Matt Ashford was announced to return for five episodes,
to report for work during the week of Nov 30th.
He tweeted out a pic of him with Missy Reeves on set on Dec 11th.

From Jason47's tape to airdate estimated schedule:
Taping week of 11/30/15-12/4/15: (airing 5/17/16-5/26/16)
Taping week of 12/7/15-12/11/15: (airing 5/27/16-6/9/16)

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

I speculate that there's a connection there.
Yeah, I think RSW is back for some days in that time frame, too. So, I think we're looking at a break in the mental institution for Abby before a possible recast... and given the family history and given that she's gotten no help for what she's been through this year? I buy that as a real possibility for her. Could be interesting.
Maybe she kills Ben and gets sent to prison or a mental institution.

As much as I love Chabby and I don't want to see that connection severed I'm happy for Kate Mansi and I wish her all the success and opportunities she might get Primetime or films. As much as it's upsetting for fans I completely understand!! She's 27 and it's basically now or never. It's a shame cause even though she's been on the show for 5 years she's just now beginning to get recognition and compelling storylines.

It seems to be a trend with young and talented actors on DAYS, they're here for 3-5 years then they want to move on to other things;

Jensen Ackles (Eric Brady): 1997-2000
Kirsten Storms (Belle Black): 1999-2004
Rachel Melvin (Chelsea Brady): 2004-09
Shelley Henning (Stephanie Johnson): 2007-2011
Chandler Massey (Will Horton): 2010-2014
Ashley Benson (Abby Devereaux): 2004-2007
Kate Mansi (Abby Devereaux /Adult #2): 2011-2016

Notice that none of them stuck around for more than 5 years! They're all young and talented so of course it's normal for them to want to try different things!! And I hate to say this but I can see Billy Flynn wanting to go and try new things 1 or 2 years from now! Hope he sticks around for a long time but who knows??

Heck how many times did the 80's and 90's stars came, left then returned!? So who knows Kate might still return one day.

So can we safely assume that the casting call was for an Abby recast? Cause I find it hard to believe that she and the baby would just leave Salem without Chad.

Just to add, the trend goes back further than this. The majority leave in that time frame.

I think Abby goes into mental crisis and goes to the hospital. I don't think she kills Ben. Ben would be the one, haunting her.....I am not sure about this storyline though. I thought Abby was strong....

Having a mental illness has nothing to do with strength.

Abby has mental illness in her genetic history. People with mental illness are not necessarily weak for being ill, if anything they are starting out from a more difficult place. If they have Abby have a breakdown I would like them to bring up her grandmother's mental illness.

As much as I like BF as a actor I just don't see myself continuing to watching Days without Chabby in some form. Bottom line is Chabby is what got me watching this show daily. Unless another pairing comes along in the next 5 months that peeks my interest I will be back to reading spoilers about Days occasionally.

katemansi: I’ve kept quiet as long as I could, but since it seems news has leaked, I feel I owe it to you all to set the record straight. Alright… here it is:
After much thought, I’ve decided the timing was right for me to set sail from Salem. I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed every single beautiful and messy moment of being Abigail, and will always treasure our time together. I want to be very clear in saying that this was not a decision I took lightly. It was important for me to see Abigail through the most recent storyline, as well as through the show's historic 50th anniversary celebration. I can confidently say that I poured everything I had into Abigail, especially this last year, and cannot wait for you to see what's coming! I also want to express how very proud I am to have had the privilege of being a part of this incredibly hard-working daytime community for the past five years. I am grateful beyond measure to the DOOL family, which I feel extends beyond our set, to you, the amazing, and unwavering fans. I thank you for all the support and love you've shown Abigail and me.

Oh​,​ and one more thing... STA​Y TUNED!​​ I PROMISE you, you won't want to miss what's coming​!​

It sounds like Chad is going to be a single dad. I'm not liking this at all. 😢

According to behind-the-scenes sources, the soap did everything in their power to try to keep Mansi, but she was adamant that it was time to move on and test the waters -- now. Perhaps her predecessor in the role, Ashley Benson, was an inspiration. After leaving Days in 2007, she rose to stardom on Pretty Little Liars and has since segued into a film.

What does Mansi's exit mean for the show's popular Chad and Abigail coupling?

Viewers will get to see a few months of happiness for the long-tortured twosome, which means lots of romance, some love scenes and, perhaps, even a big wedding. Word is Chad will soon be proposing to the woman he loves, and it's impossible to imagine that she'll be responding anything but, "Yes!"

And, due to the show's accelerated taping schedule, Mansi will be on screen through the spring. So fans will get to enjoy "Chabby" until then.

According to Janet's article, the show tried everything it could to keep Kate but she is adamant about trying other things.

If this show wasn't already on the edge of cancellation, I would have guessed based on that statement that Corday offered her an open door when she left, kind of like Jensen Ackles. Which would mean that Abby doesn't die, but is not recasted.

However, since the show seems heavily invested in Chad/Abby, I see a recast coming at some point. Just my speculation.

What's wrong with Chad being a single father? :shrug: Abby will more than likely be going to a mental institution and I don't think it'll be wise for Abby to take Thomas with her. :-/

I agree there is nothing wrong with Chad being a single father, especially if Abby has to go somewhere like a mental institution. Everyone is assuming that is where she is going but there hasn't been any real evidence of that, so I think it's very possible her exit could be something else. :shrug:

I'm not a Chabby or Abby fan, but I don't understand why she's leaving when her popularity is at it's peak.

It would've been one thing if it was a year ago when she was barely on / had terrible story. But now? The show basically centered their 50th anniversary around her. That's bit of a slap in the face.
She said on her IG that she wanted to stay for the 50th anniversary and finish her current storyline out. That leads me to think she wanted to leave earlier but stayed for these 2 reasons. It does seem strange she'd want to leave when she's at her peak on the show and being turned into one of the show's leading heroines. But I get it, she's still young and wants to spread her wings. She wouldn't be the first soap actress to do it.

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.
That would basically be a gender reversal of Jasam/Liason on GH but it could work. I'd be with it.
