet for the Daytime Emmys 2024 held in Los Angeles. The actress, well-known for her roles as Chelsea Lawson on The Young and the Restless, and Annie Lavery on All My Children, reflected on her journey.
She mentioned being grateful for every opportunity she got to share with her co-stars, and the fact that she was able to be on platforms like the Daytime Emmys 2024 made her very happy about her career.
When asked about her character on the show, she mentioned Chelsea's recent story arc over the past year and teased that something good was on its way for audiences.
"Chelsea was recovering from a severe mental health issue and now her son has been struggling, so that's been really heartbreaking because she blames herself [...] She's kind of a mess right now."

She mentioned being grateful to share a platform with them and that she took something valuable every day she got to work alongside the show's cast.
"Legends. Queens. Icons. It's so cool [..] They're so incredible, it's just such a great celebration."
