Between work, travel, and family, life is busy for The Young and the Restless star Melissa Ordway. But the actress always has time for her children. Recently, she and her daughter, Olivia, enjoyed one of their favorite pastimes.
Key Takeaways
- Ordway and her daughter, Olivia, had a dance off.
- Ordway always cherishes these moments with her children.
- The actress and her Y&R co-stars are known to participate in dance-offs on set.
Dance-Off
While Ordway is famous for her role as Abby on Y&R, her most favorite role is mom. These days, the actress has a busy schedule, flying back and forth between Nashville and Los Angeles for work. But once she’s at home, her attention is focused on her daughters, Olivia and Sophie.
Ordway makes sure to enjoy the precious time she has with her children. So recently, when she took her eldest daughter, Olivia, to school, the two decided to have some fun. “10/10 recommend having a dance party in the car at school drop off,” Ordway wrote of the Instagram video of the mother-daughter dance-off.
While it was fun for Ordway, she also got a bit sentimental. “I hope she always remembers these little moments-the ones where it’s just us, laughing, dancing, connecting. My heart will never forget them. 🤍,” she captioned the post. The actress then praised Olivia’s dance moves in the comments, “One of my favorite dance partners ❤️.”
Y&R’s Dancing Crew
It’s no surprise that Olivia inherited her mother’s love of dancing. Ordway has been known to showcase her dance moves on the Y&R set alongside her co-stars.
In April, the actress had a dance party in the hair and make-up room. While Ordway was the center of attention, Amelia Heinle, Melissa Claire Egan, and Eileen Davidson stole the show with their dance moves.
Most recently, Ordway was one of the participants in a Halloween dance at Y&R. Set to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” Eric Braeden led his castmates in a recreation of the iconic dance. Among the stars joining Braeden and Ordway were Heinle, Courtney Hope, Bryton James, Christel Khalil, Christian Le Blanc, Michelle Stafford, and Billy Flynn.
Ordway and her co-stars have proved it’s always fun in the Y&R studio. Perhaps the next time the cast decides to do a dance-off, Ordway’s daughter Olivia can join in. As seen in her mom’s latest video, the youngster would be a great fit with the Y&R cast.
