Days Of Our Lives
Marci Miller Shares Sentiments On Her Final Tape Day At DAYS
Today was the last day of the incredible journey of Marci Miller as Abigail Deveraux DiMera. After two years, the actress decided to not renew her contract after receiving a Daytime Emmy nomination and playing the multiple personalities storyline of Abigail, Gabby, and Dr. Laura.
Here, she shared her sentiments via an Instagram post on her final tape day at the NBC studios in Burbank.
“And just like that, 2 very meaningful years have come and gone. I have been loved so well today. I will miss this cast. I will miss these people. I will miss this place. I am both heavy and light at the same time. Much love to all, you have left just the sweetest impression on me. Xx #Days”
What did you think about the sentiments Marci Miller has shared? Sad to know it’s Marci’s last day in Salem? Comment below.
Very well done acting job!
2 years already…thought it was less than a year…she won me over a lot quicker than i thought she would…great actress…wish her the best!!!
My hope is she is not leaving prematurely. MM is immensely talented. I wish her nothing, but the best. I will be keeping an out for her future TV and film projects. As Days tapes six months ahead I think under a year is incorrect. I do not watch regularly. Though, when Kate Manzi won her Emmy I think Marci had been filming for half a year or more. You will still see her as Abby for months yet.
What a beautiful picture of her…..love the backdrop and the sun on her face.
Wish her well.
that’s a lovely picture of; do you see the Cheryl Tiegs resemblance ! oh heck
It took me a while to get used to “her Abby” but she certainly has acting chops… just not understanding why she couldn’t wrap up her storyline. Now they are bringing in Kate Mansi again, to wrap and it doesn’t make sense since she will only be on to wrap. Very disappointing all around.
I cannot recall anyone leaving me with the impression that Marci Miller has done in her portrayal of Abigail Devereaux on Days of Our Lives. She was the perfect partner for Billy Miller (aka Chad DiMera). Together, with their superb acting abilities one was transported into their world as if it had been their real Life. I so loved the two of them together and I don’t think anyone can compare with that duo. I wish Marci Miller all the best in her future endeavours and I do so hope that she will come back to Days of our Lives. We want her to return. Love to you Marci Miller….nobody will compare to you as Abby.
^^^ “thank you – THANK YOU – ( heart pull ) , thank you”
“… one was transported into their world as if it had been their real Life.”
without doubt…
I realized their love ; from the start
that being said… two years OUT. cannot be happening
WITH the whole canvas pulling… I can let this go

I’ve posted many a time: save your nest egg.. because i’ll do what it takes to keep his magnificence. Can’t hide it or lie. he worked magic twice
both Kate and Marci. I’ve posted ; it’s time for Jade Harlow to vixen back to town
will @DAYS vision brothers align? Chad and Stefan ? I would love that Vivian – never – die. she’s too … TOO .. so beloved
yet.. some one has to answer for the atrocity
like some one posted: we’ve yet to see thaao Penghlis on the SOD list of exiting/leaving… and/or returning. YELP help me.. this has to be so
Thaao and Lauren… DREAM team sophisticate zingers wit and aplomb.. REEL
martini folks
the DiMera manse… must be / should be filled heralded for all the denizen

triple crown plus supplanted GH in less than a year
you’ve got a stomping ground legion of FANS chewing up the scenery
Super talented! Gorgeous! Hard-working; Marci Miller delivered an exceptional performance with her DID story. From the conversations with her other selves to her desperate cries for help from her loved ones in her head… to her almost film noir piano/singing sequences; she had me mesmerized. I forgot I was watching a soap but felt I’d entered an art house.
She took daytime to another level with her acting in that story. Sorry to see her go but I’ll be looking for her future projects.
Will miss you Marci,why did you decide to leave ?
Marci Miller really played the hell out of the role of abigail. She was quietly fierce and her chemistry with Chad was spot on. With that said her portrayl of Gabby hit me right thru the heart The tragedy of existing but not existing and fighting to stay “real” coupled with her desperation fueled love affair with stefan was unusual but i was rooting for them. Pleasant surprise…
She seems like a beautiful person I am so sorry and sad to see her go. I hope some day she will come back to days. As who? Who knows? Marci you will be missed. With love a fan.Carol
I wish her Most Unholy success in the future. It’s just too bad that so much of her time in Salem was wasted on another ReRon vanity story.
I didn’t care for her Abigail in the beginning. She has done a phenomenal job and I personally will miss her portrayal of Abby very much. Few could carry out the personality storyline as well as Marci did. That female head thing she did for Gabby was the perfect touch. Made me laugh every time
So who’s the next Abby Its ridiculous to keep changing actors just for that character ESP when they’re more of a supporting actor than a good main character actor Like the OGs Like Chad 1st didn’t have that Get your attention like this Chad Abby role could be deleted And keep Steve but no They never listen to fans Horrible how Hes getting treated YOU NEVER JUST TOSS ASIDE THE OG ACTORS OF SOAPS especially for the young actors thst fome in get noticed and its Byebye I want to explore lifes meaning OG Soap actors are as loyal as their fansWhich BTY keeps evety1 to do with ea show working
