Yes you are crazy and Marci can act just fine. She's better than smirky Massey and such

Marci can't act. The only difference between this return is she seems to be awake when trying to act.

For heaven's sake all 3 people you're talking about can all act.

Yes she can.   She was awesome during the Gwen/Xander non-wedding, and much more. The writing was the problem during her first run, she acted what was written.  The writers wrote her Abby without a backbone. She did great in the multiple personality story thou.

Agree, and just as good, if not better than Kate Mansi, whom I also love.

am I crazy? Marci Miller can't act. LOL She's about on Ben's level of lifeless cardboard. And I can't blame the material either, because LG and CB are stellar, imo. 

Yeah you might be crazy, since Marci Miller was one of the best actresses on the show period.  Rob Wilson(Ben) is also good at times. 

Count me in among those that like Marci. Chandler's main problem is that he's just very lazy.

 

Rob Wilson however... ooff. I thought he was decent when he played a psycho, but the emotional scenes fall flat, but that might also have to do with my aversion to Ben in general.

I agree. I think Marci is tremendous. Chandler is capable of much more than he regularly delivers, which is a damn shame. The problems with Ben, of course, go far beyond RSW.

this made me disregard your entire point. But I do agree that Kate Mansi was actually good, even tho I hated her Aby and don't really find the actress likeable. While on the flip-side I like MM's Abby, but don't think she can act at all. lol

I think MM can act.  She just tends to be a little boring and maybe miscast as Abby.  She doesn't necessarily command my attention with her stage presence, but I think she's a decent actress.

I said during Marci Miller's first stint that I could've seen her on a P & G soap, either Guiding Light as Hope Bauer or one of the Stewart sisters on As The World Turns in the 70's. Somehow, her mannerisms and how she plays things out remind me of an old school soap heroine for some reason. Not to mention the dreadful attire they would put her in half the time as Abby.

A little? You're too kind.

I mean, I find her dull as dirt, but objectively I don't think she's bad at acting lol.

I think Marci is a decent actress and she tried, but she just didn't embody Abigail to me.  At least she tried.  But she seemed (to me) to be playing someone other than Abigail.

SMH,  just because you are a Kate Mansi fan it sounds like.   The writing for Miller's Abby was off for her first run, but during her last 2 years or so in the role, the writers started writing Abby just like Mansi's IMHO, which made me like Mansi as good as Mansi, and Yes I was a Mansi fan. 

I thought Marci really sold the more assertive Abby. She’s a much “colder” actress than Kate Mansi, but I thought she had a wonderful mix of fire and ice. I’d love to see her in a well-written role, not the garbage she had to enliven as Abigail.
