“IIt has always been a dream of mine to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award and to bring my parents to the show. It was about to come true, until I tested positive for Covid yesterday afternoon. I’m so disappointed that I won’t be able to celebrate with everyone on Friday. I’ve cried lots of tears,” Ordway wrote. “Thankfully, I’m asymptomatic. I’m super grateful no one in our home is sick. What a blessing.
“To my Daytime community, have the best time. Wish I could be there but I’ll be watching from home and cheering on all of the nominees! Y&R bring home the gold! Love you all! And to everyone at CBS and Sony thank you for everything. So grateful to play Abby.”

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Which CBS Soap Stars Are Next?
Ordway was one of a handful of CBS soap stars who recently traveled to the Monte Carlo TV festival to promote both The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. Her Y&R co-star, Jason Thompson, who plays Abby’s Uncle Billy, also tested positive for COVID. He is nominated in the Outstanding Lead Actor category.
The other stars in Monte Carlo were B&B stars Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester), Krista Allen (Taylor Hayes), Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester), and Tanner Novlan (John ‘Finn’ Finnegan). We wish Thompson and Ordway a speedy recovery and an easy time with the virus.
