In addition, Courtney has a crush on Summer's brother, Noah Newman (Robert Adamson), which eventually develops into a romance.[26] Though it seems Courtney and Noah's relationship is smooth sailing from the beginning, Goss admitted that Courtney is "treading lightly". Speaking of the character's relationship with Noah, the actress stated: "She is an 18-year-old who is freaking out inside."[29]Soap Opera Digest was unfavorable of the series' decision to kill Courtney off, writing: "True, she was a peripheral character but so was Sharon until she married Nick almost 20 years ago (...) The same potential could have been realized for Ms Sloane, a smart and compassionate cop".[30] The magazine also said that Courtney "didn't get the airtime she deserved".[30]

Soon after, herself, along with the rest of the young crowd at the cabin, come up with a plan to cover up the murder, which goes against her duty as a cop. Two months later, Noah proposes to Courtney in Crimson Lights, saying that after all the events that happened to Summer and Austin, he does not want to live a second without her by his side.

She stated: "Melanie's a professional. She's very ambitious. Siobhan was more of a wanderer. She didn't know what she wanted. Melanie is very sure, driven and ambitious."[35]Soaps In Depth also said of Chambers' character, "And seeing how so many characters on Y&R are often in trouble with the law, she should be kept pretty busy, even though the role is currently only recurring."[36]Zap2it told viewers to look for "paralegal Melanie to mix it up with the always-in-need-of-legal-assistance Newman clan".[33] The character and her storyline were critically panned.[37] Upon news of her departure, Jillian Bowe of Zap2it remarked that "prayers have been answered".[37]
