Melissa Ordway gives disappointing update on Abby’s return in The Young and the Restless
Recently, Melissa Ordway openly disclosed that her contract with Young and Restless has been terminated. Since 2013, she had been portraying the character Abby Newman on the show. She was candid about this transition, acknowledging that it wasn’t her decision to bring about this change.
In her Instagram video (via Soap Opera Digest), she clarified that although there have been significant fan responses to her confirmation, she remains on the show “Young and Restless” and continues to portray the character Abby. However, she is now performing this role in a different manner.
I wish for Abby, Devon, and Dominic to have an incredible love journey filled with more children. I hope to be present as often as I can throughout their story. I also hope that Abby continues to write her own stories. All of this is what I fervently desire and pray for. I’m eagerly looking forward to it. I truly care for Abby, enjoy playing her, and want to be a part of it.” The actress expressed this sentiment.
After that, Ordway occasionally made appearances on the show. In fact, she recently showed up in an episode and interacted with fans through Instagram Stories, answering their spontaneous questions.
When a fan inquired about her current situation with The Young and the Restless, Ordway replied, “I returned for a few episodes in May, which are airing now. However, they haven’t asked me to return again yet. I adore playing Abby and would be thrilled to reprise my role if they extend an invitation.
