Standing On Ceremony: In 2020, when Y&R was still social-distancing on set due to Covid, Gaston stepped into the role of Chance when the character married Abby, played by Gaston’s real-life wife, so they were able to safely kiss for the cameras. “Now we have a second wedding video,” he chuckles.
Play Things: After they first met, Gaston says he found Ordway’s collection of American Girl dolls creepy. “She still buys them and says they’re for the girls, but I know they’re really for her.”
