Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I think it's ridiculous they're in coordinated costumes. Also I get being annoyed Chad is with Ari and Gabi with Thomas. I used to get so upset to see Kristen with Brady and belle in the 90's. But at least John and Kristen were in a relationship, Gabi has a boyfriend. It isn't Chad.
It's too much family "bonding" out of nowhere and it doesn't make sense. Chad suddenly the stand in "daddy" for
Ari when she already has Sonny and JJ and Chad being the only person Gabi ever talks with because of mean, cruel Julie? Nope. It rings hollow. The whole thing is a plot point and is a shallow shell of a story. It's too rushed and there is no energy or charisma to it.

The thing is that they could have actually pulled this off, they certainly had the time with Abby gone but the reality is that they didn't and I feel nothing for them but annoyance. Gabi is just whiney and Chad is latching on to anybody he can talk to. It comes off as pathetic. :shame:

With Abby literally on the doorstep finally, it's too late because nothing matters except that Abby is here. :cheers:
I don't enjoy anyone Chad gets to interact with. Gabi, Kate, Andre. The idea of Lucas and Adrienne is fine but that should be Jennifer.

Maybe Valerie's presence in Salem reminds Julie that she has a son out there somewhere.
I'm not holding my breath, but I would be delighted if this came true.
Oh God, Gregg Marx as David Banning for a surprise return. I would wet my pants. :cheer:

I'm not sure how I feel about Aiden's exit. I'm glad he's leaving. I don't think the character should have ever been brought back in the first place. The exit seems lame though. Like H&Q just changed their minds all of a sudden. For weeks now, Aiden's been taunting Hope and Rafe about the secret. And within a few episodes, he just changes his mind and leaves town? That seems off.

I'm continuing to roll my eyes at the writing for Andre. With Anna coming back, I'm really hoping the speculation that Andre is Tony is correct. I just don't believe Andre would ever do the things he's been doing lately. Even for his own gain. He's a psychopath!

I'm looking forward to the truth about Hope killing Stefano coming out. I know people are sick of Hope, but I'd rather see focus on her with secret revealed than focus on her keeping the secret hidden. I still don't think Stefano is dead, and they'll figure out a way to explain how he faked his death again. Something has to get Hope off this charge.

I'm also looking forward to Rafe and Chad scenes. I hope H&Q focus back in on that friendship that was developing last year. I loved them together.

More Kate and Eduardo is always a good thing to me.

Victor retiring is intriguing. I would really like this story if it was being told at a different time. Deimos is going to end up running Titan and that is just stupid.

I wonder if the secret Deimos asks Victor to keep is that Xander is in Greece working for him. I'm not sure Xander would tell Victor that though, given how Victor feels about Xander. I'm not sure what else it could be though. Maybe that he's planning to propose to Nicole. Wouldn't shock me.

Dario and Eduardo going into business together sounds cool. I just hope I like the business they're going to start. Please don't be stupid.

And I love that the show is celebrating Halloween this year. I think the show really missed a great opportunity last year with not playing up Halloween during the serial killer storyline. It would've been perfect. From what I remember from 2003, Higley liked celebrating holidays. She did St. Patrick's Day. She even brought back the St. Luke's carnival. It seems she likes tradition. I hope we get a good Thanksgiving celebration this year. Christmas is a given. New Year's too!

I'm looking forward to Ciara and Victor's scenes. Have they ever been in a scene together?

The camp out being right outside the town square is lame as hell. Surely they could've pulled out the park/wooded area set for those scenes.

I'm really looking forward to Valerie's return. I like how the article says big elements from the past play out and involve many people. I hope that's not just Valerie's minor history with Abe from the 80s. I need Julie involved in Valerie's return. Maybe Valerie's presence in Salem reminds Julie that she has a son out there somewhere.
Nice round up and I agree with everything except for Kate and Eduardo. They seem so mismatched and their chemistry before wasn't noteworthy. Eduardo and Eve definitely had a spark and with their history make them a more interesting pair to tune in for.

I can see it now- they happen to show up there in coordinated outfits! Much like Abby and Melanie did that one time...With the sad way poor JJ was shot laying there all by himself yesterday and what we have seen and learned about Abby these past weeks, I just can't get in board this train. IA it is way over the top. I don't know if it's the actors or the show that's trying to sell it so hard but it's kind of falling flat. Yes, Gabi has a boyfriend. In.a.coma.

I like Chad and Gabi together. At this point, they're still just friends who are supporting each other, but they have a cute vibe to their interactions.

The writing certainly seems to be heading toward a deeper relationship between them, but I think they will each be disappointed/hurt by their SOs before that happens.

I also think the coordinating costumes will be an accident.

I want Hope to go to jail and be off-screen for a while. I know that I won't get that, but I'm tired of Hope.

I hope that the fact that Rafe helped Hope cover up Stefano's murder ends the stupid Chafe friendship.

I feel bad that JA has to be subjected to VJ's awful acting. :shame:

I agree that Deimos taking over Titan is stupid and lame.

I don't mind seeing Chad with Gabi and Ari, it's cute. The problem is that we see more Chad with Gabi than JJ with Gabi and more Chad with Ari than Sonny with Ari so it feels like Chad is stealing JJ's girlfriend and Sonny's daughter.
:-/

Thank you! Chad is annoying me too. He knows JJ is Gabi's boyfriend and he should not be doing things JJ should be doing. I don't feel anything between Gabi and Chad, they're boring IMO.

The last person I enjoyed his interactions with was Belle, tbh. I wish Laura hadn't been so hard on him when she was with him because their interactions could have been interesting imo.

The cordinating costumes thing is laughable, lmao. Chad looks cute with the twins though.

I'm sorry but nothing will top Bo and Hope's Rhett Butler and Scarlet O'Hara from 1990 during the Cruise of Deception. Rope looks awkward!!!
Ain't that the truth, but don't be sorry :)

I have zero problems with the way Chad is acting right now with Gabi. He hasn't crossed any lines of friendship with her which is completely opposite of the way he was with Abby. He took every chance he could get to cross the line with her when she was with Ben.

I do think Chad is latching onto her bc he's been incredibly lonely for the last 6 months. Chad literally spent four months in the same t-shirt, living in a dark room angry/hurt/miserable/lonely over losing the love of his life (long before Abby was even declared dead). That can't go on forever because this is a soap and Chad was going to move on at some point regardless of whether Abby was coming back or not.

I don't believe for a second that he has stopped loving Abby or has forgotten her; he's just trying to find a way to live without her now. And I think Chad & Gabi will only get together because they're both going to be hurt by JJ & Abby (which I already hate). I don't think Chad & Gabi will be sold as some great love story just a rebound relationship which will eventually end back with Chabby & Jabi.

Having said that Chad & Gabi do nothing for me and I've NEVER been a Gabi fan so I'm just going to wait out the inevitable triangle and look forward to any and all good Chabby stuff we get.

I would actually prefer that they break up Chabby now and build them back up (which is essential to me with a recast) then put them back together happy right away and break them up 6 months from now.

And Billy did say that Chabby fans would enjoy this story and as of yet he's never given the Chabby fandom reason to mistrust his words. So while I do have my doubts, I'm looking forward to having my (new) Chabby back!

I'm guessing now that the announcement at the Halloween party is that Hope killed Stefano.

I was just discussing this over in the daily discussion thread. I feel like Chad & Gabi are on their way to crossing the line. I really don't give a hoot what JJ does, Gabi has already been totally inconsiderate of him and treated him like a nonentity. That doesn't get her off the hook. As for Abby, Chad might be hurt he didn't tell her she was alive, but she's ill or has been recovering from illness. If that is Chad's excuse for getting with Gabi, Abby certainly has legitimate reasons for her actions.

I'm glad that Steve & Kayla are getting a romantic night but I hope that's not it for the next 6 months. This show is in desperate need of more romance.

I like DC but I never want to see Aiden again.

I'm looking forward to Chad finding out about his father's death. I'm sure that will pull him even closer to Andre which I hate. Like others, I wish it would be revealed that he was Tony somehow. Or have Andre leave and have Anna come back with Tony.

I have no interest in Kate & Eduardo and I'm surprised they went back there. I'm going to be annoyed if they brought back Eve and paired her with Deimos since he's been totally ruined as a character. I still want Eve & Eduardo.

Last person I enjoyed him with was Marlena, to be honest. Even if it's tiny and with other people around, I'm drawn to them. Potential romantically? Belle, for sure. But as in anyone? Marlena.

If that is Chad's excuse for getting with Gabi, Abby certainly has legitimate reasons for her actions.
I won't be surprised if they cross the line. It's not OCC for Chad so I could see it. I just don't buy that Chad has fallen madly in love with Gabi and that's why it's going to happen. I think he's been lonely/unhappy and Gabi has been there for him. I'm not excusing it but for Chabby's sake it makes a difference to me WHY Chad's doing it.

I think JJ and Abby are going to be totally thrown under the bus for Chad & Gabi to happen which is my main issue with how this whole story is going to probably play out.

If JJ's lie is about hiding Abby then I will be pissed if Gabi breaks up with him over that. She of all people should understand the lengths a brother will go to protect his sister. If JJ cheated then I will understand her being upset, I don't care how whiney Gabi has been. Unless, of course she's crossed the line with Chad before they break up and then she has no right to be pissed.

Since I've believed from day 1 that everything Abby said in her letter to Chad was true, I don't believe she was ever planning to come back to him and Thomas. I think she heard from Andre that Chad and her family weren't giving up their search, so, she asked Andre to fake her death. It wasn't until Laura came to help that she probably realized she could get better and could eventually go home.

So while I get why Abby probably did it, I also understand why Chad is going to be upset and heartbroken. And it was Laura that made it clear that while Abby had PTSD, she KNEW what she was doing when she made the decision to leave Chad and their son. Chad has never been angry about that and always got mad at Ciara when she said Abby abandoned him but I do think he's going to end up being heartbroken over it for several reasons. And I know you and I aren't going to agree on this point AT ALL. LOL

I do think this story has every chance of ruining Chabby for some fans and I get why. I guess time will tell if that's the case for me as well.
