Kate Mansi will be seen onscreen as Abigail on November 29th 

 

 

I never thought I'd look forward to her return. I liked MM initially. Days eats actors for breakfast.

I love MM. Not looking forward to scenery chewer Mansi's return

i never liked KM, but the recast made me miss her. LOL 

I'm absolutely dreading Kate Mansi's return. She's not Abby to me. I'm savouring every moment with current Abby. This is really going to **** me off.

OMG someone who feels the same way I do. Mansi is overrated and Marci Miller has made me love Abigail

Ew. I feel the total opposite. LOL. But I don't hate Miller. She just needed more life and energy to her. Blah. I'll take scenery chewer anyday after watching paint dry for two years. (LOL, but seriously, I saw some potential in Marci Miller but Mansi was my preference. I can see why you liked her as Abby though)

I felt like she was understated rather than lifeless. She's been my favourite character over the last year or so and it's gonna hit me hard watching this new person come in, especially as she looks hispanic and doesn't seem like she could be Jennifer's daughter/JJ's sister.

Understandable. But she had great chemistry with them. I'm very excited. I'm sorry for those who preferred Miller, but hey, at least she chose to leave on her own and I don't think Mansi's sticking around, but I still don't know how long she's here for. I will say Miller looked more like Missy and Matt's daughter. I just wasn't thrilled with her acting choices sometimes and the writing for Abby. After Mansi, Miller felt miscast to me. But if I didn't know Mansi in the role, I probably would feel slightly different. I like both for different reasons but I vastly prefer Mansi. And to be fair, actors usually start to gel and improve in the role as they're about to leave. I was actually starting to get really used to her when we heard she was leaving so I imagine after a few years ... but so many associate and prefer Mansi in the role.

 

They're just very different actresses.

It's probably good that it's an actress who used to play her. I thought it was a permanent return. I'll carry on watching anyway.

Yeah, I looked at it as a nice gesture to get Kate back, especially with Matt coming back as Jack. But I can see why many preferred Miller. I don't think it's permanent. I wish it were. But I also think maybe it's time for a break from Chad and Abby. Not an 8 year break (hyperbole; I think it was more like 7 ...) like Shawn and Belle, but a break isn't the worst thing. I think more characters should exit every so often for a year or so and get refreshed.

Marci Miller taking over from Kate Mansi is like watching Hayley Sparks subbing for Beth Ehlers as Harley on GL (for the few who understand the reference). It's like, yeah she looks like the predecessor and can act, but just so BLAH. 

 

(Or, in keeping with DAYS, it's like when Stephanie Cameron took over as Jennifer when Melissa Reeves abruptly left).

We're almost always on the same wavelength. LOL

 

+1

I will be watching again to see Mansi. Marci Miller with her completely lifeless performance and the awful story with Stefan drove me away from the show. It’ll be interesting to jump back in.

i hated KM's Abigail for a long time, mainly because of all the EJ/Sami mess, but when she started going nutty I found the character way more interesting. Especially after she tied Ben to the bed and set it on fire.  

 

and then MM came on the scene and it was like... no. LOL
