Out actress Clementine Ford leaving CBS soap “The Young and the Restless” on Nov. 5
Clementine Ford, the beautiful out actress and daughter of Cybil Shepherd, will be written out of The Young and the Restless in early November, according to Soap Opera Digest.
Her character of Mackenzie Browning had been involved with JT played by Thad Luckinbill (pictured below) who is also leaving the show Nov. 5.
Clementine, who acted with her mother on Showtime’s The L Word, joined the show in March 2009. She told The Advocate shortly after being cast: “I am a lucky bitch! It’s so nerve-wracking. It’s like I felt on The L Word when I went into that core group who has been together forever. I was surprised because you hear horror stories about going in, and the intimidation of the group. I thought, “Well, this will never happen again,” and then I get this job. I am nervous, but my friend, Y&R’ s Greg Rikaart (Kevin), told me wonderful things about everyone on the show. And sure enough, everybody is great.”
Paul says:
It appears that all the nice characters on the show are getting their walking papers. Last week it was Chance, a really decent, nice guy, until the writers did a character assassination on him and now CF? From reading the Y&R boards, it seems that the powers that be cater to viewers who like the dark side. I have no expectations anymore that Adam (one of the most evil characters ever created on a soap) will ever leave. Another point, on yesterday’s show Thom B. mentioned that he might go to Australia again. Please don’t tell me that they’re discarding him again.
Mike says:
Wow, I didn’t even know she was an out actress! I’m really going to miss JT, cute as all out, but, he hasn’t had a good plot line in a couple of years.
Bruce Morgan says:
Thank God for small favors. This is the worse casting job ever with this non talented person. She has the personality of a fence post.
Melissa says:
I am going to miss, both Mac and J.T, I was just starting to like them as a couple. I think Y&R, is making a big mistake letting them go. They should get rid of Heather and Meggie instead.

I agree with Bruce-she’s a bore!
