The Young and Restless Spoilers – Where Does The Couple Go From Here?
Abby and Chance’s marriage may hit a rocky bump, but this doesn’t mean the end for them. Chance loves Abby and has proven he’s devoted to her. He’s not going to leave her because she can’t have children.
With Abby unable to carry a baby, she and Chance may look for other solutions. The first option is adoption.
Abby and Chance have the resources to provide a child with a good home. With them coming from two of Genoa City’s prominent families, they’d be good candidates for adoption.
The storyline could delve into Chance’s past and how his stepfather Ryan McNeil (Scott Reeves) treated him like he was one of his own. Another option for the couple is surrogacy.
The couple could seek out a surrogate to carry their child. Abby and Chance will want someone they can trust to carry their baby. With them having a close circle of friends, one of their pals could volunteer.
Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) is one possibility. The character doesn’t have a storyline of her own, and being a surrogate for Abby would make for a compelling story.
This could lead to issues with Mariah and Tessa Porter’s (Cait Fairbanks) relationship, plus it’ll give Mariah an opportunity to come to terms with her past.
Aside from Mariah, Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle) and Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) are also contenders for being a surrogate.
Of course, whichever method Abby and Chance choose in having a baby, it’s sure to cause drama with a third person involved.
