The old theory was that if you were young (and, even old) was to do a soap for two or three years and get out. Some actors like the soap lifestyle and others want more money and bigger exposure with prime time and movie roles. Of course, not everyone lands the big gig like Justin Hartley did but you gotta give it a shot while you are young. 3 Link to comment

She is in her 20's...Justin was very lucky because he went from daytime to primetime, right back to daytime and back to Primetime and scored a hit show.. 4 Link to comment

boes May 9, 2018 Share May 9, 2018 7 hours ago, DisneyBoy said: Oh fuck. Ron NO. NO RON! No. Damnit with this show. And now if Kate comes back to play the character again, she gets to skate past all of the mental health breakdowns she's had and just coast right into her being a "nice" character again? Uuuuuuuuugh! Marci, regardless of her failure to create three distinct interesting personalities, definitely had the more challenging material. If Kate comes back to play the healthy Abigail, that just means she gets to jump right back to doing what she was doing on the show for years - offering that condescending smile. The only time I ever wanted to see Kate Mansi acting on a TV screen again was when people were crapping on how unwell and shitty Abigail was the last few months. She can only come back if Gabi and Chad and everyone else in town treat her like a nut bar head case. No, nevermind. There are no good circumstances for her to return. Mansi back? Nope. Nada. Non. Nah. Whatever language, NO. She has all the charisma of a demented bunny and even less talent. And that Valley gurl voice........ I guess she found out that she wasn't the hottest thing since peritonitis. But let her pursue "career opportunities" elsewhere, say, a potato stand on the Malibu Pier. If Mansi returns while Farrah Fath is around, the Days set will sink into the La Brea tar pits, weighed down by the sheer lunacy of it all. Show can NOT handle two of them at the same time, and I can't either. 10 Link to comment

I hope just it's not an exit than having KM quickly take her place or some other actress like Bree Wils ????? I'm sorry I'm just whirlwind by this. Damn Days don't recast!

BlackMamba May 9, 2018 Share May 9, 2018 (edited) Ok so this just came in KM is returning but only to close out the stint. So Abigail might be getting sent away in drool. I don't know what this means for BF, wouldn't surprise me if the show doesn't try and write around Chad (and I like him but BFs ego can be a bit much) he might go too. Not sure though. I did read somewhere BF and KM dont like each other that much. **UPDATE** Word is he hasn't renewed his contract yet. Rumors are he might follow Marci out too and Casey Deadrick might reprise the role. I will say if CD returns as Chad, I hope he has grown'd up his acting. Billy makes Chad into a man. Yet if Casey does return as Chad I can see him more with Gabi or Mimi then many of would with Billy. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/days-casting-news-marci-miller-quits-kate-mansi-back/ Edited May 9, 2018 by BlackMamba 6 Link to comment

nilyank May 9, 2018 Share May 9, 2018 (edited) Unless they are planning another big story with Abby that has wrapped up when Marci leaves, they should either have an complete breakdown to ship her off the show or if Billy leaves have them leave the show together. Whether it is Kate or Marci as Abby, I am still annoyed that Sami was never to return the slap Abby gave her after it was revealed that she slept with EJ.

BuckeyeLou May 9, 2018 Share May 9, 2018 Color me disappointed...I did not care for Kate Mansi's acting style nor for the character of Abigail. But, Marci Miller slowly changed my opinion, she brought a vulnerability to the character of Abigail and made acting choices that actually made me feel emotions for Abigail. Marci did not have the usual 'blonde soap actress" look, she embraces her bohemian style. I wish her luck in future endeavors, and cant say I am looking forward to Mansi's return. 10 Link to comment

AHHHHHHHHHH https://daytimeconfidential.com/2018/05/09/rumor-report-is-kate-mansi-returning-to-days-of-our-lives Quote On the heels of news that Marci Miller is leaving Days, Soaps.com has learned that Kate Mansi will be returning to the NBC soap opera to reprise the role of Abigail Deveraux DiMera, one she played from 2011 to 2016. The actress won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 2017 after Mansi made the decision to leave Days in June 2016. Soap Digest is reporting that Mansi will return this summer on a short-term basis. Stay tuned for her first return date. http://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/comings-and-goings/1981/kate-mansi-returns-to-days-of-our-lives-as-abigail-dimera?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_content=1521510506 4 Link to comment

Bwill3133 May 10, 2018 Share May 10, 2018 Well this a turn of events. Hopefully it stays a short term for KM. This would be a good time to focus on the over 30 set. But Chloe is the only one in that group on contract. It’d be nice for Belle, Shawn,Philip to return full time. We will see what happens. 2 Link to comment
DisneyBoy May 10, 2018 Share May 10, 2018 (edited) Man this is weird...did Marci storm out unexpectedly or did they just assume she would stay and didn't leave themselves an "out", necessitating another actress stepping in? I'm guessing they might be trying to save face..."Marci don't wanna stay? She don't care about our plans for the characters? Fine - Kate can do it and we'll give her a really happy ending." But still, this is all weird. Haven't heard of frantic recasting like this since the 90s. Quote She should either have a complete breakdown to ship her off the show or if Billy leaves have them leave the show together. Agreed. I want the former, but since they already did that, I'm guessing it'll be the latter and we'll lose Billy too. Bummer there. I want to see him given other material. He's been all about Abby now for years. What the hell did Chad ever see in her? I can't remember... Edited May 10, 2018 by DisneyBoy 5 Link to comment

Exactly! both Kate and Victor were both deprived of raising their children. There is no way that they would allow their grandchild to be raised by strangers. It would have made sense for Bonnie to track down Tyler and use him to get her hands on the Kiriakis money. Tyler is also her grandson via her daughter Mimi... As usual, Ron ignores pertinent history to push his agenda. 6 Link to comment
