Elizabeth Hendrickson has been in a recurring role on The Young and the Restless since February but her character was recently upgraded as she was thrust into a front burner storyline with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard), not to mention the revelation that she was actually the daughter of longtime character Esther Valentine (Kate Linder), the maid at the Chancellor mansion.
"It's true," Hendrickson told the New York Daily News of her character's shocking storyline that aired late August. "Chloe is really Kate, Esther's daughter. She hasn't seen Esther this whole time, and has never been to the Chancellor mansion. [Cane's mother] Jill was going to throw them an engagement party, but Chloe got out of that by saying, 'Let's elope.'"
