DOOL Spoilers: Not Marci Miller or Kate Masin, Sofia Mattsson Will Play Abigail on DOOL
Abigail Deveraux’s Return? Sophia Mattsson Rumors Set Salem Ablaze!
Today, the rumor mill is working overtime with whispers of a casting shake-up that could bring Abigail Deveraux DiMera back to the canvas—and perhaps with a brand-new face. Could General Hospital alum Sophia Mattsson be stepping into one of the most iconic roles in DOOL history?
Abigail, the beloved daughter of Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton, has been a fixture in Salem lore since 1992. Over the years, she’s survived illness, heartbreak, kidnapping, multiple identities, and even death.
Most recently played by Marci Miller, Abigail was tragically murdered in 2022—her death supposedly at the hands of villain Clyde Weston. But this is Salem. Death is often just the beginning.
With Billy Flynn recently exiting as Chad DiMera and Connor Floyd (formerly Y&R’s Chance Chancellor) stepping in as his replacement, the timing feels almost too perfect. Could the show be setting the stage for the Chabby love story to rise again, reborn with new faces? Enter Sophia Mattsson.
Mattsson, best known for her role as Sasha Gilmore on General Hospital, has shown tremendous emotional range—from con artist to grieving mother—and fans believe she could handle the complicated legacy that comes with portraying Abigail.
Social media has exploded with speculation, especially since Mattsson’s GH departure was confirmed on July 18, 2025. Reddit users and soap blogs are ablaze, debating her suitability, with comments like “She’d make a damn fine Abigail” and “This is the reboot Days needs!”
Abigail’s storyline is rich with dramatic potential. Imagine this: Chad, now played by Floyd, is set to marry Cat Green—the mysterious woman who once pretended to be Abigail. As the ceremony begins, a woman steps into the chapel.
The crowd gasps. It’s Abigail. Or is it? The woman, played by Mattsson, declares, “I’m Abigail Deveraux—and I’m not dead.” The wedding erupts into chaos. Chad is torn. Jennifer and Jack rush to their daughter’s side. And Salem is turned upside down—again.
Of course, some fans remain skeptical. Some worry Mattsson may be too young for the role; others are tired of resurrections altogether. Still, for many, Abigail’s return—especially played by a seasoned actress like Mattsson—could be just what Days needs to reignite the Horton legacy.
Whether Mattsson ends up playing Abigail, Sloan Petersen, or another mystery woman, her arrival in Salem would no doubt send shockwaves through the show. But for now, the hourglass continues to run, and we’re left waiting for that official confirmation.
One thing’s for certain: in Days of Our Lives, the past never stays buried for long. So, dear fans, would you welcome Sophia Mattsson as the new Abigail?
