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 mean yes, she knew she was leaving Chad, but this was an ill woman who got home and felt like she would never be looked at in the same way by Chad or anyone (according to the letter). I totally understand that fear, especially in her fragile condition. It's very common for mentally ill people to be afraid of what everyone thinks of them. You cannot say she wasn't influenced by her mental illness when she was still having hallucinations of Ben the day before. Mental illness doesn't just disappear over night.

Oh, just to add, I do understand Chad being hurt by it (I don't think Abby had Andre fake her death though). However, after the hell Abby has been through the last 18 months, I would expect him to try to understand. I certainly don't think it gives him a reason or a pass to sleep with Gabi.

I kind of wonder if Abby will think of her dad not coming home when he was sick (different sickness, but still sick) and letting everyone believe he was dead. It might be an interesting beat to play, lots of history there. But then again she might come back with the intent to take back her life, which is a bit different. Still, I like the parallel insofar as it is one.

I would be understanding of Chad's anger with Abby and JJ if they're hiding her presence from him. But with Gabi, I don't know, for her it will really depend on the reason why they kept it secret. If it's because of Abby's personal wish or something related to her safety, I don't think I would really get Gabi's anger, because it would have nothing to do with whether or not JJ trusts her or anything to do with his feelings for her. Certainly I don't think it would really "excuse" her cheating on him (you know, in that soap way). But there's a lot of story potentially left to tell so we'll see how it all unwinds. I do think that Chad and Gabi's rekindling of their friendship has been awkwardly timed and paced (like much else).

I do like how JJ could always point out that Rafe fudged evidence for Gabi, rationally she should understand that a brother would care that deeply for his sister that he's close to. But people aren't always rational and if it's played right Gabi withdrawing from JJ might go over sympathetically. But I still get a feeling it will be rushed and half baked just because so much lately has been IMO. We'll see I guess.

Mental illness doesn't disappear period. It's something people struggle with their entire life. Some days are better than others. But I'm sure the writers won't stay true to that.

I agree it stays with you to varying degrees throughout one's life. I don't know how Dena will write it, but that doesn't erase what we've already seen.

Dena seems to be pretty good about writing Theo as autistic, but then she originated that story. I hope she does the same with Abby. We don't need to see her as "crazy" but I don't want them to pretend like it never happened either.

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.
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.
In today's (Friday) show Sonny showed Paul a costume he was going to talk to Gabi about for Arianna to wear for Halloween - a nun' s outfit. That picture clearly shows Arianna in a different outfit than a nun. Maybe Gabi rejected Sonny's idea.

I am a EJAMI fan, but I also missed the duo of EJ & Nicole. Marlene & Darrell really liked this pair a lot, before they had to change it because of the reaction of the fans for the November sweeps of 2011.

I agree. A mentally ill woman who escaped from a place that misdiagnosed her and mistreated her. I am sure Andre took full advantage of her state of mind that day. From what Abby said she didn't want her family waiting around for her to get better like her mom did with Laura. She saw that was decades. Chad meant well but I am sure what distressed Abby heard was "get better. After that, we will be happy." She wanted him to be happy, saw herself as that deterrent,so she left. It takes a long time to get back to a healthy state of mind. i would hope Chad would eventually understand but...I don't know what the writers have planned for him in terms of that. Ole Gabi is so much fun and all...

Yes, I do know if they are out.

They aren't.

When they are somebody almost always links them.

But if you're worried nobody has bothered to link them, you can check at tv source and check for yourself.

Thank you JCP.

I have an awful feeling that Jade is going to be pregnant and that will be the unsettling news Steve and Kayla get on Thursday. I hope not, I don't like teen pregnancy stories.

Honestly, I worried about that, too. But I just don't think the show would miss the opportunity to have Joey and Steve's other son after the same girl. And Jade is the only girl in Salem that Joey isn't related to.

Thank you JCP.

Awhile back, there was photo posted of Real Andrews who plays Jade's dad was at home with his scripts. So it looks like he will be seen again. We are not rid of Jade yet.

I read somewhere on SOC board a way awhile ago, that Jade is still with the show...unless Days changed their plans recently.
