Melissa Ordway Returning to 'The Young and the Restless' After Maternity Leave

The Young and the Restless actress Melissa Ordway has been on maternity leave since giving birth to daughter Sophie on December 9. She's heading back to Y&R next week to start filming again as Abby.

"Exciting stuff, guys," she shared in an Instagram story. "Next week I am officially off maternity leave so I will be back filming next week."

Ordway, who was leaving the set after a meeting, added, "I’m super-excited. It was so good to see everyone…. Abby is baaack!"

There's no indication at this point that Daniel Hall might also be returning as Scott Grainger. Scott left Genoa City last month.
