A representative for General Hospital confirmed her departure but hinted that the door remains open for a possible return:
“We wish Kate all the best as she revisits a role that means so much to her and to fans. Kristina’s story is far from over.”
As for Days of Our Lives, Mansi’s comeback as Abigail promises a mix of emotional reunions, shocking twists, and long-awaited answers — a true treat for fans of the long-running NBC soap.
✨ One thing is certain: whether in Port Charles or Salem, Kate Mansi continues to prove she’s one of daytime television’s most talented and beloved stars.
