I don't see it. They are just starting a JJ/Gabi. I don't see CB having chemistry with BF for some reason. Edited by Restless84, Jan 4 2016, 12:16 PM.

AZ is way too tall for BF. |

I think JMB might be a good fit, although she is about five or six years older than KM. She's also currently (recurring or regular, I'm not sure) on an NBC primetime show called Chicago Med. So, if she's having some primetime success right now, I'm not sure if she'd be interested in jumping back into daytime. |

This is definitely a bummer, but not a shocker. The rumors have been swirling around for months, so it definitely helps soften the blow. I'm sad to lose Kate. Her version of Abigail is by far my favorite, and I think she brought a certain depth to the character. What I will miss the most is her interaction with Jennifer and JJ. I hope the show finds a good recast, if that's what they're planning to do. If they choose not to, then I hope they bring back another female character from that generation. Stephanie, Chelsea, etc. |

I have no clue about any actresses who will be a good recast of Abby... anyone watch The Middle and if you do? I think the character Sue from The Middle would be a prefect fit for the role of Abby on Days Of Our Lives in my point of view. She is pretty and everything Abby is. |

BF and CB are both chemistry magnets, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did end up having chemistry. I do think it's kind of ridiculous to already be pairing Chad off though when we don't even know if "Abby" is actually leaving Salem or not... Lol. |

I love AZ and Nicole but I don't see a Chicole pairing in the future. Nicole's new pairing would start before KM even leaves and I'm sure they will play Chabby until the very end. |

I have to respectfully disagree. I don't think it's fair to categorize her leaving as a slap in the face. It's show business, and show business cuts both ways (sometimes TPTB let people go, sometimes people choose to leave). She fulfilled her contractual obligations and has decided that it's time to move on. It's no different than anyone else leaving a non-acting job for new opportunities, time off, change, or other personal reasons that we are not privy to. I think that when we label something as a 'slap in the face', we're just sort of projecting our own disappointment or (in your case, since you're admittedly not a fan) surprise. Now if she does a bunch of exit interviews where she trashes the show and talks about how thrilled she is to be out of there, then yes, that would be a slap in the face, lol. But I don't see that happening. I wish her well either way. And if we get a recast that is not very good, I hope she comes back lol. |

It's hard to explain, but there is something about CB's energy that I don't think would sync well with BF's Chad. Plus who would there be for JJ? They way they have written Chad, it's hard for me to buy him loving anyone else but Abigail. All I want is Chabby, whether it's with a recast or KM comes back eventually. |

Oh darn, I didn't realize that. Oh well, I'm fine if they take their time finding a recast. Even if Abby's gone, maybe Chad should take some time off the romantic circuit so he can process his recent upheavals instead of jumping in to a new relationship right away. I'd like to see him devote all his time to being a good parent. |

I'm very grateful that I've been prepared for this news for well over a month now. I knew one day soon I would come to this board and see this exact headline. I was upset about it for one night when the BI came out and then I just decided to enjoy this version of Chabby while we had them. |

Not happening. Camila probably leaves in April and CM's contract expires next January. They've already filmed a lot of Jabi scenes so that's probably the pairing for the foreseeable future. |

All i know is if Ben drives Abby to the brink and she needs to go off to some facility, the Chad I know would never move on from Abby if they're married or even if not while she's getting help. I'm not saying this is happening, but this is a good way to have character off screen a few months, let Chad mix it up without a woman, he's interesting enough for that, and then bring back a recast Abby. When couples have been given story such as Chabby (a supercouple vibe), you don't just move them on to the next. As someone said, that's why they usually make you believe one/half of couple dies because it makes it easier for transition. I definitely want Chabby to continue with a recast in future or they'll have to bring someone new on or Stephanie. None of the women currently on Days suit Chad in my opinion. |

UO I guess but I'm not a huge CB/Gabi fan and I haven't seen her have much chemistry with anybody so I really can't see her with Chad/BF. And I understand what you mean about her energy not matching BF's. I hate to say this but this news makes me understand why Corday and other soaps are so wary about writing and promoting super couples anymore because I cant see Chad loving anybody other than Abby anymore either. His love for her has become all consuming (in a good way). I think a recast is the only way to go and we have to just hope for the best. |

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

Oh yes I forgot about Chicago Med! Anyway I think she might want to stick around primetime a little longer before or if she chooses to return to Daytime. Regarding the age thing I don't think it's that big of a deal but I do see your point. Eric Martsolf is 10 yrs older than KL's Brady and it annoyed me to no end that Martha Madison was 7 years older than Kirsten Storms but I got used to it eventually. Anyway I hope they do a good job with this recast and it's not another Guy Wilson type of situation. |

It's not gonna happen because she's a hit right now on Pretty Little Liars but what if Ashley Benson miraculously came back as Abby Devereaux!? How you would you guys feel about this? |

Have a feeling that casting call back in December was for an Abby recast. I know some don't want to hear this but I think that's the case. |

I can see Chad with another woman even though I love him with Abby but I also believe that you can love more than one person in your life without it cheapening the other love. I think that GH did this more or less well enough with Patrick, Sam and Robin. I also liked Bo/Billie 1.0 (before Billie started doing bad things, back when she was just an underdog heroine) even though I always accepted that Bope was the forever couple. If Abby ever comes back, I am probably going to be biased towards Chabby over whatever new couple Chad might be in, and in that sense, it might put his second love interest at a disadvantage. But that's not necessarily damning for any character and sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles, etc. Same way as how I feel if Frankie came back for Jennifer. I'll always want Jack and Jennifer whensoever it is an option, but it doesn't make me angry to think of Jennifer loving Frankie too. Etc. I like Chad and Belle as platonic snarkers, so I don't need it to turn romantic, but NGL, I liked their chemistry so I'm not ruling it out. I have to agree that I am not super intrigued by the idea of Chad and Gabi chemistry-wise, I could be wrong though. I don't really care that AZ is taller than most men, women can be taller, it's no big deal, and I can see BF and AZ having good chemistry too. Right now, to me, Abby is the love of Chad's life and v versa, but it's a soap and I can handle other pairings. I just want them to always have a special connection whenever both characters are available. |
