I don't miss KM at all. I'm of the unpopular opinion that KM wasn't really a good actress until her last year on the show. But while I like MM, she's very subdued.

I agree. He was robbed of a nomination last year.
Was Billy Flynn nominated that year? Because yeah RSW totally deserved the nomination. It was honestly his and Kate Mansi's show. He deserved an award as much as she did for his contributions to that material.
I don't think it's fair to discount BFs role in that story. He and Kate sold Chabby as the tormented couple that should be together. Had it not been for that element, Ben going crazy would have never happened and the neck tie killer story would have never happened. All 3 played their part to the hilt in that story. I agree Rob was "robbed" for his nomination but it wasn't just the Ben and Abby show.

Agreed. KM always felt too harsh to be Abby to me. I liked her in the last few months or so but I never saw her as "Abby." She would have been fine as a character with a different name but I much prefer MM's subtlety.

Besides the chemistry factor, this is my main problem with Marci. I don't think subdued really works in the soap genre -- especially a soap written by Ron C.

I think MMs scenes with RSW showed she can break out of that mold given the right screen partner and writing.

Who was discounting BF's role? BF's acting was better during the Fall of '15. BF still cared about his performances then. I don't know what happened to him. Anyway, saying that Rob was robbed of a nom for Supporting Actor doesn't mean anything negative towards BF who got a nom for lead. :shrug:
Ben was the serial killer that was the main storyline for the show. It affected everyone on canvas, not just Chabby.

I'm going to be right by your side. 💕

While I adore KM's Abby, there's something I love about MM's Abby more. I've always loved every single version of Abby!
My main issue though with Chabby these days (even if I love them so much) is Billy Flynn. Either he has a stuttering problem or is simply lazy and not connecting. There's something missing and it annoys me so much.

Perhaps. I wasn't impressed with those scenes, but to each their own.

The other problem with that assessment is that the writing for her isn't likely change as long as they keep Ron and Sheri, and I'm not convinced they'll ever give her another substantial screen partner who isn't Chad for any extended/permanent period of time.

My point is it was a collaborative effort by an ensemble. All the small pieces worked together to form one big piece. I think both RSW and BF should have been nominated in supporting and I think RSE should have won. That being said, just because ones performance is more grandiose than another doesn't make it better or worse. I've never understood how they decide who wins these acting awards because I've never seen any logic to it at all.

I don’t like MM in the role, but it has little to do with KM. I do think MM’s shortcomings have retrospectively highlighted what KM was good at, but ultimately I just think MM is a terrible actor. I don’t really get why they decided her style would work for an already established character, and I don’t understand why they decided to completely change the character. Some of that is writing and some is acting. It just seems like they went to a lot of trouble to have a human being with the name Abby present.

Neither of the them were nominated that year anyway.

Like others have posted earlier in the thread, I think BF and MM being close irl affects their on-screen performances. Someone posted how their scenes come across as just them the actors and not Chad and Abby, I tend to agree with that assessment. I don't think BF and KM were all that close in real life. So maybe that's why they were able to generate more romantic chemistry. Idk. They didn't hate each other and I don't think KM ignored BF in favor of RSW either.

* Actors don't have to be close in real life to do their jobs. Acting is like any other job where there are coworkers you are close to and others who you just work with.

I think she was briefly better, but better than her normal paper weight status isn’t saying much.

Even though I referenced Fall of '15, I know that the nominations were for Spring/Summer that BF/KM were nominated for ( Abby's mental break/Ben's return/Abby's death). :)

I enjoyed Chabby with KM's version of Abby...they had way more chemistry than MM's version with BF does. IDK, there is just something really missing.
What's missing is romantic and sexual chemistry. The show has now given the actors light and playful scenes, drama and a lot more... yet, they never seem to click. Honestly, especially during the light and fluffy scenes, it seems more like MM and BF just goofing around as themselves than their characters. Also, like someone mentioned upthread, they are actually really boring when it's just the two of them - so I think the show might constantly need to throw interlopers at them to keep things somewhat interesting.

Personally, I think the younger couples need to be shaken up and new love interests brought on - every.single.last.one.of.them.
I want to see Chad with Chloe....i think both can be hot together!

I think MM does better in confrontational/emotional scenes than she does with happy/giggly stuff.
