Sad News: Abby Dies – Melissa Ordwa Officially Leaves Y&R Forever

The Young and the Restless spoilers suggest Melissa Ordway recently did a fun Q&A session on her Instagram Story, inviting fans to ask her questions. With that said, she provided an update on her character Abby Winters, confirming that fans won’t be seeing her anytime soon.
The anticipation is mounting in Nice right now, as Genoa City’s elite continue to question what Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) is really up to.
They’ve recently learned that Lily Winters’ (Christel Khalil) ex is Aristotle Dumas, and now they await the final shoe to drop, as more bombshells are on the horizon.
One major storyline that has been hinted at is a ‘Who Dunit?’ murder mystery.
This was not only mentioned by Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman) some weeks back when he did a Cameo with a fan, but Cane recently confirmed that the reason he asked Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) to attend the summer party at his chateau was because he believes someone wants to murder him, and asked Chance to investigate.
It’s hard to think that the Y&R writers would go through all this trouble to bring Cane back, only to get rid of him, so fans are speculating that someone else could get caught in the crossfire of this instead of the intended target.
Some Y&R viewers have speculated that it could be Chance himself, as actor Conner Floyd is on recurring status with the soap, which makes him expendable.
But, he has also started a new job as Chad DiMera on Days of Our Lives – entering the very role Billy Flynn exited to join the Young and the Restless.
Still, another character that is on recurring status, thus expendable, is Abby Winters. Abby’s passing away in Nice would certainly create shock value, sadness, and drama.
It would also give Devon Hamilton-Winters (Bryton James) – and everyone else at the party – an even bigger reason to hate Cane.
Still, why would anyone speculate that Abby, of all characters, could die? Back to Ordway and her Q&A session on her IG Stories, the actress received plenty of questions from fans that ranged from how tall she is to her favorite snack.
Plus there were multiple queries about her status with the CBS soap, which she addressed in one slide.
In it, Ordway wrote, “Lots of Y&R questions period I’ll answer in one slide… 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 more.”
She added, “Love the show. Love to play, Abby, and would love to come back if they ask me.”
Based on the above timeline, fans won’t see Abby after the storyline in France wraps up, and it doesn’t look like they’ll see her anymore this summer.
Ordway’s comments also seem to indicate some sort of ‘closure’ with Abby. Is this the end of the road for Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) and Ashley Abbott’s (Eileen Davidson) daughter?
This might be the case, and as Abby won’t be returning after Cane’s summer party, it’s hard not to think that she could be the one meeting their demise when it comes to the murder mystery storyline.
After all, other than being Devon’s plus-one, Abby hasn’t served much purpose at the party or this arc.
Plus, if someone else does get murdered, wouldn’t Abby be needed for dialogue scenes in the aftermath of it all, since she was there?
The Young and the Restless spoilers imply some major moments up ahead as someone in Nice is about to get axed off the canvas for good! So, will that character be Abby Winters?
