SoapHubSHOCKER: Marci Miller QUITS DAYS!!! Is Kate Mansi On Her Way Back??? It looks like there may be even more personalities in store for Abigail on Days of Our Lives–and possibly in the form of someone very familiar. Daytime Confidential reports that they have multiple sources confirming that Miller has left DAYS to pursue other interests, which means she’s looking for a primetime and film career. Kate Mansi, who won an Emmy for the role in 2017, left the soap in early 2016 for the same reason, has made a series of made-for-TV movies since. However, Mansi is still warmly remembered as Abigail and was the first actress to make the pair known as “Chabby” beloved. According to Daytime Confidential, sources say DAYS is already in talks with Mansi to reprise the role. If this comes to fruition, DAYS might do a seamless recast with Mansi one day taking over the role as if she’d never left. It was Mansi’s Abigail who first had her breakdown that led to her faking her death. When Abigail returned to town lurking around corners, Miller was playing Abby and made the role her own, earning a Daytime Emmy nomination this year. Miller also took Abby’s mental illness to new heights in a controversial DID story in which Abby killed brother-in-law Andre and split into three distinct personalities when she couldn’t handle the guilt. If Mansi does step back into the daytime role that made her famous, don’t expect to see her on screen for another six months due to the soap’s long lead time.

This could be very good news. Marci grew on me — a little — but she was pretty bland as Abby, and I think the producers knew it, which is why they gave her other personalities. Kate Mansi had a wider acting range. I'd love to see her back. Thanks sportsgirl! |

Sad to see Marci leave. I enjoyed her version of Abby despite the substandard material she was given.
I never bought Kate Mansi as Jen's daughter. She's a good actress but was not right as Abby. Marci was much better suited to it.

Just saw confirmed that Kate Mansi will be returning. I also preferred Marci as Jen's daughter. As time went on Marci got so much better, better than Kate ever was. The only thing Kate was better at was scenes with Ben.

I prefer Marci, mansi was an ok actress but really all she did for me was sex scenes and follow chad around and scream at him
If she comes back does that mean she never does anything to her hair again other than that greasy bun that she never brushed?
Ugh I’m not crazy about this at all
And I have to say I enjoyed the girl before mansi who played Abby as it was her and the old chad that made them a couple fav for me
By the time mansi and Flynn were on she was so all over the place with her character that I thought chad should run ( and I mean before the mental illness as I’m referring to her just using sex to get what she wants)

I'm glad that Kate Mansi is returning. I wonder if Abby and maybe Chad will leave town since it says short term return.

If Marci Miller finishes filming this month she will be onscreen until about Thanksgiving because of the ridiculous filming schedule.

I was never the biggest fan of Abigail, but I thought that Kate Mansi and Billie Flynn had great chemistry together, where Marci and Billie never really clicked for me. I'll be happy to see Kate come back.

Thanks for posting that wendylou. I didn't realize she's been on DAYS about 2 years. I wish her well, but in my opinion, she added nothing to the show. |
