‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Abigail’s New Face Explained In Shocking New Storyline


Days of Our Lives fans are bracing themselves for the final air date of fan favorite actress Kate Mansi, who plays Abigail Deveraux. However, with Kate’s departure comes a shocking new storyline for her character.

According to Soap Hub, Days of Our Lives fans are about to get a bizarre new summer storyline, which will transition into the fact that the character of Abigail is about to look very different.

As many fans know, Abigail Deveraux-DiMera is currently seeking treatment for mental health issues in a psychiatric hospital. Abby, who has a family history of mental illness, checked herself into the treatment facility after she had a mental breakdown due in large part to her murderous ex-boyfriend, Ben Weston.

Unfortunately, Abigail hasn’t been faring well while in treatment. Days of Our Lives viewers have watched as she’s continued to spiral into her illness, and has now pushed away her family members, including husband Chad.

Chad has also been spiraling due to the fact that Abigail doesn’t want to see him or their son, Thomas. Chad doesn’t know how to help his wife, and the reality of her issues are finally starting to sink in. Sadly, things are about to go from bad to worse when a fire breaks out at the hospital where Abigail is staying.

Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that Abby will be badly burned, and be forced to wear bandages as well as a mask on her face in Kate Mansi’s final scenes before the recast takes effect.

Mansi recently revealed that she wasn’t happy about covering her face for her final scenes as Abigail Deveraux-DiMera. The actress says she was disappointed and believes the decision for the mask was more about her leaving than it was in the best interest of the character.

“I was disappointed. Truthfully, I think the abrupt script revisions with the mask were more a decision about Kate Mansi leaving than it was about the character of Abigail and that bothered me after all the work we put into telling this last story.”

As many Days of Our Lives enthusiasts know, Kate Mansi’s last air date is rapidly approaching, and her replacement has already been cast. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, soap opera newcomer Marci Miller has been cast as the brand new Abigail Deveraux, and the new face could very likely be explained by Abby having facial reconstructive surgery after the fire burned her.

Meanwhile, Marci says she’s super excited to begin this new journey, and has received an outpouring of love and support from Days of Our Lives fans.

Sadly, viewers of the NBC soap will soon lose another fan favorite actress in Jen Lilley, who plays Theresa Donovan. The actress confirmed her departure from the show earlier this week, and thanked her loyal fans for always sending her love and well-wishes.

Lilley also gushed over how much she loved playing the character of Theresa, and how exciting her final storyline will be. Viewers will continue to see Jen air over the next six months, as the show is filmed many months in advance.

Meanwhile, it doesn’t seem that the character of Theresa Donovan will be recast, and fans are wondering how, and why, Theresa will leave Salem. Will she be killed off like other characters before her, or simply leave town? If so, will her son, Tate, go with her, leaving his father, Brady Black, in Salem without his family?

It should be interesting to see what the coming months hold for Days of Our Lives as the show goes through yet another big transition.
