Options for Chad: Theresa, Gabi, Lani, Belle, Chloe, Nicole but it will probably be "Val", we'll see if she's a Abby recast or not.
was "Val" the casting cast?

I think Brady is early 40's.

Chad/Belle definitely felt like groundwork to me for Abby leaving, but there's also the Shawn/Chloe/Belle/Philip situation on the horizon. It seemed like they were doing a little testing of Theresa/Philip as well the other week (and I liked it). Given that Brady has history now with both Theresa and Chloe, I wouldn't be surprised to see all of these older-than-teen-scene characters more or less in one big dating group. The odd ones out here seem to be JJ and Gabi.
They've still got Paul in that group (and 19year old Joey?). At the risk of sounding like a Sonny stan, I feel like the most obvious answer is to recast him. He's already got ties to everyone in that group and there are simple ways for him to return.

(Also, both Stephanie and Chelsea would be early to mid thirties so if the show brought either one back they'd still be lacking in a 20s group.)
Chelsea and Stephanie wouldn't need to be early thirties if they re-aged them a bit. In real time, Stephanie will be 26 in February and Chelsea would be 28 if they kept the timeline they had when RM was there.

They de-SORASed Abby a bit when KM took over, so it's not that uncommon.

I feel like all these groups are merging together. Ok so let's see

Teens - Joey, Chase, Theo, Ciara and Claire

Early 20's - JJ, Gabby, Paul (Sonny & Will)

Mid-Late 20's - Chad, Abby, Theresa, Melanie

Early-Mid 30's - Shawn, Belle, Philip, Chloe

Late 30's/Early 40's - Brady, Nicole, Eric, Sami, -- this confuses me cause Brady is not supposed to be the same age as Sami & Eric!!!

Neither was EJ. ;)
True !!! EJ shouldn't be Sami's age. I always said it would've been better if Chad was Elvis Jr. And for James Scott to be a different DiMera.

Let me ask the the Chabby fans out there , could you handle KM leaving better if you knew Chabby would continue? Maybe not right away but a couple months down the line maybe around November sweeps?
I want Chabby to continue. I'm not sure how I feel about a recast yet. I'm hoping KM is open to returning and might rethink her decision several months down the road.
I don't see why she couldn't have stayed as recurring basis if she didn't want to sign a contract, especially with Days filming so far ahead.
I think Freddie Smith was open to do that but the TPTB seem to like having their actors locked in a contract (short-term if they can't have them long-term). Recurring actors can refuse to show up and film their scenes, they can sign on another show that won't let them appear on Days, so there's more uncertainty, the writers might be forced to axe their storyline and write a quick exit.

I hope not they recast Abby, I've never liked the character and find her completely uninteresting, which is a shame because she is, after all, Jack's daughter and I liked Jack. What I do think is tricky is that they have written a lot for "Chabby" = they are the couple with root for writing so Chad is painted into a corner. Can he move on with a new woman in a credible way? Many will probably wonder if he can really let go of Abby ?. And quite frankly, why so heavy writing for Chabby with hindsight, now that Abby soon is gone. I mean that the producer and the writers must have had an inkling that Kate would only stay for another year. Maybe they will recast anyway? Just some thoughts :)

Not months years!! I feel like she may want to try different things, make some movies, do some primetime tv shows and perhaps later down the road she could be open to returning. I'll miss Kate and Chabby but I'm happy for her and she deserves to see what else is out there and shine a little more. Gain some more experiences, play different roles...etc
Who knows how well she'll do though. Very few make it big and like someone already pointed out, others like CB and MB have returned. Maybe she wanted a break too. She's had some issues with her health during the past year.

"Although Mansi has finished taping, look for her to remain on air through at least May."

At least? What does that mean?
They taped a lot of June before the break, so depending on when she left, she might last air in May or June.
I'm just going to put it out there I hope the casting call they had a few month back was for a Abby recast. I don't think I should have to lose Chabby because Kate wants to move on, afterall as much as I like KM IMO Billy is the strongest link in that pairing.
I'm going to hold onto the fact that there will be an Abby recast. Didn't Billy tweet about the brainwashing not lasting too long and used the hashtag #chabbyisforever??? Sounds to me like they will continue on with a recast or why else would he feel the need to add that???

Days doesn't generally want it stars doing other projects. I think it's okay temporarily (like when JL filmed a movie) but they want a total commitment.

I don't think BF has chemistry with everybody.

I thought it was pretty much confirmed that MB's Melanie was just a short visit.

As for other twenty somethings, it is really hard to think of characters who could fill the void that's been created. Many (myself included) have tossed out Stephanie and Chelsea, but as for other possibilities...???

Even though I'm not a Theresa fan, I think they made a mistake not portraying her as more of a twenty something, like she should be in real time. Sticking her with EM's forty something Brady was a mistake on many levels, IMO.
Thank god Melanie's return will be brief! I can't with her. And yes with Theresa -- when she first came on the show, she was portrayed more in the younger group, with JJ and crew -- and she read as being younger. I kind of wish they'd kept her in that sphere, as well.

But... Maybe the casting call that everyone thought was for Abby could be a recast? Like Stephanie or Chelsea? Or it could be someone new. It does have the ring of someone who will probably end up in Chad's orbit, and I do think they're going to be looking to fill the Abby void.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what comes from the casting call. It's possible that they put out the call to see if they could find a recast Abby, and then wrote two exits: one if they did and one if they didn't. They may have just been testing the waters, so to speak.

The presence of MA/Jack there right as KM was wrapping up makes me think there might not be an immediate recast.... I could see them bringing Jack back to usher off KM and Abby in some dramatic fashion, though.

I'm still kind of hoping the casting call was for a recast Stephanie, though, as you mentioned. They're clearly investing in that branch of the Johnson family, and they've never really had much time on canvas as a complete family.

Pilot season is coming up, if she doesn't get a series she could be back next Fall.

Chelsea and Steph would both be 28!! I remember Billie specifically saying Chelsea was 19 in 2007 after Chelsea learned Billie had slept with Nick. Plus Chelsea and Steph were in college together so I assume they are the same age.

Given the stories and pairings they've both had (Stephanie in particular) that may be a bit jarring. It'd be like when they tried to put Melanie with the early-mid twenties crowd after she'd been with the early 30s crowd - she constantly felt out of place. (Theresa is another who felt too old for that crowd.)

Oh, as for JMB as a recast Abby, NO. She's a little too old but more importantly too harsh for the character of Abby. I like the soft, gentle side Kate brings to the character and would like that to remain if they recast.

Well Martha Madison was also 7 years older than Kirsten Storms and that still bothers me sometimes. Eric Martsolf is 10 yrs older than Kyle Lowder's Brady. Drake was 8 years younger than Wayne Northrop's Roman so they clearly don't have an issue with recasting w/someone much older or younger.

I love JMB but I agree. I think she'd make a better Stephanie than Abigail.

No to JMB. Kim Matula could work, though. BF has chemistry with a lot of co-stars, so I'm not that worried. I just hope we don't get a female GW. Hopefully, TPTB learned their lesson with horrible recasts- GW, CR, JPL, KB, etc.

True! But I feel JMB would work better as Stephanie just because of the fiesty vibe both Shelley Henning and JMB emit.

As far as those bad recasts I still think JPL is way better than KB!! KB was by the worst Philip.
