‘The Young and the Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers say that it looks like Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) will continue to realize her dream of becoming a mother, with or without her husband Chance Chancellor by her side.
But now that the character’s portrayer Donny Boaz is no longer on the show, a lot of fans can’t help but wonder if Melissa Ordway’s real-life husband Justin Gaston should be his replacement. After all, Justin did a great job for filling in for Donny during his two-week hiatus late last year. Here’s what you need to know.
‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Should Justin Gaston Replace Donny Boaz As The New Chance Chancellor?
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Melissa says that she absolutely loved having her husband Justin working by her side and in front of the cameras.
She told the publication, “Oh, my gosh, it was honestly the most fun two weeks I’ve ever had and Justin had such a great time. It was so cool because obviously, he’s already friends with everyone on the show, so it was easy for him to step in. I felt like he and I got to celebrate the 12,000th episode together. Justin has almost been as big a part of the show the last eight years as I have, so it was great to share that with him. We just had a blast.”
Seeing how Melissa and Justin already have great chemistry (they are a real-life married couple, after all), a lot of fans think that Justin should be offered the role, especially since Abby still wants to have a baby.
Until that happens, we are going to continue keeping our fingers crossed in the hopes that Abby not only becomes a mother, but that she also gets to keep Chance by her side.
