The Young and the Restless
Y&R Spoilers: Where’s Abby? The Forgotten Newman Heiress Vanishes as Claire Takes Center Stage
Abby Newman has disappeared from The Young and the Restless as the Newmans welcome Claire. Why is Victor’s daughter being sidelined while a newcomer gets the royal treatment?
The Missing Newman
Where has Abby Newman been? Don’t ask a Newman. She hasn’t had a seat at the Newman table for years. However, Claire now Newman will have a seat alongside her grandmother Nikki Newman at Chancellor Winters. Let’s unpack a bit of the Newman family tree on Young & the Restless…
Victoria Newman’s Children, Just One is Named Newman
Reed Hellstrom (Tristan Lake Leabu), Victoria Newman’s (Amelia Heinle) oldest son with her ex-husband JT Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill) is a Hellstrom & not a Newman. Victoria’s son & daughter with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) are Abbotts & not Newmans. Now there’s Claire Grace renamed Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) on Young & the Restless. Claire’s father is the very much alive & well Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck). Why isn’t Claire taking her father’s last name as Victoria’s other children have after their dads/Victoria’s other ex-husbands? Also, why isn’t anyone asking Claire to take another DNA test to make damn sure she’s a Newman? Claire has been reintroduced to the Newman family for about 10 minutes. Why the endless red carpet for this child of Victoria Newmans?
Abby Newman Without a Seat at the Newman Table
Where’s Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway)? She’s not in Paris visiting her mother Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson). She isn’t managing Society. Abby has Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) managing her restaurant. She’s not catching up with her son’s legal father Chance Chancellor (Connor Floyd) to let him know she plans to marry their sperm donor this fall & also plans to continue living inside the Chancellor Mansion. What is this woman doing & why doesn’t anyone care, including her father Victor Newman (Eric Braeden)?
Abby’s Newman History
Abby Newman was a “Young & the Restless Paternity Test Kid” for a period of time. She was initially raised as Ashley Abbott & Brad Carleton’s (Don Diamont) daughter. It was later revealed that Ashley got creative with Victor Newman’s sperm & Abby is Victor’s daughter & when she isn’t married she does go by Abby Newman.
Victor Newman is doing everything in his power to play musical chairs with all of the companies underneath the Newman Enterprises umbrella, including acquiring Chancellor Industries. Where is Abby Newman’s spot? Doesn’t she have seniority?
