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 know you don't care for Abby (or Chad), so I really appreciate you being nice about this. :) It sucks when your favorite leaves.

Disappointed about this as I am now invested in her storyline, but I wish her all the success in future projects. I also hope they recast. Not right away but I do want them to keep Abigail around.

I'm a bit surprised that none of the other big soap blogs (MF, Daytime Confidential, etc.) have picked up this news yet. Michael/Serial Scoop proved themselves to be a reliable source last summer with their casting scoops....

DC did it half an hour ago.

They better not kill off Abby 😡. We don't need anymore death on this show. We've already lost legacy characters like Will and Bo. Though it would be great material for Missy Reeves to play, don't want to see Jennifer lose a child.

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 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.
Not really....Ej came on the scene in the spring of 2006, Sami was the established popular character and her established popular pairing at the time was with Lucas...Nicole came in 2008, there was no rootable writing for Ejami until probably sometime in 2008, for a little bit then they got shit writing until 2013, when they were quickly paired after Sami got pissed at Rafe for standing up for his sister as the Nabi wedding reveal...

There was rootable writing for ejami well before 2008. Not that a couple has to be getting consistently favorable writing to become popular. AS knew they had lots of fans way before anyone even thought about bringing AZ back.

If they do recast I don't mind if they replace her with Brittany Underwood. She is a pretty good actress. She also played the main character on Hollywood Heights which JG wrote for so it could be a possibility.

For whatever reason, BU always came off younger to me than KM even though they're the same age. I do think she's a decent actress, though. It seems like she's also on The Bay this season with MBE.

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.
Unless Abby is "dead",in a facilty for treatment for mental illness,or incapable of caring for her son for some other plausible reason,Thomas needs to leave with her.To do otherwise would make her appear to be a horrible mother.I loved Abby until the writers had her cheat on Ben with Chad. I will miss seeing KM as Abby but I wish her all the best in her career and believe she can do well outside of daytime.
I am not against a recast.I just hope the new person can act.If you don't mind answering,I just wondered why a blonde recast.I wish they had allowed KM to keep her natural hair color when she arrived in Salem as Abby.

I've never seen BU in anything but I've seen other people from that show, namely Hunter King, and I am not a fan.

I wish Kate Mansi all the best with her career. I've enjoyed her being Abby and will miss her version after her final episode airs.

I didn't like Hunter King on Hollywood Heights either but I actually enjoyed BU's character on HH.

Wasn't BU in Merry Kissmas? If that was her, then no!

ETA: Just checked IMDB- she was in that movie. I hope they find someone who is a good actress for Abby.

This is hard for sure, but I thought 2015 was a great year for Chabby.

Yes it was , they became a family and hopefully tomorrow is the beginning of them making it official. I really hope we get a Chabby wedding before KM 's exit from the show.

I'm just crushed that Kate is leaving. She and Billy are just amazing together and have me working my whole day around the next moment for Chabby (also have always loved Marlena and John and Jenn and Jack). I really hope they recast or at the very least keep Abi alive. I will never truly accept Chad with anyone else. He and Abigail are soul mates.

I am just going to enjoy every second we have left and can't wait to see Chad tomorrow. In line with my approach, does anyone know where I might find compilation vids of Chad and Abigail from 2014 when Chad first came back and/or 2016 episodes from the last two days? :shrug:

How was 2015 a bad year for Chabby? They were given better writing, prominent A storyline ( from June on), and some major Emmy bait for both KM and BF. Some pairings got worse treatment. :-/ :ermm:

I have been a loyal viewer since 1993, but I remember Mansi had debuted when I was taking a brief hiatus from the show. When I came back to watching, I posted on here that I hateddddd her in the role.

Times have changed! Now, I think she's amazing and I am so bummed about this news. She's really become a leading lady of DAYS, and it's going to leave a huge void. I hope she returns and gets an Emmy nod this year. The last two years of Abby have been great!
