The town of Salem is abuzz with the shocking news that Abigail Deveraux may still be alive. For years, her loved ones have been mourning her presumed death after she seemingly perished at the hands of a deranged Gwen. But now, the conniving Clyde Weston has dropped a bombshell – claiming Abigail is very much alive and well.
While Clyde is hardly the most trustworthy source, the prospect that beloved Abigail could have somehow survived is too enticing to dismiss entirely. After all, stranger things have happened in Salem. There have already been two significant returns that seem tied to these stunning revelations about Abigail’s potential resurrection.
First, news broke that Casey Moss is reprising his role as Abigail’s younger brother JJ. The timing cannot be a mere coincidence. JJ was extremely close with his only sister, and her death devastated him. He would inevitably need to be in Salem if Abigail truly is among the living once more.
Then came the biggest shocker – Matthew Ashford is also coming back as Jack Deveraux, Abigail’s father. After being cruelly run out of town by Xander and Gwen’s underhanded tactics, Jack is finally returning home. His arrival is scheduled for June 18th, just days after Clyde’s shocking claims about Abigail’s status.
However, Jack’s return may not be the heartwarming family reunion fans are hoping for. According to spoilers, he will somehow get in the way of Chad and Julie’s mission to locate Abigail after Clyde provides hints about her whereabouts. This begs so many questions – does Jack know something the others don’t about his daughter’s fate? Has he resigned himself to her death and can’t fathom the possibility she’s alive? Or are Chad and Julie simply keeping Jack out of the loop until they uncover the full truth?
Whatever Jack’s role is, it seems obvious his presence is going to accelerate the revelations surrounding Abigail in a major way. Salem is a town where the dead don’t always stay buried, both literally and figuratively. If there’s even a sliver of a chance that one of the most iconic heroines is really out there somewhere, you can be sure her tenacious loved ones won’t stop until they uncover what really happened.
Abigail’s returns have been rumored and hoped for many times before, only to be a disappointment. But this time, the pieces are falling into place in an undeniable way. Buckle up, Salem fans – the truth is coming, one way or another. Abigail’s story is far from over.
