John, I didn't realize that growing up because I loved the show so much. However, I just rewatched it and when it got to the seasons without her, I stopped watching. Her last season was spectacular! There was no topping that season and the show were just dull without her especially since they seemed too afraid to allow Paige, Anne, or Claudia to be as nasty as Abby.

I absolutely love her facial expression when she says "Oh, and don't call me cookie". Her beautiful eyes narrow ever so slightly to convey that tone of threat that the line is meant to deliver. The subtle level of scorn in her voice together with that look make it obvious that she just LOATHES him. Oh how I love that

She seduces Peter into telling Paige to, "take a hike". Then Abby tells Peter to, "take a hike". There are so many great Abby moments that it would take multiple KZfaq clips to capture them all. Please keep them coming.

I didn't really like Abby--until she was fighting for Olivia's life, over Olivia's drug addiction. Donna just lived that anguish as a nearly helpless mother who, nonetheless, would never surrender her daughter. She allowed her character to be filmed with no makeup and broken with the struggle. She gave Bette Davis a run for her money! That's a performance I still remember to this day.

Then she goes to Ruth's apartment and tricks here into telling her about Peter. The next episode she takes care of Peter too.
