The last time we saw Chelsea on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS was back in August 21 when she left Genoa City to take Connor to a new school out of town since he was getting bullied at his old one. Connor didn’t want to stay at that school. So as mom, she did what she thought was best for him. But in real life, the actress was actually on maternity leave.
