Melissa Ordway Opens up About Abby Marrying Devon on YR

Abby was surprised and delighted when Devon popped the question on The Young & The Restless , and quickly agreed to marry him. However, after that initial wave of euphoria, some doubts have begun to creep in. And given Abby’s romantic history — which has been rocky, to say the least! — those doubts are totally understandable.

“I can definitely relate to Abby with that,” Melissa Ordway told Soap Opera Digest . “You start thinking about things too much and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, what am I doing? This is bad. This could end terribly!’ This is her one true love and he’s everything that she’s ever wanted, and it feels so perfect now. They don’t even really argue because they just fit together so perfectly.

“But I think she’s worried that once you put the marriage title on it, it’s going to change everything because she’s been so unsuccessful in that department,” she continued. “She loves Devon so much that she doesn’t want to ruin this and make him collateral damage in her relationship mishaps. She’s sensing a pattern; she’s been married to Stitch and Chance and they didn’t work out, and didn’t work out with Arturo after they got engaged. And now the last thing that Abby would ever want is to hurt Devon because he’s the love of her life and also her best friend.”

After Abby expressed these fears during a video call with her mother, Ashley was able to assure her that such feelings were normal and asked her to look at what she felt in her heart. However, whatever new confidence that call sparked certainly fizzed out when she ran into Kyle, who offered to have his attorney draw up divorce papers now so she’ll have them when the inevitable time comes.
