Young and the Restless Comings & Goings: Abby Newman Shocker

Recently, on Young and the Restless the Abby Newman actress, Melissa Ordway, shared an update with her fans while answering questions on Instagram. One of the questions was about her gorgeous, short new haircut.

Melissa revealed she needed a change because she is no longer on contract with Y&R. So, she wanted a fresh new look for auditions. Then, the news took on a life of its own on social media.

Fans worried that the character of Abby would be leaving Young and the Restless. Indeed, it comes as a shock seeing as she just married the love of her life, Devon Hamilton, on the show.

Thankfully, Melissa confirmed that she’s still on the soap with no plans of leaving. She loves playing Abby and she loves her fans. So hopefully, the fact that she isn’t on contract won’t impact her screen time too much.

Of course, Abby and Devon will be away on their honeymoon for a while on Young and the Restless. But, after that, we’re hoping to still see Abby Newman frequently with a new storyline.
