Instead of being Lisa Grimaldi from ATWT owning every restaurant and hotel in town. Abby should be embroiled with all of the drama at Newman with Victoria, Adam, and Victor. Perhaps the latter installs Abby to take over Victoria's pride and Joy Brash and Sassy. At first, Victoria doesn't take her baby sister seriously when it comes to running her cosmetics division. However, it becomes more of a success than those last years Victoria was running it with Billy and The Walking Stick. It causes jealous and hostility from Victoria who tries sabotage her but Abby discovers what she is doing and their rivalry begins again. Have Adam get involved in the story too by helping out Abby to spite Victoria. And the two youngest Newman offspring form a unlikely bond.
Instead we get Abby becoming a mother via Devon and Mariah without her husband. ๐๐๐
