Heartbreak For Y&R’s Abby Newman ‘Saying Good bye’

Fans of The Young and the Restless have been wondering about Abby Newman’s whereabouts, as she has been noticeably absent from the show. The last time viewers saw Abby, she had a fiery confrontation with Ian Ward at Society, defending Tessa Porter. However, since then, she has disappeared from the storyline, while her husband, Devon Winters, has remained in the spotlight amid the unfolding drama with Nate Hastings and his newly discovered brother, Damen Cain.

So, where is Abby? The answer lies behind the scenes. Actress Melissa Ordway, who portrays Abby, was removed from her contract last year and shifted to recurring status. This means fans will see less of Abby, but it doesn’t mean she has completely left the show. In fact, Melissa has confirmed that she will be returning to Y&R soon.

Taking to Instagram, Melissa announced that she is back to filming, and fans can expect to see Abby in Genoa City alongside Devon, Victor Newman, and Michael Baldwin. Given the soap opera’s production schedule, her return is likely slated for late March or early April.

Off-screen, Melissa has been thriving with her husband, Justin Gaston, and their two daughters. She is also actively pursuing other acting opportunities, including a role in the TV series Blue Ridge. While her reduced presence on Y&R allows her to explore new projects, it also means she has more time to focus on her family.

Though Abby’s absence has left a void, fans can rest assured that she will be making a return soon. Stay tuned for more Young and the Restless updates!
