SOAP Q: Out actress Clementine Ford leaving Y&R!

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 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.”
