Marci Miller Final DAYS Episode Airs Today As She Shares Heartfelt Goodbye: “Thanks For The Sweet Ride, Abby”

Courtesy/NBC

In two years time, Marci Miller became a household name in the daytime arena as one of the brightest talents to grace the soap opera genre in a very long time.

Now today on Monday November 19th, viewers of Days of our Lives are watching her final episode as she wraps up her run as Abigail Deveraux on the NBC soap opera.

And what a run it was! Earning her a Daytime Emmy nomination for Lead Actress this year, and a possible nomination next year, Miller was heralded for her gut-wrenching performances in the DID storyline (Dissociative Identity Disorder) where she played Abby’s alters, Dr. Laura and Gabby.  Not to mention her complex love story with Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn).

On key episodes today, Miller’s Abby goes toe to toe with a vindictive Gabi (Camila Banus) who gloats how Abby ended up back in a sanitarium … thanks to her!

Miller made the decision to leave DAYS and pursue a career in feature film and primetime TV roles

In an Instagram post, Miller shared:”This is a picture of me 2 yrs ago, painting my nails (and a dear friend’s while I’m at it) for a screen test the next morning to play a woman named Abigail Deveraux Dimera on Days of Our Lives. Who would’ve thought?! This morning I sit in the same exact spot knowing that today, my last episode will air as this beloved character. I reflect, and am grateful. I am better for having been a part of it all. Knowing I’ve laid her in a pair of loving and capable hands does me good. Thanks for the sweet ride, Abby. My heart is full today. Xx #Days #Milly#Chabby”

So, send your well-wishes to Marci here as we give her a standing ovation for an incredible job well-done for her portrayal of Abby et al.  Will you miss Marci? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

I love you Marci. Sweet niece!

And Nanny Jo is not to be outdone and is wishing you a very bright future and much love!

Good luck with your new adventure, and you will be missed.

Marci Miller was the best actress of all those on all the Soap Opera’s. Nobody hated her!

I miss Marci she was a better Abby

We will very much miss your wonderful performances as Abby and equally wonderful performances as her alters! You are a gifted actress who shared that gift with all of us and we were so fortunate! All the best as you go forward and we anxiously await your future endeavors! Much appreciation from a humble fan!

Thank you, Marci! I enjoyed every minute of your presentation of Abigail. From frail and broken to strong and determined, your interpretation of Abigail made the viewers believe and connect to her every emotion. You and Billy will be so missed.

I was never taken by/with Marci Miller. I found her to be a very “Plain Jane,” except when she was dressed in the black Gabi wig. Then, at least, she had some spunk.

It is rare when a recast of a popular character can do such an amazing job. How lucky we are to have 2 great actresses to watch as Abigail

Great point James!

Marci I really don’t understand why you left your portrayal of Abigail was Brilliant I loved it. Take a bow girl. I wish you well in whatever you wish to do. I will miss this version of Chabby i loved it lol. Anyway best wishes from Australia xx

Take care Marci.You really were wonderful as Abby. I truly enjoyed you in the split personality story line.That story line seemed meant for you. Good luck in all your future endeavors. Hope to see you back on the tv screen someday soon. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. God Bless.

Marci, You were the greatest Abby. Well miss you on days. Hope to see you in movies are what every you will do. Good luck in the future whatever you decide to do I always liked you from day 1.. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

I really liked Marci playing Abby. She is an amazing actress. I will miss her but wish her only good things on future projects.

Marci is a fantastic actress and will be missed. Best of luck to her in all of her future endeavors. We were so fortunate that such a gifted actress assumed the role of Abigail when Kate Mansi left.

Marci was awesome and will be missed!

She is a great actress, wishing her the best in her New opportunities

Best of luck in all you do ,I know you will be great but you will be missed maybe some day you will come back

Marci Miller, We grew to love you in the character. You will be so missed. Can’t wait to see what your future holds.❤️

I will miss Marci! I will miss Marci! I will miss Marci! Her Abby is probably my favorite soap character since GL’s Olivia! I like Kate Mansi, but Marci Miller added a new layer to this complex character! I cannot way to see what Miller has in store!

Marci,,I don’t know if you’ve read this before,but I wanted to commend you for taking the role,& not only making it your own,but had me asking,,,Kate -who????You handled a really tough role with grace,elegance & professionalism & someday if you ever get bored with the silver screen,,please come back to reclaim your role.May GOD Bless

Marci..what a rare find: Soulful, soft, vulnerable, graceful, a classic beauty,.as ‘Gabby’ she was edgy, sexy, angry..
Marci was a revelation in her too short portrayal as Abigail!.. wow! She was impossible to look away from and capitivating. Her run as Abby/ Gabby will be a Days classic for the books!She was a powerhouse as the Abby in and out of the psych hospital, heartbreaking and tender yet angry in her scenes on the brink of sanity!
She is on my short list of best actresses on tv. You ofcourse will be missed. ..come home to Salem soon!

You are great Marci you will be greatly missed ❤️

U r amazing good luck I will miss you

They say time flies when you’re having fun. Time did fly for me watching you, Marci! I hope you truly had fun playing Abby and wouldn’t hesitate returning to the role if the time is right. Loved your final scenes!

Marci, I want to applaud you for your superb performance of Abigail. It’s just been incredible!!! I wish you all the best in the future. I for one can’t wait to see what the future holds for an incredible talent like yours!!

Thank you so much, Marci. You added layers to Abigail that made her a character worth rooting for and compelling. I am going to miss watching your portrayal of her and i wish you all the luck in your future projects.

Your the best just wished you had stayed long enough to out Gabi wishing the best fingers crossed for your Emmy award and acceptance speech

Marci, you leave us but you will never be forgotten by your loving and devoted fans. More than you can imagine, you shared your talent and your love of the actor’s desire to express and explore every depth of the assignment you were given. Success in every area. Miss you already.

I am so sad to see you leave, you played a wonderful part every showcyou were on. I had no idea you were leaving . Best of luck to all that you do . Sure will miss you .

Will miss you as Abigail DiMera. You characterized Abby as a gutsy, intuitive and empowered female. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors. Hope to see you back on days of our lives.

I never thought anyone could fill Kate Mansi shoes. But I got to tell you Marci, you overcame and has been the best actress to play Abigail. I will miss you and Billy Flynn. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Come back soon, you are already missed

Will miss you Marci, but you must be happy getting away from Billy and his murderous act of killing Chad, as we knew him. They call Abigail crazy, but these last few months of Chad/Billy acting is certifiable. He acts like he’s on drugs or something. Doesn’t speak clearly, just stutters and stamners, it hurts to watch him anymore. I wish you the best and could hardly watch what they have done to Abby, these last month’s.

Agree, between Billy’s version of Chad and Stefano poor Abby deserves sooo much better.

Yes she will be miss

Absolutely love you, Marci Miller! There are not enough accolades to bestow upon you! Mesmerizing, captivating, enchanting, riveting…you took daytime to a new level!

No doubt you’ll go on to have your pick of wonderful roles in prime time and/or film. Your range is incredible. I look forward to your next project (s).

You will be missed.

Marci Miller , I enjoyed watching you as Abby , you will be missed very much . From All Your Fans in Canada

Of course on the first day I saw Marci as Abigail, I was resistant. I wanted Kate to stay, but damn, it was literally the next episode, I was like, who the hell is this girl and where has she been hiding?!!! You blew me away, and I’m sure, everyone else feels the same. You are so frigging amazing Marci, and I expect to you holding an Emmy next year! I will follow your career and wish you the best, but you got this girlfriend! OMG, I can’t wait to see who gets your talent!!! Your scenes during the height of her DID absolutely were up there with Oscar-worthy talents, and I know we haven’t seen the last of you. Good luck, thank you, and happy Thanksgiving Marci.

I love you Marci so sad to see you go. Days just wont be the same without you. I am already missing you. You brightened up my Days. Even my best friend commented how well you play Abby. Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do. I just bet we will see you in some Lifetime movies. There have been plenty of Days stars in Lifetime movies. I could relate to Abby since I have four mental illness’s myself. You will certainly be missed.With love,Carol

Too bad Marci’s Abby never got to get the upper hand on Gabi before she left. Gabi has been so disgusting lately that I would prefer she be written off (the actress will probably leave when her contract is up in April). I feel embarrassed for Marci with the stupid Gabby storyline this past year. I was hoping they wouldn’t bring it back, but even on Marci’s last day the damn wig was there. It was obvious that the show loved Marci and writing for her, but I don’t blame the actress for taking off once her contract was up.

Marci you are the best,I hope that you have a very happy holiday season. God bless you and good luck on whatever you decide to do. You will be missed. Perhaps someday you will find your way back to Days as someone else.I love you.

Marci is a very talented person.This woman can sing.Love her

I am missing Marci.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”

March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.

However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture

Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.

Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory,  when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”

Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”

Photo: JPI

The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean,  and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”

When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”

The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.

So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

Robyn Bernard, ‘General Hospital’s’ Terry Brock, Dead at 64

Former General Hospital star, Robyn Bernard, who played aspiring singer Terry Brock has died. She was 64-years-old.

Bernard’s body was found Tuesday in San Jacinto, California. A Riverside County Coroner told TMZ they identified the actress’ body using her fingerprints after deputies responded to a death investigation call on Tuesday March 12th.

Sources told the outlet that Bernard’s body was found in the wee hours of the morning. The cause of death has yet to be determined.

Bernard joined General Hospital back in 1984 as Terry Brock, the daughter of the abusive D.L. Brock (played by David Groh). Robyn remained on the ABC soap opera for six years before making her exit in 1990. At one point, Terry’s stepmother would become Bobbie Spencer (the late Jackie Zeman) when the nurse married her father.

Terry was involved in the Laurelton Murders storyline and after first setting her sights on Frisco Jones, wound up with killer Kevin O’Connor. Later, Terry was blamed for several murders and in the end killed Kevin in self-defense. In addition, Terry had a relationship with Dusty Walker played by none other than Shaun Cassidy.  She eventually left Port Charles after landing her own recording contract.

The last time GH Fans may have seen Bernard was in 2014, when she appeared at the GH Fan Club Weekend Past Cast event. Robyn is pictured below with the late Susan Brown (ex-Gail) at the fan gathering. She has been out of the limelight for several years.

In addition to her role on GH, Bernard was featured throughout her TV career on primetime’s Simon & Simon, Tour of Duty and The Facts of Life.

This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.

The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.

Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.

In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”

The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
