A glimpse at Ehrich’s Fenmore on The Young and the Restless

Born to Michael Baldwin and Lauren Fenmore prematurely, Fenmore faced danger from an early life. Max Ehrich stepped into the role as Fenmore turned a teenager. Back home after a long stay at his half-brother Scotty’s place, Fenmore was moody and displayed teen angst. He reconnected with Summer Newman and soon they started dating.

Although initially critical, Ehrich’s Fenmore soon joined his girlfriend Summer in bullying Jamie. He became increasingly jealous of Jamie after Michael supported the victim. Things took an ugly turn as Michael and Lauren had Jamie move into their house. Later, Jamie fell into the snow and accused Fenmore of pushing. Michael believed Jamie over Fenmore and the Baldwin scion landed in prison. Later, Jamie admitted to having lied, and Fenmore was exonerated.

Fenmore held true love for Summer, who was in love with Kyle. As such, she framed Fen as a trouble-causer while tricking him into kissing her in Kyle’s presence. As the video of Fen taking a punch from Kyle became viral, the Baldwin scion turned to drugs. He spiraled further after learning about his mother’s affair with Carmine. He overdosed and tried to frame Carmine for it before being checked into a rehab.

Max Ehrich played Fenmore Baldwin’s troubled teen arc to perfection, featuring the angst, sadness, dark side, bullying and a desperate attempt to find love and trust. While Fenmore is not in the current storyline, The Young and the Restless continues to air on CBS every weekday.
