From 1972 to mid-1973, Abigail appeared in the Network Ten sexed-up soap opera, as Bev Houghton. She was promoted as a sex symbol and she became “Australia’s undisputed number 1 female sex symbol in the early 1970s” through her role, which provided fleeting nude glimpses. As the show’s most famous sex symbol many people assume that Abigail was the first woman to appear topless on Australian television; however, that credit belongs to fellow cast member in the same series. To the surprise of her television fans, Abigail left the cast of in mid-1973, and her character of Bev Houghton went to Victoria Raymond (a.k.a. Victoria Resch), real life sister of who had been written into the series shortly before Abigail’s departure and also presented as a sex symbol.
