If MM is cardboard, then Mansi was tissue paper. I actually haven't liked MM as much since they told her to give Abigail more attitude; it seems forced, IMO. Her original portrayal would have meant something if the dialog and stories weren't so bad.

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. 

Please don't make assumptions about who I am a fan of or not.  I prefer to speak for myself.

lmfao

Mansi's Abby was a shrew, she gnawed that scenery. 

I love recast wars 😂😂

I don't think either Mansi or Miller were that great so there lol.

I loved Mansi personally. Hated Marci her first run but have enjoyed her this time. She actually seemed awake this go around and they let Abby have the Salem Brain a lot more.

If I truly, truly had to pick one or the other it would be Mansi, but neither one blows me away.  Neither one is awful either.  They both have really different takes on the character and I think Mansi has better chemistry with Billy Flynn.  I think Marci Miller seems a little more like what I would envision Jack and Jen's daughter to be though.

I read this in Lynda Hirsch's summary in May and I still don't know what to make of it?  Was it a fantasy scene that I missed?  It is from her 5/21 column which was weeks before the actual murder.  While, she has a notoriously bad editor, she never retracted the column.

Well, that makes absolutely no sense. Abigail had no baby available to anyone. I begin to wonder if there were multiple false spoilers!

Well Abigail was pregnant at the time, but having Sarah kill Abby? That paints Sarah into a corner, and it's ridiculous. So of course RC would do such a thing.

We're going by Abigail's instinctual feeling that she & Chad had succeeded?

 

 

How many times has a pregnant character been killed on daytime? Meaning both the host and the fetus die. I can't seem to recall that combination. I'm sure it's happened - otherwise Ron might be calling this a groundbreaking storyline

Hilary on Y&R is a somewhat recent example.
