After Y&R’s prop department handed over Chelsea Lawson’s ID, portrayer Melissa Claire Egan couldn’t help but share details about her character that even she hadn’t been aware of. “I just wanna thank our prop guys and gals for saying [Chelsea’s] 5’3”, which is true,” Egan said in her Instagram story (as per Soaps.com). “And also saying she is 110 pounds? Also true…” she continued, shaking her head, “and saying I was born in 1985.” While Egan, 40, quibbled with her birth date, saying she’s a Libra and not a Taurus, she added, “It’s fine, it’s fine! I was born in 1985, it’s fine!”

While Goddard has yet to fill fans in on the big news, we should keep in mind that Friday was April Fool’s.
