Kate Mansi Leaving Days

Ugh! I'm still so bummed about this and the not knowing what they're going to do is really weighing heavily on me. I love this Chabby and especially BF and I love that he is so dedicated to Chabby. I feel like they've invested so much into this coupling and their story that it would be crazy to just drop it in 5-6 months. I'm hoping for a recast, but not right away. I just can't imagine Chad with anyone else on the canvas, it HAS to be Abby! I'm hoping that we get that wedding and they both go to Ireland for some family time away from Salem and when they return, it's with a new Abby. I know we all have our wish lists but this one is mine :wub2: .

I never once got the impression that JL is jealous of KM. But, I do think she really wants to be BF's leading lady and sees the popularity he brings along with him. With KM leaving, she might get a shot.


And before you guys come at me again, I'm not saying I want it or it should happen. I can just see the writers going there.
I don't think the writers are going there. Theresa is involved with a totally different part of the canvas that includes Brady , Philip, Nicole, Kate, Victor, Maggie, etc.
Yeah. Right now she is. It wouldn't happen anytime before KM leaves. And as long as Abby is around, I don't think they'd be hot to go for Chad/Theresa. They clearly don't even care about putting them in a single scene together at this point.

But, KM leaves and if they don't recast Abby, the who is the next ingenue on the show? :shrug: I'm just being realistic.

And I'm saying all of this as a massive AbbyFF and Chabby fan.

Abby has been in frontburner storylines since her affair with EJ. I grew to like KM, but the character always grated on me. How many more tragedies, love triangles, and major events in a character's life over the span of 3 years can they endure? I certainly don't want an immediate recast, but I also don't think they should kill her off either. Let her say she needs to get away from all the craziness in Salem after she inherits that land in Ireland, and bring Abby back in a couple years, either with KM or someone great in the role.

Theresa is no ingenue. I'm being realistic too. Theresa doesn't run in the same circles as Chad. Belle would be more likely than Theresa, though I would hate that too. Shawn, Philip, and and then Chad? No thank you.

They put out a casting call for someone, whether it was for Abby, Stephanie, or someone new, who knows. I'm sure the show realizes they need a heroine to fill the void.

I'm curious as to how long TPTB have known she wasn't going to resign. If they've known for awhile and decided not to recast, it's possible we'll see another young female character get more focus before Abby exits to lessen the immediate void. The problem is that Gabi, Lani, and I suppose Theresa are their main choices for that age bracket. I'd be okay with Gabi getting more focus, but the other two... :glare:

It'll also be interesting to see if KM gets backburnered at all or in the same way that some other impending exits have (SC, GV, GW, KDP (kind of), etc.).

I don't see them hooking up Chad & Teresa , more likely they would put him in Belle's orbit temporarily or cast
a new younger character perhaps a recast of Stephnaie .

As long as they don't bring Melanie back for Chad I am good lol

My guess is that KM won't be backburned. She's part of a popular pairing that this writing team clearly cares about and I think they'll want to milk it for all it's worth. Also MG's blind item said this was a huge blow to the writing team so they were clearly still featuring her IMO. Lastly, you potentially have MA involved with her exit story so I don't think it's going to be one of those cases where we barely see her for weeks and then she leaves.

I agree with you about the other young female characters.

Camila scored a beefy role in the pilot of John Singleton's "Snowfall":

http://deadline.com/2015/12/john-singletons-snowfall-pilot-fx-series-order-1201670934/
http://deadline.com/2015/09/john-singletons-fx-pilot-snowfall-adds-tim-matheson-camila-banus-1201551144/

If this gets series pick up by F/X which is highly likely, I can see CB dropping daytime for primetime because who wouldn't.

As for Kate Mansi leaving, good for her. I firmly believe young actors should never spend more than 4/5 years in a soap. The genre only allows you to grow so much as a performer. After a while, a character becomes predictable even when entertaining. As a viewer you might not mind because you grow accustomed to and in love with the ticks and quirks that make X or Y be who they are on TV. But to some performers it could be stifling and limiting. Anyways, my opinion.

Well, this sucks. I like her and her character. However, if this is what she wanted, then best wishes to her.

I get that feeling too. Too bad for her because her acting alone would ruin that pairing. She's already finished off Brady for me who was already on thin ice with me after Melanie.

This reminds me of the time that Ejole were getting so popular and I always felt AS wanted a piece of that pie and had to mess it up. Total speculation on my part but I just felt it. Because EJ&Sami were sworn enemies forever after what they did to each other and she had Lucas and Rafe but it wasn't good enough. Sami had to have EJ too. Have I said lately how glad I am Sami is gone?
But Sami and EJ were already established popular pairing before Nicole ever came into the picture.

Theresa and Chad would be awful... First I can't stand JL especially when she appeared to be particularly jealous of KM and her front burner status... No thank you
Ahhh, I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that JL did that. I believe it was on Afterbuzz that she was like whining saying, "I want to get kidnapped, I want a law degree, etc." I didn't like that either. Her real life persona seems similar to Theresa and it's very unattractive. I don't care for the actress or the character. I was laughing at her so called emotional scenes by Brady's bedside today. I wish they would send her packing!
I remember the first time she was on AfterBuzz, after they talked about the Chad/Abby/Ben triangle, she whined "I want a love triangle!" LOL.

Seriously though, both times she was on she had nice things to say about KM/Abby.
Yeah Jen Lilley is actually a sweet person and there's nothing wrong with wanting a triangle or wanting to be in a particular story or pairing. There's no way a Theresa and Chad pairing would work, but I never heard her say or imply any hint of jealousy towards KM at any time she was on Afterbuzz. In fact she always great things to say about her co-stars.

If by popular pairing you mean one half of the pairing is professing their love for anyone else but the other half of the pair.

It was basically the equivalent of saying Steve and Ava were a couple or Jan and Shawn or Xander and Nicole or Jennifer and Lawrence or Hope and Larry Welch.

Oh, okay. I only started watching B&B when Rick got control of Forrester and Caridge got together ( :wub2: ), I didn't see KM through much of her run. I should look on Youtube to see some of her scenes to see how she did in big scenes. BF was a nobody before he got Days, so maybe they will try their luck with a newbie to soaps for Abby. :) BF, though rocky in the beginning, has become one hell of an actor. :)
Caridge! :wub:

KM wasn't that bad but she was on all.the.damn.time! Everything revolved around Hope (and to a lesser extent, Liam) and the vets were only on to discuss her love life.

I don't think she would go to another soap, though. The only reason she left was because she wanted to try and do movies. She's still very close with her B&B costars, so I think if she were to come back to soaps, she would just come back be B&B.

Don't forget Stefano and Marlena :blulaugh:

Well yeah I agree! EJ and Sami were the equivalent of all those bad pairings. It was nauseating watching a charming, cultured, rich and extremely tall and handsome EJ grovel and beg for the love of lowly and simpleton Sami Brady when he could just snap his fingers and have someone 100x times better. I was just saying that EJami was already popular when EJole came into the picture. I liked EJ and Nicole but I always felt that he treated her like second choice, a placeholder for "Samantha".

So all I was saying was Sami didn't get in the way of EJ/Nicole. She was always EJ's first choice.

I wish KM all the best and I can understand that she is young and wants to try new things. But the grass doesn't always turn out to be greener. It is hard to get steady work as an actor. I think she will really be sorry she left a secure job where she had fans who appreciated her. Maybe after a few years on the actor's unemployment line, she'll she'll appreciate a good job when she finds one. In the meantime I hope we get a blonde recast. BF is the power in this couple and I believe they can find someone else we will like. After all, BF was a recast and we like him.

According to Camila she can do both -Days and Primetime (I think she meant the pilot). They managed to arrange it. She signed a contract with Days for a year so she won't be able to leave Days earlier unless the TPTB agree.
Btw, when did she start? It will be probably a year soon LOL.
EDIT. She probably started in March or April.

I agree. And all the backburned actors were let go, not chose not to renew which means the writing team simply had no interest in writing for them. This is a different case.

The first blind item was posted on September 21st. They typically approach actors 3 months prior to the contract expiration.

I'm sorry for the Chabby fans.

I hope they don't recast the character too soon. The Abby character needs to rest. Give it 6 months or so.


Let Chad move on for awhile.

I may not care for Chad, but I would never want him strapped to that twit Theresa.

I just hope we get a Chabby wedding and some happiness before the exit story begins. I think you can rest the character of Abby while keeping her at the forefront of Chad's story, while you have the character mention but not on seen, maybe someone become interest in Chad , but they know he is still in love with his wife and won't accept that she is dead, because they never found a body and the audience knows she is still alive, but she doesn't remember who she is. Then about four months after KM leave we see that the new Abby on the show but she doesn't know who she is, then we keep getting these near missing between her and her family member including Chad, they finally found out Abby is alive but she doesn't remember her family, and while all this is happening a female character has fallen for Chad and is secretly hoping Abby never get her memory back, but Chad is truly devoted to his wife and son, and the other woman become the interloper.
