[edit] Character History

The only daughter of Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton, Abby was born on screen on October 19, 1992, but has been aged since. She is named after Alice Horton's mother Abigail and Jack's mother Josephine. Now a smart, attractive teenager, Abby is just starting to navigate Salem's social scene.

When Abby was born, she came down with aplastic anemia as the result of polluted well water. Jack felt so guilty and responsible that he left town. Eventually, he returned and the entire Deveraux family went to live in Africa for a few years. Later, Abby developed leukemia but a bone marrow donation from Austin Reed saved her life.

Abby's international upbringing also includes Ireland, where she and her mother lived before returning back to Salem. When her father returned to town, Abby hoped her parents would reunite, but her mom had other ideas. When Jack fell victim to the Salem Stalker, Jennifer made the heart-wrenching decision to turn off the life support. It was a decision that Abby was furious about.

Luckily, Jack wasn't really dead and soon the family was reunited. They also welcomed a new member, baby Jack Jr. Sadly, Jack became ill shortly after his return and allegedly died in a car accident where his body was never found. Abby retreated into her own world and started spending a lot of time with her friend Chelsea.

In 2006, on the eve of Abby's mother Jennifer's wedding to Frankie Brady, Jack returned from being presumed dead with his presumed-dead amnesiac brother, Steve Johnson. After receiving a successful experimental treatment for his illness, Jack was finally cured and able to return to his life. Jack and Jennifer soon left for London to run the Spectator newspaper office. Abigail would remain in Salem at the university studying business.

Abby soon began working as an assistant at friend Max Brady's garage, helping with paperwork and generally keeping the garage in order. Abby soon developed a crush on Max and began displaying jealous feelings towards Max's relationship with Mimi Lockhart. However, she still has not completely admitted her feelings.

Currently, Abby is being pursued by fellow student Jed Stark, the brother of former prostitute Willow Stark. Mimi Lockhart recently left Salem, and now the man Abby had a crush on - Max Brady - is available again.
