Days of Our Lives: 3 Reasons to Resurrect Abby and 1 Huge Reason to Leave Her Dead

Chad’s life has been a whirlwind of pain and betrayal since the tragic loss of his beloved wife, Abigail. The agony he felt when he found her lifeless body in their bed, brutally stabbed, was devastating. Since then,

Chad has had to grieve her loss, but now, thanks to Clyde’s twisted schemes, he must endure the heartbreak all over again. This is where the question arises: should “Days of Our Lives” bring Abigail back from the

dead? Here are three compelling reasons to resurrect Abby—and one huge reason to let her rest in peace.

First and foremost, Chad deserves a break from all the turmoil he has been through. Abigail’s return would be a monumental moment for Chad’s emotional healing. After everything he’s endured—grieving her death, being deceived by Cat pretending to be Abby, and realizing the depth of Clyde’s manipulations—Chad deserves a happy ending. Seeing the real Abigail alive and well would be the kind of relief that Chad has desperately needed. It would offer him closure and finally allow him to reunite with the true love of his life.

The second reason to bring Abigail back is for the sake of her children. Charlotte and Thomas need their mother, and after all the suffering their family has been through, it seems only fair that they get their mother back. Abigail’s presence would help mend the broken family, healing the deep scars caused by Clyde and Cat’s con. While Chad, Jack, and even Jennifer were fooled by the impersonation, Jennifer and Steve immediately sensed that something was wrong. Abigail’s return would offer not just relief but also redemption for her family, as they finally see justice served after being torn apart by deception.

The third reason is for the fans. Abby and Chad (or “Chabby”) have become one of the most iconic couples in “Days of Our Lives.” Fans have watched their love story unfold through triumphs and tragedies, and bringing Abigail back would reignite that passionate storyline. Whether played by Kate Mansi, Marci Miller, or even a recast, the return of Abigail would electrify fans and reinvigorate one of the show’s most beloved couples. Billy Flynn, who portrays Chad, has consistently delivered powerful performances opposite both Mansi and Miller, and fans would eagerly embrace a reunion between him and Abigail.

However, there is one huge reason to leave Abigail dead—Clyde. Clyde’s manipulative and dangerous nature makes resurrecting Abby risky. He has already falsified DNA tests and tricked Chad and Abigail’s family into believing the lie. If Abigail were to return, it could potentially unravel the case against Clyde, giving him a way out of prison. The consequences of that could be devastating for Salem. Clyde is a dangerous man, and if his crimes are undone by Abigail’s return, the ripple effect could endanger many lives. Leaving Abigail dead ensures that Clyde remains behind bars, rotting away in prison for the rest of his days.

But let’s not forget the logistical challenges. Both actresses who have portrayed Abigail are currently involved in other projects. Marci Miller left “Days” to pursue new opportunities and is busy with theater and film. Kate Mansi is under contract at “General Hospital” with a major role, making her return unlikely. Recasting Abigail with a new actress, such as Emma Ryland or Kelly Monaco from “General Hospital,” could offer an intriguing twist. Both actresses have the talent and fan following to step into the role and carry the storyline forward.

Ultimately, the decision to bring Abigail back to life will have a massive impact on Salem. Whether it’s for Chad’s healing, her children’s future, or the fans’ love for the character, her return would be monumental. However, the risk of freeing Clyde and the challenge of finding the right actress could make leaving her dead the safer choice. For now, we wait to see how the writers of “Days of Our Lives” will decide Abigail’s fate.
