Days of Our Lives has really been testing our patience with this one. Nearly eight months after Peacock announced that AnnaLynne McCord was cast in the long-running soap, we can finally confirm which character the 90210 vet is actually playing. Following a DNA test on Wednesday’s episode, McCord’s Jane Doe was revealed to be none other than the presumed-dead Abigail DiMera, previously portrayed by Marci Miller.
We knew that McCord was playing someone who underwent plastic surgery and suffered from amnesia (the soap opera double whammy!), but until that test confirmed her as a genetic match, we weren’t ready to assume anything. Heck, on this show, how certain can we even be about a DNA test?
While Chad, Jack and the rest of the family are thrilled to have Abigail back home, the woman in question isn’t feeling the same warm and fuzzies. “I don’t know you — any of you!” she told them. “I don’t feel like I belong here. None of this makes any sense to me at all.”
The episode ended with Abigail reluctantly agreeing to stay in Salem, where she’ll be posting up at the DiMera Mansion while she adjusts to her new (old?) life. “So I guess Abigail’s home,” she said with a sigh as she took in her new (old?) surroundings.
Days fans, now that we know — for real this time — that McCord is the new Abigail, how are we feeling about this frothy twist? And do you think there’s more to the story here? Drop a comment with your thoughts on this wild recast below.
Is This Really Abigail DiMera?
There’s clearly more to the story than meets the eye. For starters, is this really Abigail DiMera? Or could she be another unknown daughter of Jack’s, perhaps a long-lost twin sister of Gwen? This isn’t the first time Days of Our Lives has pulled a fast one on viewers, so we’re not entirely convinced that this is truly Abigail.
A DNA Test is No Guarantee on Days
We know that DNA tests can be easily faked on soap operas, and this show is no exception. So, who’s to say that the DNA results are accurate? Maybe Dr. Greene is in on some kind of scheme, or perhaps a lab tech was paid off to tamper with the results. Anything is possible on Days of Our Lives!
The New Abigail's Amnesia
The new Abigail is suffering from amnesia, which means that she doesn’t remember her past life. This could be a way for the writers to explain her new look and personality, but it also creates a lot of opportunities for drama and intrigue. Will she regain her memories? And if she does, what will she remember? Will she even want to remember?
What's Next For The New Abigail?
With Abigail back in Salem, it’s only a matter of time before she gets caught up in the drama. Will she be able to handle all the chaos that comes with being a DiMera? And will she be able to find happiness with Chad? We’ll have to wait and see what the writers have in store for this new chapter in Abigail’s life. But one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a wild ride!
