Days of Our Lives has truly been challenging our endurance with this particular storyline
After a prolonged wait of nearly eight months since Peacock declared AnnaLynne McCord’s addition to the enduring drama series, we can now disclose the identity of the character portrayed by the 90210 actress. Wednesday’s episode featured a DNA test that uncovered McCord’s Jane Doe to be the long-presumed deceased Abigail DiMera, a character once played by Marci Miller.
It was known that McCord was to embody a character who had undergone plastic surgery and was afflicted with amnesia—a classic soap opera combination! However, we refrained from making assumptions until the DNA results verified a genetic link.
After all, on a show like this, the reliability of a DNA test is always up for debate.
While Chad, Jack, and other family members are overjoyed at Abigail’s return, the woman at the center of this commotion isn’t sharing in the joyous sentiments. “I don’t recognize any of you! ” she declared. “I don’t feel like I’m part of this place. Everything here is completely bewildering to me.”
The episode concluded with Abigail grudgingly consenting to remain in Salem, where she will be residing in the DiMera Mansion as she becomes reacquainted with her past life. “I suppose this means Abigail’s back home,” she remarked with a heavy sigh, taking in her familiar yet strange environment.
Days of Our Lives loyalists, now that we’ve confirmed McCord’s portrayal of the new Abigail, what are your thoughts on this bubbling plot twist? And is there perhaps more to this tale than meets the eye? Drop a comment with your thoughts on this wild recast below.
