To paraphrase Days of our Lives‘ Doug Willams, crazier things have happened in Salem than Abigail escaping the Grim Reaper for a second time — which seems very much the case judging from that empty coffin. Actor Billy Flynn, who’s found himself in the thick of the drama since Clyde Weston (James Read) claimed Abigail was among the living, recently mused on the big story.
Billy Flynn Talks Search For Abigal
Billy Flynn relayed to Soap Opera Digest that he’s all for the reveal that his onscreen missus is alive and kicking…maybe. However, there’s a caveat — and it all comes down to the execution. “From what I understand, it was the temporary writers we had during the strike that started the storyline. Then Ron [Carlivati, head writer] came in after that, after the seed was planted.
“So I’m just kind of going, ‘Okay, whatever this story is going to be, it’s going to be,’ especially with the hand-off from the temp writers to Ron. The last time [Abigail was resurrected] there was intent. The story was planned out how Abigail was going to come back. When Marci started, I knew it was going to be a big story. This time around, I didn’t know what it was going to be.
On working with James Read AKA Clyde Weston: “I really enjoy working with him. I don’t know how he feels about me, but I know that anytime I work with him, the stakes are raised a little bit for me. I get a little bit of nervous butterflies in the stomach because I know there’s always — even if it’s not necessarily in the script — a potential for something really cool to happen between us. I love James Read, and I relish the opportunity to work with him.”
On a Chad/Abigail Redux: “You can’t recreate anything. It’s got to be its own thing. It’s got to be different. Sometimes something evolves more than you thought it would as well. There just needs to be a spark, and then, sometimes, it can really grow into something.”
