I don't see RH as Abby.
I don't want her on Days in any capacity, tbh. I think she is gorgeous and an okay actress, but she brings a huge fanbase with her and it definitely plays into the writing on GH. Days fans are really mellow comparatively. I really hope that GH keeps her. That's all I'll say about that.
It would be impossible for them to influence the writing on Days with the taping schedule. I'm not sure they have much influence on the GH writers anyways.
I doubt a large and sensitive fanbase like that "controls" a show (I'm not giving them all that power), but to say writers aren't swayed just a tad bit. . . I just have to look at the trials and tribulations of EJ and Sami. Those two got such a happy ending. ;)

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I haven't watched GH regularly since the early '00s, so I can't comment on the line delivery, but I just can't see her as Abby either. RH is almost 40! (I know she looks young, etc., etc., but still...).
I can't see this either BH is to old to play Abby True! But you could also argue that MM was too old to play Belle or even EM as Brady. They're supposed to be younger than Abby in real timeline. Clearly the writers don't care so who knows!!? But I don't think Becky Herbst is gonna be playing Abby.

But I don't think Becky Herbst is gonna be playing Abby. IMO its a bit of a jump to go from an actress in their 20's to an actress nearing 40. Yes Becky does not look like she is nearing 40, but the fact remains casting Becky as Abby would be aging the character. And would look like sisters with Missy's Jennifer instead of mother/daughter. Thats JMO.
I think IF she is coming on as Abby, the show would be banking on Becky bringing her fan base and not thinking about if this was the right character for her. Becky would be better served playing someone else.
I am torn on this one because Becky is a fantastic actress.

If Abby was off the canvas for two or three years, I think such a recast would be easier to for me accept. But since Abby has only been gone for a few months in terms of what they're taping right now, it'd be too jarring for me. I also don't think BH looks enough like MR or MA. (I mean, KM didn't look that much like them either, but :shrug: ).

I agree, I need her and her fans both to stay away from Days. I'm a massive Rebecca Herbst fan and I've been watching Days my entire life. What does that even mean?
I don't think her fan base has played into any writing at all aside from the time they fired her and brought her back because of fan outrage. Pretty much all fans try that when their favorites get fired...it just worked for her fans.

All that aside, I don't know how I feel about this in general. If Will was going to come back, I would 100% rather it be Chandler, but if they resurrect him and have Will and Sonny float off into the sunset in two seconds flat that's not likely to satisfy me either. Bleh.
I feel like the only way I'd be okay with Will returning (as Guy or Chandler, Idc) would be if he was a ghost that appeared to Sonny so they could have their closure. I wanted it before right after Will died and I never got it, lol. I just don't think Sonny's going to be back for good whenever he shows up again in a few months and if Will's alive, what's the point? I don't want him with Paul. Ugh. I hadn't even thought of that. You know how I feel about Will/Paul. Unless it turns out Guy's Will was an imposter and Sonny has been dead or gone for YEARS, I don't want those two anywhere near each other.
I kinda can't see Chandler's Will and Paul having much chemistry but I have nothing to base that on so its probably just my distaste for that pairing talking.

[twitter=SoapDigest/status/698502233864933376] I really hope he comes back. I miss Will on the show and think it was a travesty that they killed him off completely. Even if his return is for a short period of time to reveal that Guy's Will was an imposter put in by Stefano or whatnot, they could play up the drama of that all for a couple of months and then we can have him and Sonny just leave the show together for now. I never understood why they would kill Will off when a "ride off into the sunset" exit was so easy. They didn't even play any of the beats of the drama of a death, so it really was pointless.

If they had had the right after math of Will's death I would have been OK with it..but it was all a joke. His and BO's death were a freaking joke compared to St. Daniel's. It's disgusting.

It was a desperate attempt to grab viewers attention right before the anniversary. It didn't lead to anything storywise.

So Biilly liked the episode. I wonder if the other actors liked it. I'm sure the actors had a lot more fun taping it than many viewers had watching it. What the actors enjoy and what the fans enjoy can sometimes be a lot different.
