Melissa Ordway often travels to California to work on The Young and the Restless. However, on the morning before one of her flights, the actress had many chores to complete.

Key Takeaways

  • Ordway and her family live in Nashville, Tennessee.
  • The actress travels to Los Angeles for her work on Y&R.
  • On one travel day, the actress had a list to finish before the flight.

Mom First

Ordway and her husband, Justin Gaston, call Nashville their home. While the actress loves living in Tennessee, she often has to travel to Los Angeles for work. Since she still plays Abby on Y&R, the star is often traveling back and forth between the two cities.

Doing all that traveling would be exhausting for anyone, but one particular morning, it was tiring for Ordway. On Instagram, the star detailed her morning before a recent flight to L.A.

The video started with Ordway sitting at the kitchen table, helping her daughters, Olivia and Sophie, with their homework. “Good morning,” she greeted her followers. “It’s kind of a busy day. We’re trying to get this done, then I’m headed to L.A. And I have a lot to do this morning.”

After helping Olivia and Sophie finish their homework, Ordway showed fans a tree being planted in their front yard. “We have been waiting for this tree to be planted for over a year!” the actress happily exclaimed.

Ordway then got in a workout on her treadmill before getting back to more household and mom duties. “I’m gonna get the house all together and get everything perfectly situated for Justin before I leave. So outfits are picked out before I leave town. We have a Christmas performance tomorrow that they’re going to be part of, so I have the outfits ready.”

After getting the house ready and the outfits picked up, it was time to head to the airport. “See you soon L.A.,” the actress declared as she boarded her flight.

More Abby This Holiday Season

Ordway proved she was super mom as she finished everything before her long flight. When the actress arrived in L.A., she then had to prep for the upcoming filming at Y&R.

With Genoa City’s holiday season almost here, fans can expect to see Abby. As for whether Abby and Devon (Bryton James) spend Christmas with the Newmans, Abbotts, or Winters remains to be seen. But it’s going to be a jolly time for the couple and their son Dominic (River and Rainn Ware).

However, the New Year might bring problems for the family. James recently hinted that trouble was coming for Abby and Devon’s marriage. Could 2026 spell the end for Dabby?
