BREAKING NEWS: Judith Chapman Dropped to Recurring Status

After six years with The Young and the Restless, the show has apparently run out of story ideas for Judith Chapman's (Gloria Fisher) alter ego. The actress has been taken off contract with the top-rated CBS soap.

CBS Soaps In Depth first reported on Chapman's new status with Y&R, and some fans feared that they would no longer see the actress mixing it up in Genoa City. However, as the magazine duly noted, being placed on recurring status is not that unusual in daytime. Many of Chapman's Y&R co-stars have had a very successful run on the show as recurring players.

Chapman is expected to remain a part of the Y&R cast, making appearances as dictated by storyline.
