Y&R’s Melissa Ordway (Abby) Tackles Our Random Questions
Have you experienced any crazy cravings during your pregnancy?
“I’ve been craving those sour worms [candy]. I’m not even into sour things, but I was at the candy bins in Whole Foods, scooping sour worms into a bag and my husband [Justin Gaston, ex-Ben, DAYS] just looked at me and said, ‘Who are you?’ ”
Who do you think is Abby’s celebrity crush?
“Someone rich and good-looking. I think Abby would really be into Ryan Gosling.”
Did anyone at Y&R guess that you were pregnant?
“When I was first pregnant, I hadn’t told anyone at Y&R yet, and I had these scenes with Eileen [Davidson, Ashley] and Marla [Adams, Dina] in a spa. We were laying there in our robes with cucumber slices on our eyes and I started crying uncontrollably. Eileen asked what was wrong and I said that I just found out that our new house wouldn’t be ready for another day and I couldn’t stop bawling. When I finally did tell her, she said, ‘I knew it!’ ”
What would Justin say is your most annoying habit?
“Eating in bed. I’ll do it when he’s not home and he’ll find popcorn or crumbs in bed and get so upset.”
What was your first on-screen kiss?
“I had a part on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER where I kissed this girl and Neil Patrick Harris. His character, Barney, was having this fantasy of having a threesome.”
You’re a FRIENDS fan. Are you more like Monica, Rachel or Phoebe?
“I’m a clean freak like Monica. In one episode, Chandler sneaks into Monica’s closet and he sees that it’s a complete mess because that’s where she throws everything. I have a closet just like that.”
