'The Young and the Restless' Actress Reveals Future With CBS Soap
Melissa Ordway (Abby) updated fans on her status with The Young and the Restless. The actress is currently back on-screen thanks to Abby joining many other Genoa City residents in France for Cane's (Billy Flynn) latest game.
However, it's no secret that Ordway was taken off contract last fall. Ordway previously shared it simply means that Y&R fans will see less of Abby.Even though she's on-screen now, it doesn't mean that Ordway or Abby are back full-time. In fact, the actress recently revealed where she stands with the hit CBS soap.
According to Soap Opera Digest, Ordway shared an Instagram Story Q&A session where she answered fan questions and addressed her status with The Young and the Restless.
'Lots of YR questions. I went back for a few episodes in May that have begun to air now but they have not asked me to come back for anymore [sic]. Love to play Abby and would love to come back if they ask me,' the outlet shared, adding that Ordway added a red heart emoji to show her love for Y&R.
Ordway teased her latest stint as Abby in an Instagram share, revealing some behind-the-scenes moments filming with some of her favorite cast members.
Since the CBS soap is no longer utilizing her character, Ordway has been living her best life in Tennessee with her husband, Justin Gaston, and their two daughters, Olivia and Sophie.
Here's hoping the next time Y&R brings back Abby, the show taps into Ordway's talents more.
The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.

James Gunn Reportedly Cut a NSFW Joke From SUPERMAN — GeekTyrant
James Gunn has never been shy about injecting irreverent humor into his movies. Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad are proof of that. But, when it comes to Superman , the tone is a little different. The Man of Steel isn't a rebel or an antihero; he's DC's symbol of hope. So while Gunn still brings his trademark wit style, and direction, it's not shocking to hear a NSFW joke got the axe before the film's release. The cut gag didn't come from Superman himself, but from one of his new allies. According to X user @ViewerAnon, the joke appeared during a major action sequence where Superman (David Corenswet) battles a kaiju-sized monster unleashed by Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). The fight is a big spectacle and it's also where the Justice Gang joins in on the fun: Guy Gardner's Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabella Merced), and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi). The heroes team up to bring the beast down, though Superman insists on avoiding killing the creature. In the aftermath, things get lighthearted, at least in the original cut, when Guy lobbed this NSFW line at Supes:
