Members psychofan Posted April 2, 2007 Members Share Posted April 2, 2007 So is this temporary Abby going to turn into nuAbby once Ashley leaves? I'm kind of confused with the whole situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Days4Life Posted April 2, 2007 Members Share Posted April 2, 2007 I don't think so. From what I've been hearing, there are no plans to recast Abby right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RionPassions Posted April 2, 2007 Members Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hiring Ashley Benson was one of the best things JER did during his run. I think Abby should be written off, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysForever Posted April 2, 2007 Members Share Posted April 2, 2007 How could a headwriter hire someone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted April 2, 2007 Members Share Posted April 2, 2007 You're right in wondering But HW's do not hire actors. They can recommend someone but its all in the hands of the casting director. Besides, if he could hire anyone to play Abby, he'd probably hire someone with all the talent of Charity Rahmer.

Members Josh Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 The fauxNuAbby looks cute!! I wouldn't mind her sticking around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billyjill Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 Emily Montague is filling in for Ashley Benson for two or three days. Ashley will be returning to finish her tenure and then after that there is no word on anyone playing Abby. My guess is she'll be written off, I don't know if temporarily or permanently.

Members jcar03 Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 If they just get rid of Abby they are once again just dropping another storyline. They need to at least attempt a recast whether it be Emily or someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 Abby just needs to leave, and yes the storyline needs to end without Ashley. Emily won't work. Have you been to other message boards today? Ashley Benson/MABBY fans are ripping Emily apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 Of course Ash;ey's fans are ripping her apart. I wouldn't expect otherwise as they are fans of Ashley and I am sure they are miffed at Days for not accomodating her. Emily has potential. She is a bit more mature and looks a bit older but I saw good potential there. Martha looked odler too when she first came on as Belle and look at what happened there. The way Emily was today reminded me of how Martha stepped into the role of Belle. She has energy in her scenes. I thought she fit Abby well and was great with Matt Ashford. I am not quite sure of her chemistry with Darin since I have to see more but, again, I would give her a chance or at least recast the character because Days doesn't need any more re-writes after all the issues they have dealt with and are still dealing with. They have a story for MABY planned and they should go ahead and attempt a recast or just give Emily a try IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponz Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 Well..duh! However, the reaction to Emily from general fans has been fairly positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm so over "Mabby." They sat on pause for far too long, and now it's too little, too late. They're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm over Mabby too, and I was one of their first fans. I am also over Abby and Benson, who has turned Abby into a BRAT and a HALF. It's not the writing either. It's either her or the directing. The tone of her voice in her lines drives me up a wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 I actually loved...loved this nuTempAbby. I agree with King, Benson is good but she has just something that I no longer like about her and this was a breath of fresh air I thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billyjill Posted April 3, 2007 Members Share Posted April 3, 2007 I can see where the brat thing comes from with Benson, but I think this new chick is a vapid ditz which I find infinitely less preferable. I was never "under" Mabby and I really don't want an older recast just for the sake of that pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
