I hope they leave the baby with Chad if they write Abby out. I don't want her to leave town and forget the baby but it's probably a bigger exit. |

That's my plan. I wish Kate all the best and will enjoy every bit of Chabby I get before she leaves. |

Not surprised by this news since the rumors were floating around for the past couple of months. I love Chabby - BF and KM have amazing chemistry! But I plan to enjoy every last ounce of those two the writers give us until she's gone. I do hope they recast the role, but maybe a break in between would be a good thing for the character. |

If Abby leaves, I still want to see her & Chad's baby. At least it will be something to hang onto. I have a feeling the baby is staying with Chad. |

If I remember correctly there was another blind item about a soap dealing with two exits about the same time. I wonder if it was Days related or not. |

I'm one of the few people not upset about this. I do wish Kate the best of luck in her career. |

Although I had a sneaking suspicion this was gonna happen, it still really sucks. I love this version of Chabby. I too want Chad to keep baby and get help from Jennifer if Abby is away. I want him to be hands on father. I want recast but not for a few months. I'll need time to adjust. |

Anyway, this works fine. Honey, you look horrific.

Good luck to KM - it's a bold and brave move to leave a guaranteed job (and a high profile one at that given the writing and air time) to dive into the unknown shark-infested waters of the Hollywood casting pool. Since she hinted at leaving last year, I'm sure she's made plans and put enough money aside to lessen the "risk" and allow her to be a little more selective about which roles to accept. If Days recasts the role and then is renewed (likely at this point, but who knows), and if the recast is a bust or fails to generate the same buzz I'm sure TPTB would welcome KM if she wanted to come back. If Days takes their time, recasts wisely and the new Chabby becomes more popular, that would lessen her chances. Since Days has a "hit or miss" (usually on the "miss" side) with recasting, the odds remain in KM's favor. |

Nooo. Shit. All the newer couples I like get torn apart because of the actors leaving or being axed :( I don't really see KM making a breakthrough in Hollywood / bigger productions.. She's a good actress and her acting style works for soaps but I don't think she's good enough for other genres, at least not yet. So here's hoping she comes back sooner rather than later :D |

I wouldn't mind a new Abby if that means Chad stays with his kid. If Abby takes off with the baby, I'm going to be pissed. |

I wish nothing but the best for Kate. If she wants a chance at doing other things, this is the time to go. |

The rumors have been swirling that she was the one leaving & while I'm a bit surprised they've broken the news, I can understand that she wants it known she's available to other shows/soaps &/or primetime. In a way, it's a good thing the writers knew so far in advance she was leaving & hopefully they wrote something GOOD to wrap up the character. Quite frankly, I'd love to see her sent to an asylum after Ben haunts her and she meets a mysterious man who has amnesia...but they kind of recognize each other for some reason & lo and behold, it's JACK!! |

It will be tricky to recast Abby. I hope they give the character a rest for a few months and then bring the recast (or maybe KM will change her mind?). I like the idea of Abby having a breakdown and spending some time off screen in a mental health institute, while Chad and Jennifer fight over Thomas custody.

I could actually see them telling us the role will be recast, but we won't see the new Abby for a couple of months after KM leaves the role, because you have to remember Days will be pre-empted for two weeks in August for the Olympics. |

I'm not surprised. MBE telling Billy and Kate in that article to remain friends no matter what made me know for sure she was leaving. I wish Kate all the best and I completely understand why she's leaving now. She's been on the show for five years and at 27 it's her time to leave. I'm happy that she stuck around for the last year. I knew this was coming so nothing about my feelings about Chabby have changed. I'm going to enjoy what get for the next five months which I think is going to be amazing! I love Chad/BF so I will watch for him and hope that he gets a great new love interest or a great Abby recast. The only thing that will upset me is if they have Abby just leave and take Thomas with her full time. I don't think that will happen since I think Abby isn't going to be leaving voluntarily..either asylum or presumed dead. Edited by Silver, Jan 4 2016, 11:08 AM.

I could be totally wrong, but since Jack/MA seems to be a part of her exit, I wouldn't be surprised if Abby is rested for a bit. They don't typically bring characters back to usher people out if there is an immediate recast. And if that's the case, I'd be okay with that. Hopefully they learned their lesson with CM/GW debacle. But this is Days, so they probably didn't.... |

I can't see Abby going from how much she loves Chad now to just leaving and taking his son. I want Thomas to remain with Chad. |
