List of The Young and the Restless characters (2022)

Allie Nguyen, played by Kelsey Wang, made her first appearance on March 10, 2022. She was introduced as the previously unknown granddaughter of Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Prior to her first appearance, Allie was referred by the soap as being "a mysterious, young professional who catches the eye of one of Genoa City’s eligible bachelors", with Charlie Mason from ''Soaps She Knows'' speculating that she may be a love interest for Noah Newman (Rory Gibson). Mason also correctly speculated that Allie may be the daughter of Keemo Volien Abbott (Philip Moon), the estranged son of Jack. Mason also speculated that Allie and Noah would be the "New Kyle and Summer". Wang teased a romance for Allie and Noah and assured fans that Allie was not a scammer for the Abbott family. In November 2022, it was announced that Wang and Gibson had been dropped to recurring status, but continued to make appearances.

When Jack finds out that Keemo has died, he and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) travel to Keemo's old house for closure. Whilst there, Jack finds a photo of Keemo with Allie and her phone number and, not knowing who she is, arranges to meet with her, where it is revealed that she is his granddaughter. Allie is initially unsure of getting to know Jack, with Keemo having told her that he had never met his father, but after some persuasion from a woman calling herself "Taylor Jensen", she decides to meet up with him in a cafe, where she reveals that she wants to be a chemist. It is revealed that "Taylor" is actually Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters), the mother of Jack's son Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), who has been presumed dead for more than a decade. Allie is shocked at Diane abandoning her son.

Allie visits Jack in the Abbott Mansion in Genoa City and meets Jack's siblings and their children. She is welcomed by Jack's sisters Traci (Beth Maitland) and Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) and Ashley's daughter Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), who want to get to know her. Allie meets several other residents, including Abby's nephew Noah and his half-sister and Kyle's wife Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), who encourages Allie to accompany her to Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) and Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks)'s wedding. A romance develops between Allie and Noah. The couple then leave Genoa City, with Allie working in a Jabot lab in Paris but continuing to see Noah regularly. The couple return briefly in 2023 to support Summer when her mother, Phyllis, is presumed dead.

Candace Young from ''Soaps She Knows'' called Allie "ever-understanding and mature" and criticised the lack of development and drama that happened in Allie and Noah's relationship, also noting that fans were shocked with the fact that the two characters were sent overseas when already being underused. Charlie Mason and Richard Simms from the same website wrote that Allie had the "Strangest Monologue" of 2022 in American soap operas, commenting that "We actually felt kinda bad for Young & Restless newcomer Kelsey Wang when her Allie was stuck wandering around Keemo's empty house talking to her dead dad. Thankfully, she soon had a new talk-to in Taylor Diane… not to mention a beau in Noah." Chris Eades from ''Soaps In Depth'' said that whilst Allie was a new character, she's "also steeped in the show’s history". Provided by Wikipedia
