'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.

T.J. Hooker Reboot in the Works at Netflix — But There's a Twist
Netflix has copped the rights to an iconic 1980s TV drama. The streaming service is developing T.J. Hooker, a feature-length action comedy based on the William Shatner police procedural, Deadline reports. The movie is being penned by Jarrad Paul and Andy Mogel, who previously created the short-lived (but fondly remembered) Fox comedy The Grinder. #TeenLife More from TVLine What to Watch in August: Your Guide to 130+ Premieres Across Broadcast, Cable and Streaming Every New Scripted Show Confirmed to Premiere in 2025 — Save the Dates! My Life With the Walter Boys Gets Even Messier in New Season 2 Trailer - Watch The original T.J. Hooker premiered as a midseason replacement in March 1982, and starred Star Trek veteran Shatner as Thomas Jefferson 'T. J.' Hooker, a sergeant in the Los Angeles County Police Department who was determined to rid the streets of criminals like those who murdered his former partner. The cast initially included Adrian Zmed (as Officer Vincent 'Vince' Romano), April Clough (as Officer Vicki Taylor) and Richard Herd (as Captain Dennis Sheridan). Clough departed after Season 1, at which point Heather Locklear joined the ensemble (as Officer Stacy Sheridan). James Darren (as Officer Jim Corrigan) and Hugh Farrington (as Detective Lieutenant Pete O'Brien) also co-starred. When ABC cancelled the series after four seasons, CBS swooped in and gave it a fifth (and final) season. All told, 91 episodes were produced and currently stream on Tubi. The reboot news follows the theatrical release of the new Naked Gun starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, which made $17 million domestically on opening weekend. According to Deadline, it is unclear if Shatner will have any involvement in the new T.J. Hooker — but TVLine will keep you posted as we learn more. Do you think is worthy of a style reboot?
