I am surprised they announced it. It kinda takes the drama out of her exit.

This effectively rules out BH coming to Days as Abby lol.
The casting call sounds pretty committed to keeping Abby in her mid-20's. BH looks young, but she'll be 39 this year and it makes me wonder if she was ever a serious possibility.

Maybe Abigail has a breakdown and goes to a psychiatric hospital for a while? Can she take Summer with her please.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Maybe they will do a amnesia story with Chabby where Abby is presumed dead, and early Fall they reveal she is not dead to the audience and Abby returns to Salem not knowing who she is and doesn't run into anyone she knows right away., and when they do realize she is alive she doesn't remember her husband or family, and some other character has become romantically interested in Chad, but he is still grieving Abby's dead not knowing his wife is still alive, if the new actress had decent chemistry with BF could be a very interesting story.
I don't mind the presumed dead scenario because BF would be amazing playing his grief over Abby and then them reuniting would be amazing, but I feel like amnesia has been used way too many times on soaps. Plus everyone in Salem should know who Abby is and they would just all look stupid.
not if she ended up back in Salem with someone who didn't know that's where she was from, and they are very creative way to do near misses with other characters that know her, especially if they only do it for no more than a month. Then the story picks up with her trying to reconnect to her family and friends and a husband and child that was her whole life before the accident, but she doesn't remember them now, and to top it off she is not the same person she was before the accident, she has to learn what these people meant to her, could be a compelling story if decently written.

A few other thoughts about the Abby recast:

- I hope they know for sure that Billy is staying or has resigned already. Jason's guess is that his contract is up next month, and I'm sure they want him to stay, but... If my love interest was up in the air and I wanted to try and pursue new things, I would probably do it now if I were Billy. He's at the right age to attempt a transition. :shrug:

- The last casting call said that they wanted a "strong actress" or something like that, and this one doesn't mention that part. I assume they're still looking for a strong actress, but I just find that apparent omission interesting.

- They also put a firmer age, 26, on this casting call.

- I wonder if they actually were in talks with BH for the role, and she turned them down. It just seems like there was a big time gap between this casting call and the last one, but maybe not. Maybe it just took them a long time to audition people.
Billy's contract is up next month. At this point, I would think talks have finished and he signed again or is still on-going. I think he will sign again, he has always said he will stay as long as they want him to so I can see him signing again.

I don't mind that it is taking them awhile to cast Abby. It means they want to do it right and make sure she clicks with Billy.

Billy has said in recent interviews that he'll stay around as long as Days will have him.

Good point. I wonder what role they were supposedly interested in snagging her for then. Or maybe they didn't have a role in mind, they just wanted another "get." :rolleyes:

I personally think Billy could sizzle with the new Abby as long as the actress is decent.

If they are able to find someone and they start to tape end of April, I am guessing an October return. Possibly beginning of November sweeps.
Thanks for posting it. Assuming KM leaves in June and we see Abigail again in October, I'm going to be wishing the summer away, lol.

I'd like a presumed dead story because it will give Chad something big to play while Abby's gone more than something like her being in a mental institution. I'm a little curious what Chad does all those months she's away

Yeah, I thought they'd probably struggle to find someone, too. I mean, it took them almost a year to recast Chad, who, at the time, was pretty much a nothing character.

I think Abby's important enough to keep around, but if the show's only got a year left (I mean, let's face it: Higley is not going to help this show get their option picked up), I'd rather they just have Abby go out in the form of KM. Too bad they couldn't get her to sign for just one more year.

It's only been a few months, I don't think that's that long especially when you're replacing an actress that had been in the role for 5 years. Like cord08 mentioned, it took them almost a near to recast Chad.

I'm going to assume the show will continue.

KM already stayed an extra year longer so... :shrug: They did a great job in casting BF, so I am hopeful that whoever picked him can pick an equally talented Abby recast.

That's true. I just think it's harder to recast someone and have them be successful/accepted when they're in the middle of a really popular pairing. I think finding a better Chad was a lower bar. (No offense to CD). They're obviously trying their best, though.

If there is any truth to the Gabi/Lucas rumors that might be the big story if the fan favorite vet is Lucas....

"a backburned fan favorite is has a big story coming in summer"

Lucas please!!! :pray:
I know, I know. Not gonna happen. :'(
I'm hoping it's Marlena. In a story about HER.
I love Marlena about as much as I can & get what you're saying w/the "about HER", but she's hardly "backburnered". :shrug:
I think she is absolutely. She is on the backburner. She's around, but has no story.

Sad to say, but the only way I see Lucas getting a bigger story is if he's put on contract.
