‘The Young And The Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers show viewers may have been surprised by Abby Newman and Devon’s hookup, but actors Melissa Ordway and Bryton James have been looking forward to it for ten years. I’ve been putting it out there in the universe for years that I wanted to work more with Bryton, so “I’m pretty sure I manifested this,” she laughs.
Ordway was actually dubious when headwriter and co-executive producer Josh Griffith told her what was going to happen. She explained to us, “I didn’t believe him, because I’d been asking for this to happen for so long.” Nevertheless, when I read it in the script, I thought, “Oh, this time it’s for real!”
‘The Young And The Restless’ Spoilers: Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman) And Bryton James (Devon Hamilton) Reveal What’s Next For Their Characters
James was also taken aback despite having almost taken this path before. He reminds us, “They played with the idea of Abby and Devon a little bit back when he was with Roxanne,” But for whatever reason, that was squashed later. Although neither of the characters could really explain how they ended up sleeping together, the actors who played them concur that it made perfect sense. James notes that “There’s been a subconscious attraction between them for years.”
The big question is whether or not Devon and Abby will continue their relationship after the lines have been crossed (and re-crossed). Ordway reflects, “I don’t know what’s going to happen because at this point, they’re both still trying to figure out how it happened and what it means.”
James concluded, “what’s interesting for me is the possibilities this opens up. There’s always been something between Abby and Devon. They’ve been best friends, so they understand each other in ways that other people in their lives don’t. Bonding over Dominick has only strengthened that. So I’m really excited to see where this goes!”
