Viewers finally heard Aristotle Dumas’ voice on the June 19 episode of The Young and the Restless. And the person he wanted to know about was… Abby? That’s odd.
Everybody knows Abby is the least interesting Newman. Even Victor, who is all about family, periodically forgets she exists. So why did Dumas ask about her specifically? We have the wildest theory yet!
Out of the Past
Abby (Melissa Ordway) is the biological child of Ashley (Eileen Davidson) and Victor (Eric Braeden). But she wasn’t conceived during their marriage. She wasn’t even the result of an affair.

They can take a blood test on the spot. And then the fun will really begin.
