Kate Mansi, the actress who plays Abigail Deveraux on the long-running soap, “Days of Our Lives” announced via Instagram on Wednesday, Jan. 6, that she will be leaving the show.
Since 2011, Mansi has played the fan-favorite character of Abby, the daughter of soap opera super couple Jack Harcourt Deveraux and Jennifer Rose Horton.
“After much thought, I’ve decided the timing was right for me to set sail from Salem,” Mansi posted on her Instagram Wednesday morning. “I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed every single beautiful and messy moment of being Abigail, and will always treasure our time together.”
Inquisitr reports a recent casting call for the show indicates the role could be recast. This should set some fans’ minds at ease, as Abby is currently heavily in the show’s central plot points.
