Here's Who Melissa Ordway Is Married To In Real Life

Justin Gaston, who was the original Ben Rogers (now Ben Weston), a character now played by Robert Scott Wilson on "Days of Our Lives," per Soaps In Depth, was the perfect choice for a new Chance when Abby married the man of her dreams in November of 2020. After all, he had been married to Melissa Ordway since 2012, so he seemed like the perfect choice to marry her Abby in "The Young and the Restless'" story. However, that didn't mean Gaston and Ordway didn't have a few reservations about him taking the part.

"I was really, really excited to work with Melissa," Gaston told TV Insider of his feelings about the temporary role. "At first, we were like, "Is this going to be weird?" But it wasn't at all. I've known everyone in the cast for a while. I was happy to step in."

Ordway loved working opposite her own husband. "At first, we didn't know what to expect," Ordway said to TV Insider. "But this was the most fun two weeks I'd ever had at work. Justin and Melissa don't speak to each other nearly as eloquently as the writers write for us!"

Boaz eventually returned to the role briefly, but then left the show, only for Conner Floyd to play Chance when Abby and Chance became parents, something Gaston and Ordway know a thing or two about in real life, per Soap Opera Digest.
