Members ChitHappens Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 This is ridiculous! Abby's face was changed due to a fire, right? Time to give Chabby a happy ending and let him take her somewhere so that she can heal. I like Mansi in the role, but Marci is the better actress. Give the Abby character a rest! Billy Flynn is already overrated enough as it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 She was too good to get stuck doing Ron's umpteenth version of the Tess funny rapecapades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Mansi's Abby had a spark and fire that Marci's Abby lacks. Marci was better than people wanted to give her credit for, but a lot of times she looked asleep in the role. I'll take Mansi's "scenery chewing" anyday. Granted, Marci's Abby had awful writing a lot of the time and when given the opportunity, Marci had some fire in the role. I'm not sad over this. Could you imagine Marci's Abby in her underwear climbing on top of Patrick Muldoon or having sex with EJ in the shower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 This is disappointing because I enjoyed Marci. I felt she had a classic soap ingenue quality and I would’ve loved seeing her develop over the years. Kate Mansi always felt like a generic soap actor who couldn’t act but was pretty. I never liked her at all and am not shocked she’s had no succes since leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Crossing my fingers for Farah Fath to double role as Abby and Mimi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 What shocks me is the two year contract for a newbie. They used to stick it to them with much longer deals with lower wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Mansi makes short term return Miller wraps filming this month https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/days-casting-news-marci-miller-quits-kate-mansi-back/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 I am all for Kate Mansi returning. She really grew into the role after being ho-hum initially. Marci was ho-hum throughout. Marci did have that classic soap look of the 70's, with flat, unbleached hair. I'll give ya that. Her sleepy approach to acting does the soap no favors though, as half the show seems like perfect ambient noise for an afternoon nap. I hope Kate Mansi's return is extended, but she's probably destined for primetime, starring opposite a 50+ year old man in a subpar FOX comedy (Hi Kim Matula!) I'm also surprised they only locked Marci in for a 2 year deal. For some reason, the Abigail Deveraux role is always played by someone that takes at least two years to warm up to. They missed the boat utilizing Ashley Benson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Short term can be a year or less Billy (Chad) contract ended last month maybe he extended a bit and Mansi will be there for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 So if Miller is still filming, she'll be on until Thanksgiving (it seems like DAYS went back to 6 month lead). Is Billy leaving as well? Then it'd make sense to have Mansi back for his exit since they had the best scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 I prefer KM over MM but I never fully accepted KM in the role either. DAYS hasn't been able to cast the right actress for adult Abby IMO. Ashley Benson was good as teen Abby. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Meh. I always complained about how smug KM played Abby, so it's hard to be excited about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Thank Gawd! Miller can take all her alters with her too. I hated the DID story. And short term could be extended....look at Chandler Massey. He was suppose to only return short term too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 10, 2018 Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2018 Aw, damn. I love Marci. 😥 I think she’s gorgeous and talented. I don’t blame her leaving - I think she has a bright future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dio Posted May 10, 2018 Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 wasn't this all based on some throw away comment Camila Banus made that sent peeps into a tizy? I don't think we ever had any kind of confirmation on how long CM's return would be. not that I disagree w/ you on how Mansi will likely end up staying, because a steady job is a steady job.
