chelsea was originally portrayed as a con artist and bad girl. egan said that she "knew some people hate her", and she finds chelsea "fun because she's a con artist". catherine bach was cast in the role of anita lawson, chelsea's mother, to "play a vital role in egan's character storyline". egan said that "you see where chelsea gets it from because her mom is a con artist, but way worse than chelsea", and that "chelsea has more of a conscience than anita". jeffrey bardwell (ted shackelford) was then revealed as chelsea's father, after which egan said "it came out of nowhere", though "it’s great to have so many people to be intertwined with, if you will." on the topic of her character's personality, the actress said: "the viewers met chelsea as a schemester and pregnant with child. she did not have any friends. and now, you will be able to see her personality. we can see her finally in some hot clothes, maybe a skirt, and high heels. she is no longer the beached whale at the bar." in an interview in 2013, egan stated that she thought chelsea had "certainly evolved a lot", saying: "well she’s certainly evolved a lot; i mean she’s done a complete 180 as far as her intentions are. when i started, like you said, she was kind of a con artist, and manipulative, and doing things for money, and you know – completely, kind of not a very good person. but since then, she’s fallen in love, she’s gotten married – she’s gotten divorced! –and experienced life, its highs and lows and ups and downs and learned about family she didn’t know she had. she’s gotten closer to certain members of her family and gained friendships. i don’t think chelsea was someone who had girlfriends before when she was on the road and cons don’t really have good relationships. so she’s just a better person; a better human being. she’s kind of lived life a little bit and definitely become more of a genuine, well-rounded person."
