Amelia Heinle: Nearing the End of Her Contract So What’s She Planning?

A shocking message during a live Facebook chat session with Amelia Heinle (Victoria) has some fans worried they’ll soon see the departure of the Young and the Restless (Y&R) star.

During the online fan event, one fan asked Heinle what she could see herself doing if she hadn’t gone into acting.

“I was thinking about that the other day,” Heinle responded. “I am nearing the end of my contract.”

During the last three years, the audience has felt the loss of some wildly popular fan favorites, including Billy Miller (ex-Billy), Michael Muhney (ex-Adam), and Michelle Stafford (ex-Phyllis).

There’s no official word that Heinle will depart Genoa City, so fans should remain hopeful that a new contract works out. Heinle has played Victoria Newman for the 11 years and is wildly popular on the show.
