The Young and the Restless New: Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman) Is Trying To Be Less Of A Klutz

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Abby says that the cast and crew of the hit CBS soap have seen her at her worst. And by that, she says that they have seen her “trip, stumble, slide, slip and run” into things over the years. That’s why there was behind-the-scenes concerns when Melissa was supposed to descend the grand staircase at the Chancellor mansion for her character’s nuptials.

Melissa told the publication in a new interview, “I had to do several test runs in heels before we even shot the wedding. They knew exactly who they were working with. They wanted to make sure I could walk in those really high heels without falling down the stairs. It looks so much more elegant to come down the staircase without looking down at your feet so it appears you are almost gliding.
