Special Experience
Ordway has traded Genoa City, Wisconsin, for Sugarcreek, Ohio, for her new role. The actress landed the part of Lacey in an upcoming episode of the Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries.
The series, based on the popular Guidepost books, follows gift shop owner Cheryl (Galadriel Stineman) as she uncovers secrets and mysteries in her community. One of Cheryl’s latest mysteries happens to involve Ordway’s character Lacey, a rising superstar who comes to town to escape the media.
Being part of the Up TV series was an unforgettable experience for Ordway. On Instagram, the actress reflected on some special moments while on location for the show.
”Almost a year ago, we went to Sugarcreek, Ohio, to film a show and left with so much more than I ever expected. Sweet friendships, a little glimpse into the Amish community, memories I’ll never forget, and somehow…a new puppy.” Ordway shared some photos of her in an Amish dress, along with her family and new puppy, enjoying the sights of Sugarcreek.
”What started as a job turned into such a special experience and I’m so excited that you finally get to see it!” Fans can catch Ordway’s episode and other episodes of Sugarcreek on the UP Faith & Family streaming platform.
Meanwhile, in Genoa City
Ordway’s characters tend to always find trouble. While Lacey is dealing with a mystery in Sugarcreek, back in Genoa City, Abby’s facing her own drama.
Abby and her husband Devon (Bryton James) have been at odds over Mariah (Camryn Grimes). Devon wants Mariah in prison for kidnapping Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark), but Abby wants them to move on. Devon’s stubbornness over the matter has led to issues with him and Abby.
But his breakthrough with Mariah could help Devon. He admitted he blames himself for what happened to Dominic because he wasn’t keeping an eye on things himself. Mariah then asked Devon to forgive himself and not let anger control his life.
Will Devon follow Mariah’s advice? Or will his anger get the best of him and cause more distance between him and Abby?
