'The Young and the Restless' Actress Reveals Future With CBS Soap
'The Young and the Restless' Actress Reveals Future With CBS Soap originally appeared on Parade.
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 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.
