    I am also so very happy to see Kate Mansi back as Abby. I just did not like Marci Miller's take on the role, though very talented. She played Abby as too soft, not spunky. The wardrobe was even worse, save for the wedding gown from Abby's second wedding to Chad.

      It's nothing personal against Marci Miller, but her portrayal was very bland. Your right about the "spunk".And you're right about the wardrobe too. She should be 30ish, but acted & dressed like an old woman. And Im 59 & I thought she was older than me! Maybe I'm just immature.

    Well without a doubt, my Fav Return, has been Kate Mansi, on Days! I never could reconcile her replacement! The greatest loss, imho, was or was it? also on the same show - Adrienne Zucker (sp) - Nicole.

    The Storyline on Y&R about the killing and cover-up, of JT, has almost made me forget the real tragedy here - Abuse! And fwiw, i sided with Ashley on the dna double cross, served Jack a very good lesson.

    GH has been as entertaining as Ever! but can't say the same about B&B! it has been barely tolerable since well, Thomas and Caroline left and other Storylines/Characters- supplanted them! I am so sick right now, of Hope and her petty carrying on, about Taylor and the safety of her daughter, etc. She gives no room for compromise or visits with supervision, etc. She just seems so one-dimensional overall. If something interesting doesn't peak my attention, and soon! I shall be bidding adieu to that Show soon in 2019!

      Having watched soaps since the late 60's ( Dark Shadows) & then non stop since the late 70's, I'm used to recasts. Some roles should never be recast, Like Stephano, Sami, EJ., Bo. But I'm with you. I never got used to Marci Miller as Abby. And, Stacy Haiduk, was good as Susan, if you weren't familiar with Eileen Davidson's portrayal of Susan & the rest of the gang. She owned those roles!
      I hope they don't waste Matthew Ashford the way they've wasted so many others they've had back for short runs. They really wasted Allison Sweeney on her last visit. And getting rid of so many long term fan favorites. Ari Zucker, Steve Nichols, Bryan Datillo. Wish they'd bring Louise Sorrel back again. Love her Vivian!
      Sometimes I honestly think they are trying to run the show into the ground. Christmas Day & nobody is happy in Salem.

      I started in 68 and the loss of OLTL is still my greatest anger! And not on my watch either, as Eileen Davidson should have gotten the role to return as Kristen! I've even read that Alfonso is considering leaving the show and man, it will be real hard to watch if she leaves too!

      I agree. If Eileen Davidson couldn't reprise the roles then they shouldn't have brought the characters back.
      I haven't heard that Kristan Alfonso was thinking of leaving, but, honestly, it doesn't surprise me. The vets are leaving in droves, whether by their own choice or TPTB's doing. Pretty soon it will be the Ben, Ciara, Claire & Tripp show. None of whom I give a rat's a** about.
