On Wednesday, November 13, The Young and the Restless will celebrate its 13,000th episode with a wedding for Abby Newman and Devon Hamilton. For their portrayers, Melissa Ordway and Bryton James, it’s been a long time coming.
“I was so excited,” recalls Ordway of discovering that their wedding would be a part of the milestone. “I wanted to marry Devon — I mean, the lines are a little blurred, Devon or Bryton — for the past 11 years, so I was so excited, and to have that be a part of the 13,000th episode was pretty cool.”
