Cady McClain Is Y&R’s New Kelly!

By Chris Eades

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Kelly is about to get an extreme makeover as daytime vet Cady McClain (Dixie, ALL MY CHILDREN; Rosanna, AS THE WORLD TURNS) is taking over for Cynthia Watros, who was unable to juggle the soap with her new role in the upcoming MTV series FINDING CARTER. A rep for Y&R confirms the recast, adding “We are excited to welcome Cady to the show.”

Watros posted to Facebook that she was leaving for Atlanta in two weeks for a five-month shoot. “A big, big thank you to the Y&R cast and crew,” she wrote. “I loved being on your show. Thank you Y&R fans, I love how passionate you are. I’m sorry I couldn’t stay. I hope I didn’t let you down.”

Watros’ last day on set will be Friday, March 14, and she is scheduled to last air as Kelly on Wednesday, April 16. McClain first reports for work on Wednesday, March 26, and will first air on Thursday, April 24. So it looks like Kelly will be sticking around Genoa City for a while, now. But will she keep pursuing Billy or set her sights on another man?
