After six years on "The Young and the Restless", Melissa Claire Egan has decided to part ways with the popular daytime soap. The actress announced her exit on Twitter, making sure to thank cast, crew and fans for their support.

"I love the show (and this genre) so very much, and am so grateful to this amazing crew and cast, especially my beyond wonderful Josh Morrow," Egan said of her exit in her tweet. "This cast, crew, and everyone behind the scenes at Sony and CBS are truly the best at what they do and are my family. To you incredible fans, thank you for EVERYTHING. This isn't goodbye. Truly. Just goodbye for now."

She's such a talent that it will be a shame for the show to lose her. They haven't given her any great material in a while, though. I know she's hoping to hit in big in prime time like Justin Hartley did, but he achieved something that most soap actors rarely do. But she does have the looks and the talent to back it up so I wish her well.
