Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman Abbott) has nothing but praise for the trio of actors who make up her play family on The Young and the Restless.
Melissa Ordway Dishes About Close Ties To Abbott Family Players
On Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott), Ordway could but gush to Soap Opera Digest: “First of all, I always love working with [her], and I really love, when she gets any sort of love story,. It just makes me so happy that Aunt Traci has a new man in her life because she needs some love, too, and, I mean, who wouldn’t be in love with Aunt Traci? She is the heart and soul of the Abbott family and I feel like every time Beth is on camera, the audience is getting a warm hug coming through the TV. She just makes you feel so good.”
On Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott): “Honestly, what does that man not know? He really is the most knowledgeable person about everything and he’s so much fun. I got to sit next to him at [this year’s Daytime] Emmys and I said to him, ‘How did I get so lucky that I get to sit next to you?’ Not only did we have an awesome time, we also had great conversation throughout the whole evening. I definitely had the best seat in the house.”
As to who she turns to for some sound advice: “If I need help about school stuff with my daughters, I’m like, ‘Eileen [Davidson, Ashley Abbott], I need help with this,’ and she has a million answers for me. For something else, I go straight to Beth, so I feel like I’m completely covered in the advice department, that’s for sure. I’m a very lucky girl in that respect.”
