According to Soap Opera Digest, which first reported the news, Mansi has already begun taping and will make her Port Charles debut during the week of May 22. Meanwhile, Ainsworth made her final appearance as Kristina in the Thursday, April 27 episode, which saw the character supporting her stepbrother, Michael (Chad Duell), at his wedding and her sister, Molly (Hayley Pullos), who was dealing with pregnancy issues.

At press time, there was no reason given for the recast, but, as we previously reported, Ainsworth is set to appear in the season finale of “NCIS.”

The last time the character was recast was in 2012 when Lindsey Morgan took over the role following Ainsworth’s departure. Morgan departed the series one year later while Ainsworth returned to the show in 2015.

In 2016, it was revealed that Kristina had been having an affair with her college professor (played by Ashley Jones).

Best known for her role as Abby Deveraux DiMera on “Days of our Lives,” Mansi won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2017 for her portrayal. She was nominated again in 2019 in the Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series category.

Mansi can currently be seen as Hunter Clarkman in the limited series “Casa Grande,” now streaming exclusively on Amazon Freevee. Click here for more information.

Why? So technically Mansi just had enough of Days and not soaps in general. I see, I see. Now I understand her a bit more. Been following her for years on Insta and now it all makes sense.

but I’m sad that we lose Aintsworth. She has grown right in front of us and was let to like 10 times and now gets recasted. Oh wow. That must hurt

    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
