Hmm. I thought the original call said the role was contract. Now it says it's recurring with the possibility of going to contract? If that's accurate, and not something to throw people off, I can't imagine it's for Abby.

They also changed the age range from 25 to 24-28.
Maybe Abby will come back as a visit to start, if they're having trouble finding a recast they're confident in.

Kind of interesting that they are taking so long to cast this one. I've been under the impression in the past that soap casting is usually pretty quick.
I hope this is the case. If they had had Guy Wilson recurring, just to test him out, I doubt they would ever have kept him. He seems like a sweet person, but he was not in any way shape or form up to being Will. IMHO, anyway.

He definitely wasn't worth booting Chandler out the door in order to deliver wedding scenes with Nu Will regardless of CM's smirks or fed up attitude.

Two actresses I think that might make a good Abigail Deveraux re-cast.

(1) Jessica Ahlberg (Darby Collette, GH) http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3702975488/nm5255289?ref_=nm_phs_md_1

(2) Brittany Underwood (ex-Langston Wilde Cramer, ONE LIFE TO LIVE)

So glad about this news. Im assuming she will be recast, but I am hoping Abby will be off the show for quite awhile because I'm sick of her character and her bimbo ways. I'm hate how every salemite basically worships the ground she walks it. It will be a breath of fresh air if her character leaves the show. Kate Mansi is a beautiful girl and good actress so I wish her all the best :)

It might not only be about chemistry. In this casting call they say "very very strong actors".
Thats is true But I think whether or not the actress has chemistry with Billy will play a a big part too. I am sure Billy will fight for who he feels is right like Kate did for him.

I am still so torn on the recast idea. On one hand I feel Chabby needs to continue and they should find the right recast for Abby. On the other, Billy and Kate have created something so special that I don't know how it will be be with someone new as Abby. Sigh lol
I've been watching all the new Chabby mvids tonight and it's finally hit me hard that Chabby 2.0 is almost over. Man, it sucks. ITA, Billy and Kate have created something really, really special.

Despite my BF/KM love, I want an Abby recast and I still want Chabby + Thomas.

DAYS apparently saw over a 1,000 people for the Chad recast so I'm going to remain optimistic that they will work just as hard to get the right Abby recast. I think the show is pretty committed to Chabby and BF/Chad.

So yeah...I'm going to take this new casting tidbit as a good sign that they're not rushing into a bad recast and ruining any chance Chabby 3.0 might have.
I'm just so glad this is such an important casting for the powers that be. It gives me hope that Chabby 3.0 will be really good. Billy is invested and Days is invested so they will write for this. Knowing that helps because I am just not ready to say goodbye to Chabby...just love them too much.

People are allowed to not like Abby. I'm going to need some of y'all to get over that.

They could have fired him after his first 13-week cycle (or even earlier) if they had wanted.

It happened to Justin Gaston (Ben #1).

Brittany Underwood would be a good choice, but I think she is going to collage. Not sure.

Also, and I know some people are going to disagree with me on this, but what about...

I don't think she is a bad actress. I agree she is NOT Kate Mansi. KA did win a Daytime Emmy.

KA just moved back to Philly and doesn't seem to be acting anymore. I don't think we need to worry.

KA won a Daytime Emmy, but it doesn't mean that she's a good actress. :shrug:

Do we think the role of Abby will be recast before KM's final scenes air?

Probably. KM is going to air into June, and they've seemingly been looking for a replacement since before she left. It's not even February yet, so they have, like, five months to find someone before she stops airing.

Yes, BU is still acting. I kinda wish that they hire an unknown actress. It worked for BF.
