They easily could have broken Abigail and Chad up and had her move to Boston for a while.

It gives a few actors who are doing good work Emmy reels, but is all this depressing shit worth it? I don’t think so. Whenever Ken Corday gets nervous about a renewal, he’ll have Abigail scoot her way out of that coffin. It is tedious watching characters grieve for a character who shouldn’t have been murdered and who we all know will be resurrected within two years. It is gross, and it doesn’t even make narrative sense. Yet they had her uncle and her cousin be suspects in her murder. Abigail is in neither of these categories as she’s a beloved heroine and the only character with a legit motive to kill Abigail is her flop sister Gwen. Usually, murder mysteries are reserved for villains half the town has a reason to kill or serial killer stories with multiple victims. Yet they never learn a lesson from this as, a month ago, Abigail was stabbed to death in her bedroom. When Ben gave Will the time of his life (and death) by choking him, two years later Ron Carlivati’s pitch to bring Will back from the dead got him hired as head writer. When a brainwashed Marlena killed half the town, they walked that shit back fast and had them all alive on an island replica of Salem named Melaswen. And just like that woman bravely debuting her ill-advised new bangs to her friend group, they always regret it. It is the Days version of a woman getting bangs. When Days of our Lives is going through a transition period, it is very common for them to trot out a serial killer or kill off a popular character. It is the best of times and the worst of times. It is that time again as the show goes through a bumpy transition as they are also coming off a well-received second season of Beyond Salem. Days of Our Lives has needed to be saved almost as many times as Princess Peach. If you are a fan of Days of Our Lives, you are likely used to seeing the phrase “The Plan to Save Days !” every few years on a cover of Soap Opera Digest.
