The Young and the Restless Melissa Ordway shares her travel plans 

Fans of Melissa Ordway, who plays Abby Winters on The Young and the Restless, know that the actress splits her time between Tennessee, where she resides with her family, and Los Angeles whenever she visits her daytime TV family. Now, the fan favorite is sharing with folks what it's like to make her commute with her family in tow!

Melissa Ordway gets from home to The Young and the Restless

Sometimes, the best-laid plans go awry. Ordway started to record a video that would show her followers how to pack for a flight as a mom whose daughters, Olivia and Sophie, are home-schooled. Her goal was to fit everything into one carry-on.

"But it turned into something else," the actress explained in an Instagram post. She posed the following question after getting a preferred seat on board her flight. She asked: "If you were upgraded but your family was not, would you take the upgraded seat?"

Well, as viewers can see in Ordway's video, she did just that. While she sat more in the front of the plane, her husband, Justin Gaston (ex-Ben, Days of our Lives), and the couple's children sat towards the back of the plane.

Ordway's video shows her starting to sort her daughters' school books. "Life of a homeschool mom," she shared. "I had every intention of making that a packing video, but then I forgot to film myself packing."

Taking a story in a new direction

It's not unusual for a soap opera star's story to go in a new direction. So, Ordway embraced the new road she traveled by making a new video that included footage of her sitting in her upgraded seat. She traveled to the back of the plane where Gaston and their children were sitting. He quipped that his seat was very near the restroom.

"It became more about how I was in the front of the plane and they were where," Ordway told her followers. When she visited her husband and children by their seats, Gaston quipped that his seat was very near the restroom! "We sat right by the toilet," the actor/singer playfully groused in Ordway's video.

Trending

On-screen, Ordway is headed for some bigger drama than airplane musical chairs. Mishael Morgan is set to reprise her role as Amanda, the former love of Abby's husband Devon (Bryton James). Could a triangle be in the works? Our guess is yes!
