For heaven's sake, is there some law against a male and female becoming good friends? Why would "bonding" mean in a romantic way? How about just cooling those jets, taking a step back, and not jumping to conclusions.

No there isn't, but the scene on Thursday didn't suggest just friendship is in their future. Couple that with the selfish way Gabi has been treating JJ (not wanting him to do his job, but to focus all on her), some of us can read the tea leaves.

I mean take the scenes between Chad and Belle. All I got from those scenes was friendship vibes. It wasn't the same thing with the scenes between Chad and Gabi from this past Thursday. The vibe was different. They have him undressing in front of her.

And they're putting them in a potentially compromising situation in the panic room. The belle comparison is perfect.

Don't see it that way. Chad gave Gabi a huge opportunity in the job offer, she knows that in the past, she screwed up. Yep, she is upset with JJ's not corresponding with her, but both Chad & JJ are dealing with the "death" of the same person. Gabi knows that. Is it really too far fetched to think that Gabi might be concerned about her daughter, Ari, who has been left with a more or less stranger (even tho probably intended for only a few minutes) during a blackout?
While I will admit that most guys would be wearing a T shirt under any shirt, big deal that Chad tried on a shirt while Gabi was in the room. They have known each other since school, are friends. Was he supposed to go into another room? Sheesh.

I agree with this so much that I wish I would have come up with it myself. LOL

It is amazing to me how people can see the same scene so differently. I didn't even think that Gabi and Chad were even being particularly flirtatious. I just saw two old friends engaged in light-hearted banter and that's all. I didn't get a romantic vibe at all. Now as far as Gabi looking at Chad's physique goes well apparently like most women Gabi thinks he has a nice one. In other news the sky is blue and water is wet. :blulaugh:

I also don't get this Gabi not wanting JJ to do his job and just focus on her business. I'm guessing that's because of her irritation over his texting at the Pub? Well I didn't hear him say that was work related. Maybe he did and I just didn't catch it but I think that's an assumption people are making because they need her to be the "bad guy" for some reason.

But anyway that of course is just my read on the situation.

I don't need Gabi to be the bad guy, but the way she has treated JJ lately has been pretty selfish and self-centered. She was angry he didn't text her enough while he was looking for his sister's body! I mean come on. His sister just "died" and he's trying to recover her body and it's suddenly all about Gabi. And yes, JJ's texts were work-related. He is a cop and Gabi knows that. She's finding the littlest things to get upset about.

Maybe the "bad guy" comment was a little unfair and it wasn't really directed at you specifically but I see why it came across that way and I apologize.

I just don't see it entirely the same way. The way I look at it is that Gabi has been in two relationships with people who closed themselves off and shut her out. Will because because he was unsure of his sexuality. And then there was Nick, well numerous papers could have been written about that boy's problems. Then when you take into account that she at heart a very insecure girl who feels like she is being shut out again I can see her feeling hurt.

Now lest you think I am just making excuses because I'm a Gabi fan and am I ever, I will say I didn't like how their scenes in the park ended. Even though I do think she had a point to an extent I did think she did need to relent at some point and soften and she really didn't And that did bother me. But as far as the texting thing goes I'm sorry I just saw it differently and will leave it at that.

I'll also add that yes she should have told JJ about the job with Chad even though I think she didn't because she wanted to avoid the fight she still she should have told him.

I understand her feelings of being shut out, but I feel like they could had her convey it in a more mature way to JJ. Gabi has been through a lot: losing Arianna, her abusive relationship with Nick, killing Nick, going to prison, and even Ari being kidnapped. Who by the way, was with Gabi during her crisis at the expense of being at his own sister's wedding? He only showed up at Abby's wedding because of the Ben scare and left early to support Gabi. He gave her his undivided attention. Anyways, after everything Gabi has been through, I don't get how she can't understand how hard it is for JJ that his mentally ill sister "died" and it was difficult for him to be looking for her body. JJ mentioned how hard death is for him to handle. Not everyone handles it the same way. She still didn't cut him some slack and express empathy. I agree with you that I didn't like how the park scenes ended.

I feel like this story would have been set up better had Gabi been involved with the JJ/Abby/Chad stuff previously. You'd think they would have shown JJ and Gabi talking about Abby's problems and also Jennifer's problems (as well as Gabi's family issues). They could have had Gabi come with JJ to visit Abby the week before she escaped. We could have seen a progression of some tension between them instead of Bam! Gabi is mad he didn't text her. I've always thought her absence from Abby's story was bizarre. I guess it was because Camila was taping Mistresses and not on set.

You don't need to apologize. I usually like Gabi, but those scenes with JJ two weeks ago left me with a bad taste. I know we haven't seen a lot of Jabi, but I feel like JJ is the best boyfriend Gabi has had and these issues seem so spur of the moment and contrived.

On these points I'm happy to say I totally agree with you. Gabi could and should have conveyed that to JJ in a more mature way. I think that reveals the crux of their problem is that at some point offscreen they've had a breakdown in communication. Which as they say is a two-way street. I just want them hash this thing out already.

I also agree that Gabi needed to be involved in this Chad/JJ/Abigail thing much sooner and if they were going to do the triangle they needed to develop it over the summer instead of that Ciara nonsense. As you say that can probably be blamed on Camila's "Mistresses" schedule. That's why I think appearances will turn out to be deceiving where Chad and Gabi's relationship is going because with Abigail returning in November I just don't think there's time for it develop with even the subtlety of a jackhammer. Maybe I'm giving the Quon/Highley too much credit here, but I really don't think it's going to be anything more then just angst for Jabi they will get over.

Just for the record it's not easy for to me to admit that Gabi can maybe possibly be in wrrr- excuse me I seem to be having keyboard trouble-wrr well let's just say not totally right. Now I must go consume Ben & Jerry's. :D

I wish Camilla Banus had chosen to play Gabi being upset with JJ differently. I think she could have made it seem more like Gabi was hurt that JJ wouldn't let her comfort and support him. Instead she came off as a bit petulant.

I get that they're trying to finally bring conflict to JJ/Gabi but for obvious reasons it's not coming off as good as it could have with more thought.

I am really kind of insulted by the Deimos Chole story! Sounds like a man viewing a woman as merely an incubator for HIM and he is owed something for a quickie! Her needs, her desires are being viewed as well, irrelevant if they conflict with Deimos
