Veteran daytime actress Judith Chapman has been dropped to recurring status on CBS’s The Young and the Restless.

Veteran daytime actress Judith Chapman has been dropped to recurring status on CBS’s The Young and the Restless. Chapman has been part of the soaps regular cast since 2005 when she took over the role of Gloria Fisher from previous actress Joan Van Ark (best known for her role of Valene Ewing in Dallas/Knots Landing). Judith Chapman has now been dropped from the contract cast seemingly because producers have run out of storylines for her character.

Although the actress will still continue to appear in The Young and the Restless as Gloria it will be on a ‘as and when’ basis dictated by storylines. Chapman is a daytime veteran having appeared in several other soaps; As The World Turns, Ryan’s Hope, General Hospital and Days of our Lives.
