‘The Young and the Restless’: Fans Tired of Abby and Devon’s Storyline
The Young and the Restless‘ Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) is a legacy character. As the daughter of Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson), she receives a lot of screentime. Currently, Abby is front and center in a storyline with Devon Hamilton (Bryton James), and it’s too much for fans.
‘The Young and the Restless’ fans want Abby Newman and Devon Hamilton’s storyline to end
Abby and Devon are best friends on The Young and the Restless, but recently their bond’s been tested because of Dominic Chancellor (Rainn and River Ware). Devon donated his sperm when Abby and Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) wanted a baby. Devon agreed to the initial custody arrangement with Abby and Chance raising Dominic.
But Devon changed his mind and asked for shared custody to be an active part of Dominic’s life. Abby’s life was thrown for a loop by his request, and she contemplated what to do. Aside from the custody dispute, Abby also had a scare when Dominic became ill and needed a bone marrow transplant.
The constant fixation on Abby, Devon, and Dominic is outraging fans on Twitter. “For heaven’s sake, we will be stuck with that boring story until 2023. Enough already, it’s not the Abby show,” wrote one viewer. “Ugh, wake me when Abby gets her own story and love life. I am bored to death with her being a bit player in Devon’s story,” another commenter chimed in.
Dominic Chancellor’s illness provided little drama
In recent months, The Young and the Restless piled on the drama with Abby and Devon. The parents have been put through the wringer between the custody dispute and Dominic’s illness. Many fans believed Dominic’s condition would provide more drama and reveal that Devon wasn’t the baby’s father. However, no paternity switch came, although fans are still hopeful.
Devon was a 100% match and donated bone marrow for Dominic. The procedure was a success, with Dominic’s recovery going smoothly. Dominic’s illness storyline was wrapped up as quickly as it began leading fans to wonder what was the point.
What’s next in the storyline?
The Young and the Restless fans hope this is the end of Abby and Devon’s storyline. However, odds are it’s the beginning of more airtime for the two. So what’s next for them?
Since the writers aren’t following through with the paternity switch, fans believe Devon’s quest for custody will continue. He already has shared custody, but it’s obvious he doesn’t want to be away from his son. Speculation is that Devon will seek full custody, thus adding more stress to Abby’s life.
Meanwhile, Abby’s marriage to Chance is still on rocky ground. Despite Chance’s vow to go to therapy for his PTSD, many fans believe it won’t repair his marriage. With Abby and Chance’s relationship in trouble, she may seek comfort from Devon, thus creating the long-awaited Abby and Devon pairing.
