Congrats to Melissa Ordway (Abby, Y&R) who was selected as the performer of the week. Click here to learn more--->>
While fans have been divided on the Dominic storyline on “The Young & The Restless”, there’s no denying that Melissa Ordway (Abby) has been phenomenal at displaying Abby’s struggles to keep her family together. In this past week’s episodes, Devon had stated that he wanted to sue for shared legal custody of Dominic which infuriated Abby. Abby took his legal stance as an attack on her and Chance as parents and felt threatened that Devon wanted to be Dominic’s sole father. Ordway excelled at selling Abby as an overprotective mother who is desperate to keep her husband and son safe while also being in denial as to just how much Chance has been struggling since returning home. When Abby and Chance have a moment to themselves, Chance is vulnerable with Abby and describes how bad he has been coping and fears he won’t be there for their son and for her in the way he should be. He tries to convince Abby that it is in their son’s best interest to have Devon involved. Ordway’s softened expressions and body language as Abby’s heart is breaking seeing her husband in so much pain tugged at fan’s heart strings. Even further when Abby and Chance meet with Devon to let him know that they agree to his terms; fans can tell that this decision is not what Abby truly wants. Abby didn’t even have to speak, it was all expressed through Ordway’s brilliant acting choices of facial expressions and body language. Now that Abby has a better sense as to just how much Chance is struggling, fans are curious to see how Abby will continue to be there for her family and know that Ordway will continue to deliver.
