Young & Restless’ Chelsea has been going through a tough time this spring, what with Connor’s ongoing, and frankly worsening, issues, but the actress appears to be teasing a rebound of sorts for her character for the summer that’s… fun! Or at the very least was fun for her to play. Keep reading to get the details.

In a recent interview on the Daytime Emmys red carpet, Egan dodged Michael Fairman‘s question about Chelsea and Adam getting back together and instead elected to share hints about a major upcoming storyline for her character.

To clarify, Egan did not say ‘no’ to a “Chadam” reunion, but instead touted “an amazing, juicy, fun storyline happening this summer.” Things that make you go, “Hmm.”

Warning Young & Restless viewers to “stay tuned”, Egan elaborated, “Chelsea’s involved in something and it has been so much fun to play.” One can’t help but wonder if it’s a break up with Billy, who is back to gambling in a sense as he continues to take risks at Chancellor-Winters in the name of solidifying Jill’s legacy, and who has been spending a lot of time focused on getting Lily to re-team with him… and — *Spoiler Alert* — it’s only about to intensify.

Billy rolling the dice, even figuratively, isn’t going to go over well with Chelsea, we’re guessing, but that’s only part of the equation. As Billy chases his latest high at work, Chelsea has been growing closer to Adam again while they grapple with the pain of their son’s OCD, which only the two of them can truly share. There have been an increasing number of close encounters between the two, granted that have taken place in the name of comfort, but we aren’t new here… we all know commisseration leads to romantic connections on soaps. And new connections lead to heartache… in this case, potentially for Adam’s live-in girlfriend Sally.

Perhaps that explains the more cryptic part of Egan’s tease: “It’s so fun and juicy and you guys (the audience) are gonna love it, or, even if you don’t love it, you’re gonna feel passionate about it.”

Yeeeah, this deffo sounds like fun and trouble all mixed together. After all, when daytime fans feel ‘passionate’ about something it may mean they vocally dislike it!

Let’s not forget that Sally is currently working at Marchetti in Chelsea’s former position as Interim Creative Director. Will they end up working together if Summer wants them to collaborate… even as they become romantic rivals again?! You say juicy, we say messy!

Of course, this is mere speculation based on Egan’s teasing remarks. What do you think will happen for Chelsea this summer? What would you like to see?
