Melissa Claire Egan is getting much-deserved recognition for those rooftop scenes on The Young and the Restless as Chelsea Lawson. Chelsea was about to take her own life by jumping off the rooftop but Billy (Jason Thompson) saved her and she broke down in tears. It was a performance to remember, one that moved so many including her co-star, Eric Braeden who plays Victor Newman. As the praises for the actress circulated on Twitter, Braeden chimed in, “MELISSA CLAIRE EGAN HAS GIVEN ABSOLUTELY RIVETING PERFORMANCES!! I was very moved!” When Egan responded thanking the long-time Y&R actor, he added, “You have moved me, girl! A testament to how damn real you were in those scenes!!”
