On The Young and the Restless, Devon (Bryton James) and Abby (Melissa Ordway) may not know where their wedding will be, but it won't stop some special guests from making it to the ceremony.

According to Soap Opera Digest, Devon will have more family members attending the wedding when Loren Lott returns as Ana, and Chene' Lawson appears as Harmony.

In 2005, Chene' Lawson originated the role of Harmony, also known as Yolanda Hamilton, Devon's biological mother. Yolanda had been on and off drugs for years, but when she turned her life around, she changed her name to Harmony.

Soap vet Debbi Morgan also played the character from 2011 to 2012, but Lawson reprised the role when Harmony was last seen in 2023.

Harmony had returned to Genoa City and had a surprise visit with Devon. At the time, Bryton James (Devon) told Soap Opera Digest that working with Lawson again after 18 years was "like stepping into a time machine."

James noted that Lawson hadn't changed almost two decades later. He said, "It was one of those amazing moments on stage when you truly don't have to act, you just look at each other, and all of the history and love comes right to the surface."

Devon's sister Ana is back

Y&R fans will remember Loren Lott as Devon's talented half-sister, Ana, who was last seen on the show in 2019.

Lott told Soap Opera Digest in 2022, "Three weeks after I moved to L.A., I booked YOUNG AND RESTLESS and it was just fate. I absolutely fell in love with Bryton [James, Devon], who played my brother. It was a dream working with him and forming a friendship that has lasted since the show. We still hang out, he's still my big brother, and he still gives me so much guidance in this industry."

Lott also noted that she thought it was "cool" that as Ana, she was able to sing on the show. There has been no confirmation on whether or not Ana will perform at Devon and Abby's wedding or the reception.

In the interview, Lott said she hoped to return to The Young and the Restless one day and reprise the role. "I want to do more movies but I would love to pop back into Y&R now and then. [...] I would love for Ana to visit Devon, then leave so I can do my movies, and then pop back in," Lott said.

Looks like Lott got her wish. Lott and Lawson will return to The Young and the Restless for several episodes, starting with the show's 13,000th episode, which airs November 13, 2024.

The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.
