It really is ironic that Kate Mansi opted to leave ‘Days Of Our Lives’ now – seeing as how she is currently in the middle of the one of the soap opera’s biggest storyline.  It’s unclear why Kate Mansi opted to quit the NBC soap opera, but one thing is for sure – she can’t blame it on her lack of storylines or screen time. ‘Days Of Our Lives‘ was Kate’s first major acting gig, she might just be read to branch out and try new things.

Now, for the obvious question – will the soap opera recast the character of Abigail Deveraux and find a replacement for Kate Mansi, or will they just write Abigail out of the daytime drama all together.  There are a ton of old characters returning in 2016 (including Abigail’s father Jack), so the writers may be able to make Abigail’s absence a smooth transition.  But, considering Abigail now has a baby with another main character, her father Jack will be back, and she still has a ton of family in Salem – it would probably be more logical for the writers to just recast the role.
