The Young and the Restless star Melissa Ordway (Abby) shocked her co-stars when she recently made a major change.

Melissa has been off-screen as Abby and Devon (Bryton James) plan their wedding off-screen.

The actress took the downtime to make a personal change to her appearance, and she looks amazing.

Taking to Instagram, Melissa shared a video revealing she had chopped off her long hair.

Melissa traded in her long locks for a shorter style that included a lighter shade of blonde, too.

“Sometimes you just need to change it up a bit ✨🪄Thank you for always making my hair dreams come true @christinepasqualone 💛,” read the caption on her IG post.

It didn’t take long for the comments section of Melissa’s post to be flooded with familiar faces gushing over her change.

“Did you?????? That’s sooooo gorgeous !!! I’m so jealous !! You look so so beautiful,” wrote Amelia Heinle (Victoria).

Zuleyka Silver (Audra) replied, “Looks so good!!,” while Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) gushed, “SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

Bryton, Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren), Lauralee Bell (Christine), and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe) all used emojis to show how much they liked Melissa’s new do.

Y&R viewers won’t see Melissa’s new do on-screen for a few weeks, likely during November sweeps.

What’s next for Abby on Y&R?

Speaking of November sweeps, The Young and the Restless will not only amp up the who killed Heather (Vail Bloom) story, but Abby and Devon’s wedding will take place.

The wedding seems to coincide with the 13,000th episode of Y&R. Ironically, the 12,000th episode of the hit CBS soap was marked with Abby and Chance’s (then Justin Gaston) wedding.

We should learn more about the wedding this week. Y&R spoilers tease that Victor (Eric Braeden) comes to Abby’s rescue, and the rumor mill is buzzing that it has something to do with the wedding.

Be sure to tune in to find out!

Well, her castmates aren’t going to be unkind, so .. it’s NOT a good look on her .. and neither was her long ‘locks’ her face needs framed by bangs and a more textured cut.
